Fort Anaxes was a remote military base on the planet Anaxes during the Clone Wars. After war's end, a cataclysmic event obliterated the planet, though miraculously, Fort Anaxes remained intact. The facility became a fuel depot and meeting place for those who required privacy in their dealings. Unbeknownst to visitors to Fort Anaxes, it had also become home to a colony of vicious fyrnocks nested on the massive rock.
