Steamy foliage and rain-forests cover the moon's surface, providing ample sensor distortion and visual cover from surveillance. These qualities and the planet's remote location make it an ideal hiding place for the Alliance. The Rebels have built Massassi Base into several abandoned temples and other ancient structures, converting them to operations wings, hangar bays and barracks. From this secret sanctuary the small Rebel force of X-wing and Y-wing fighters lifts off to attack the approaching Death Star.
