Description: Ajan Kloss was a jungle moon located in the Cademimu sector of the Outer Rim Territories, orbiting the gas giant Ajara. Though Ajan Kloss was a moon, it had two moons of its own. Prior to the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War, Alderaanian scouts charted Ajan Kloss, which was located in a patchily explored stretch of space off the Celanon Spur. However, the scouts deliberately hid it from the Imperial Senate because it was short-listed as a potential home for a rebel base like Yavin 4 and Dantooine, but the shifting battlefront against the Empire precluded Ajan Kloss from being used during the conflict, yet it served as a training ground for Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa at the latter's suggestion one year after the Battle of Endor. The Resistance maintained a presence on Ajan Kloss during the war against the First Order. The mission to find Exegol was launched from the Resistance base, and when the planet's location was uncovered, the Resistance forces scrambled. They later returned with the allied fleet for the victory celebrations.
Klosslands
The Klosslands was an area of jungle on the moon Ajan Kloss. During the war between the First Order and the Resistance, the Resistance operated from a base in a vast cave within the Klosslands.
Resistance base
The Resistance utilized a base on Ajan Kloss after their former base on D'Qar was eliminated by the First Order. It contained two parts, a small landing zone for the Resistance's starfighters; and a natural cave used as a hanger for the Tantive IV. Both these sections were located in the Klosslands. Eventually, after the Battle of Exegol, the allied fleet traveled back to the base.
Starfighter landing zone
This section of the Resistance Base was used as a landing zone for the Resistance's starfighters. The Resistance attached sensor scattering nets to the tops of trees. These nets would prevent the starfighters from being detected if the First Order ever scanned Ajan Kloss. Under these protective nets, the Resistance could land and repair their: Seven X-wings, seven Y-wings, six B-wings, nine A-wings, and one U-wing. They were also able to land the troop transport Fortitude onto the surface of Ajan Kloss.
Multi-purpose cave
A natural limestone cave close to the Starfighter Landing Zone was used as a hanger for the Tantive IV, and the command center for the Resistance. Because the Resistance Base is still in its early stages of construction, General Organa's landed command ship, the Tantive IV, serves as a generator, barracks, meeting spot, in addition to being a command ship. Rey Skywalker maintained a small section of the cave. Here she studied the ancient Jedi texts she had recovered from the temple on Ahch-To, repaired Anakin Skywalker's second lightsaber, and studied the Kyber crystal in the said lightsaber. The command center is on the left side of the cave, with the Tantive IV in the middle, and Rey's Jedi section on the far right side. There was also a small room that served as Organa's bedroom while everyone else who wasn't on duty slept in the Tantive IV. The Resistance also constructed a laser-cut trail, which led from the multi-purpose cave to the Starfighter Landing Zone.
History
Prior to the start of the Galactic Civil War, the jungle planet of Ajan Kloss was charted but hidden from the Imperial Senate scouted. Ajan Kloss, along with Yavin 4 and Dantooine were hidden from the eyes of the Imperial government due to being a potential Rebel Base. After the Battle of Endor, Ajan Kloss did house a small Rebel Alliance outpost. It was also where Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa trained. After the First Order destroyed the former Resistance base on D'Qar, and forced what was left of the Resistance from there Crait Outpost, General Organa decided to establish a base on Ajan Kloss, in memory of her jedi training days. Around 35 ABY, the Resistance Base hadn't been fully constructed. However, is unitized the Tantive IV to handle abilities that the Dantooine base, Great Temple, Echo Base, D'Qar base and Crait Outpost were able to handle. Organa did the same thing with Home One prior to the Battle of Endor.
