[edit] History
The city was built prior to the Great Sith War, survived the destruction of the Cron Drift, and was abandoned before the Clone Wars. The city contained murals depicting Jedi exploits of the Sith War, and contained a Jedi library. During the Great Jedi Purge, Aidan Bok was killed by Darth Vader on the station.
It was armed with Kuat V-200 ion cannons by the New Republic, during the events surrounding Operation Shadow Hand in the Galactic Civil War.
In 10 ABY, Luke Skywalker and Kam Solusar met there, and Luke brought Kam back to the light side. Following the destruction of Da Soocha V, the New Republic's leadership redeployed to the city, and it became the birthplace of Anakin Solo. The city was shortly later destroyed by the Reborn Emperor's Galaxy Gun.
