The Sanctuary Pipeline was a hyperlane that was created around 3 to 4 ABY. The Pipeline was created by the Galactic Empire as a route to quickly transport supplies and materials to the construction site of the second Death Star. The hyperspace route ran from Sullust, which was located right on the Rimma Trade Route, to the Forest Moon of Endor, which was the site chosen to build the massive space station.
It was located above the galactic plane but below the Spar Trade Route that ran to Annaj and the Kuna worlds.[1]
[edit] History
The Pipeline was actually the expansion of a smaller previous hyperlane, the Silvestri Trace. The route's name reflected its purpose, as the primary pipeline for building materials on their way to the Sanctuary Moon, the name given by the Imperials to the moon that the Death Star orbited. The Rebel Alliance utilized this route for transfer to the assault on the second Death Star.
