Orondia Refueling Station was a filling station located on the planet Orondia. Owned by a Bith, the station served as a fuel stop for starships during the Clone Wars.

Description

The filling station was a large refueling structure on the Orondia plains, featuring several starship berths surrounding the central station.[1]

History

"So you only gave them enough fuel to reach the nearest filling station on Orondia, which is owned by your brother? Well, that's a nice little money-making scam."
―Anakin Skywalker to a Bith merchant[1]

Posing as the mercenary Rako Hardeen, Obi-Wan Kenobi purchased a ship from a Bith merchant in Bilbousa on Nal Hutta, in order to assist Cad Bane in escorting Moralo Eval. The merchant ensured the ship had only enough fuel to reach the filling station on Orondia owned by his brother. Upon arrival in their Luxury 3000 space yacht, Eval paid the station owner and made for departure, but the crew was spotted by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, who gave chase across the plains.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Orondia filling station first appeared in "Friends and Enemies," a 2012 episode of the television series The Clone Wars. The station's design was derived from Dave Filoni's concept of a gray and bleak location he imagined Darth Vader might have visited after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The design was also inspired by the truck stop/gas station from the 1995 animated film Toy Story.[2]
