Space station

Space stations or simply stations were artificial^[2] structures in constructed to remain in space.^[3] Some, like the Citadel of Rur^[4] and Faos Station,^[5] were stationed independently in deep space or even in nebulas.^[6] Many stations were capable of being in orbit of astronomical objects, such as the Sorca Retreat.^[7]

Stations commissioned for military use often had emplacements of defensive mechanisms consisting of technologies like turbolaser batteries. Some stations could mobilize and navigate through both realspace and hyperspace.^[1]

The DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station^[8] and the DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station^[9] were constructed by the command of Darth Sidious, publicly known as the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic and later Emperor of the Galactic Empire.^[8] The two Death Stars were also classified as battle stations, a type of space station.^[1][9]

During or after 34 ABY,^[10] the Safari droid M1-RE, a specialized member of the Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts, was stationed on the Youngling Care Space Station where she cared for and studied several species of younglings.^[11] The station was very large and had several rooms,^[12] including one that was designed to resemble the Forest Moon of Endor.^[13]
