Outpost 17

Outpost 17 was an outpost that was established by the New Republic, in the Unknown Regions.

History
Outpost 17 was constructed in orbit of the planet Durace, to allow scientists to study the world's weather and topographical phenonmena from a safe distance. It also served another purpose, as a supply port for scouts who were working in the Unknown Regions.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the outpost was destroyed and a number of legends spread regarding what had happened to the facility's remains. The stories claimed that the outpost had crashed onto Durcae, and that it contained a valuable treasure. Some of the tales claimed that the treasure was a valuable ore, while in others, it was said to be the lightsaber of Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker.
