Skyhook (Kashyyyk)

This skyhook underwent construction on Kashyyyk in 2 BBY by Wookiee slaves under the watch of the Galactic Empire. It was anchored to the planet's surface by eight tractor pins. The skyhook was built for the purpose of shuttling Wookiee slaves into orbit to awaiting Imperial starships, which would then ferry the Wookiees throughout the galaxy to Imperial construction projects, including the first Death Star. Construction was overseen by Captain Ozzik Sturn.

Starkiller, the secret apprentice of Darth Vader, was tasked with destroying the skyhook by Princess Leia Organa in 2 BBY. He completed this task, killing Sturn and freeing the Wookiee slaves in the process.
