Jubilee Wheel (space station)

Jubilee Wheel The Jubilee Wheel was a space station orbiting Ord Mantell, constructed at some point prior to the start of the Yuuzhan Vong War in 25 ABY.

History


Jubilee Wheel was an antique, ring-shaped design produced by a Mid Rim engineering consortium from Hutt-supplied (mostly scavenged) parts and owned mainly by Big Bunji. Ten degrees of wheel and two spokes were unfinished.

Although it orbited Ord Mantell, it was effectively independent, being a successful starport until the Yuuzhan Vong War brought an end to trade. It contained the Bet's Off.

It was consumed by a Yuuzhan Vong dread weapon during the First Battle of Ord Mantell.

Behind the scenes
Dan Wallace attempted to hint in The New Essential Guide to Droids that the Jubilee Wheel and the Wheel were the same station, acknowledging that they have been drawn as looking different. However, the latter's appearance in Star Wars: Legacy makes the connection impossible.
