Centerpoint Station



Centerpoint Station (originally called "Oolaraloq" by the Killiks) was an ancient space station supposedly created by the Killiks that was capable of moving entire planets with its tractor beams. Eons ago, it was used to move the planets of the Corellian system, including Corellia and Selonia, to their current location. The station sat at a lagrange point between the two worlds of Talus and Tralus, and it generated power from their gravity wells.

At a circumference of 350 kilometers, it was larger than the first Death Star. Lacking artificial gravity, the station spun on its axis. The station is hollow, and the inner surface is covered with artificial farmland and other turf and an inverted city known as Hollowtown which was settled by a population from Talus and Tralus. An artificial interior 'sun' was suspended in the center of the station, known as the Glowpoint. Its actual purpose was connected to the station's power generation system.

It was discovered, during the Corellian Crisis in 18 ABY, that the unique tractor beam system could be used as a weapon; a weapon capable of destroying entire stars, making it at least as powerful as a Sun Crusher. In this crisis, Thrackan Sal-Solo intended to use the station to force entire star systems into submission and restore the Imperial system. After a gripping battle, the "Starbuster Plot" was averted.

Hollowtown was incinerated by the Glowpoint when the Sacorrian Triad used the Station to supernova their first star. The few survivors returned to their planets.

A few years later during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Sal-Solo used Centerpoint Station to destroy an entire Yuuzhan Vong fleet, although this action also took out a great deal of the allied Hapan fleet as well.

Although there is no supporting evidence, the Killiks claimed they built Centerpoint, and that they also placed the Maw. The collective memory of the Killik species seemed at times to be extremely flexible, so this could be a specious claim.
