Empress-class space station

The Empress-class space station was an orbital facility designed to carry starfighters and provide docking space for small freighters. Its standard armament was ten turbolaser batteries and six laser cannons, and it had hanger space for up to three starfighter squadrons.

The Emrpess-class sation Yag-prime, orbiting the Givin homeworld Yag'Dhul, played a prominent role in the Bacta War. The station was operated by Warlord Zsinj until it was seized by the New Republic in the Battle of Yag'Dhul and later reported destroyed Pash Cracken. Yag-prime actually remained intact, and Rogue Squadron used it as their base of operations during the Bacta War, with Booster Terrik in command of the station.

Behind the Scenes
The cover illustration of The Krytos Trap indicates that the Empress-class space station bears a strong resemblance to the XQ2 and XQ5 Platforms, though it appears significantly larger.
