"You did well to find the connection with Centax Two, but if you keep crashing around you're going to get caught, so I'll save you some time. Yes, there are clones now being produced in facilities outside Kamino—some here, most on Centax, and a lot of them. No, the Grand Army command hasn't been told, because those Jedi generals will want the extra men to deploy right away, but they won't get them."

―Valaqil, to Besany Wennen

Centax-2, also spelled as Centax 2, Centax II and Centax Two, and also known simply as Centax, was one of the four moons of Coruscant.

History

Valaqil: "Very soon, Palpatine will unleash a huge clone army, the one he's been building on Centax Two."

Wennen: "We worked that out."

Valaqil: "He's not preparing to use it against the Separatists."

Ordo: "What makes you say that?"

Valaqil: "Because I have been to Centax Two, and I have seen deployment plans, to ensure that Qiilura wasn't on the list."

Ordo: "Want to expand on that?"

Valaqil: "Soldier, you can't even see what's in front of you, can you?"

Ordo: "So what troop strengths are we talking about? What targets?"

Valaqil: "Enough to occupy thousands of worlds."

―Valaqil, Besany Wennen and Ordo Skirata

The planet Coruscant and three of its four moons

In 41 BBY, Clee Rhara tried to establish a Jedi starfighter corps on Centax-2, but the project was canceled by the Galactic Senate after it was sabotaged by Vox Chun and Tarrence Chenati.

During the Clone Wars, Centax-2 was used by the Galactic Republic for military staging and fleet maintenance. In 21 BBY, agent Besany Wennen was investigating future clone Kamino payments for Mereel Skirata but instead found out that Spaarti cloning facilities were being built on Centax-2, and that Arkanian Microtechnologies was permitted to establish facilities there.

Centax-2 was also the location of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's secret clone trooper army.

By the time of the Blockade of Corellia in 40 ABY, Centax-2 hosted a Galactic Alliance starfighter training squadron base and was used by the New Jedi Order as a training facility.
