Stenness Hyperspace Terminal The Stenness Hyperspace Terminal , also known as the Stenness Spaceport , was a space station located near a hyperspace beacon in the Stenness system in the Inner Rim . A multilevel construct located on the mining frontier , the terminal contained many vendors and traders , with hundreds of levels featuring brothel s . Consequently , a large number of criminals on their way to stealing mining rights from the Nessie s , the natives of the Stenness Node region , passed through the station . Stenness - based crime lord Bogga the Hutt and his gang also maintained a presence on the station . In 3999 BBY , Jedi Knight Andur Sunrider and his family , while on their way to deliver a package of valuable Adegan crystal s to Jedi Master Thon , stopped on the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal . The crystals piqued the interest of Bogga , who sent three of his enforcers to retrieve them . Andur Sunrider was killed in the ensuing struggle , and his wife Nomi took up his lightsaber and struck down the thugs . Nomi Sunrider then left the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal in her ship , the " Lightside Explorer " , determined to finish her late husband ' s delivery . Description . The Stenness Hyperspace Terminal was a space station located near the Stenness system in the Inner Rim . It was a large , gray , multilevel structure , with many wings and halls extending from its main frame . The spaceport had three levels that contained docking bays , four levels featuring food courts that sold foodstuffs such as Stenness lizard pie , and nine hundred forty - seven levels with brothel s . As the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal had a high number of travelers that passed through , there were many traders and merchants that wandered the halls , trying to sell wares such as Novanian grog liquor . History . In 3999 BBY , hyperspace beacon s were vital to facilitate hyperspace travel . The beacons were constructed at jump points known to be safe and reliable , guiding the way for ships going into hyperspace . At many of the beacons complex spaceports were built , to house and service the ever - expanding trans - galactic traffic . One such beacon was located in the Stenness system in the Inner Rim , and it was at this site that the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal was created . The terminal was located on the mining frontier , and by 3999 BBY many criminals were known to pass through the station on their way to stealing mining rights from the natives of the Stenness Node region , the Nessie s . In 3999 BBY , Jedi Knight Andur Sunrider and his family , while on their way to deliver a package of valuable Adegan crystal s to the Tchuukthai Jedi Master Thon , docked at the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal in their ship , the " Lightside Explorer " . However , two of Stenness - based crime lord Bogga the Hutt ' s enforcers , Quanto and Gudb , discovered the package ' s existence through the use of on - station eavesdropping equipment . The two thugs brought the information to Bogga himself , piquing the Hutt ' s interest . Bogga assembled a group of three enforcers , consisting of Gudb , Rek , and Quanto , and sent them to accost the Sunriders as they waited for their ship to clear customs . Rek and Quanto began to push around Andur Sunrider ' s protocol droid , A - 3DO , drawing the Jedi ' s attention ; when Sunrider turned his back , Gudb released his pet gorm - worm , Skritch , who killed Sunrider with its poisonous bite . As Sunrider ' s wife , Nomi knelt over her husband ' s corpse , Andur ' s Force ghost appeared and directed Nomi to take up his lightsaber and defend herself from the thugs . Nomi did as she was told , and struck down the thugs with her fallen husband ' s weapon . Soon afterward , Nomi departed the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal in the " Lightside Explorer " , committed to finishing the delivery of the Adegan crystals . Around the same time as the Sunrider incident , Satal and Aleema Keto , heirs to the throne of the Empress Teta system , visited the station on their ship , the " Krath Enchanter " . The Ketos were en route to the Galactic Republic capital of Coruscant , and stopped by to re fuel . As the ship had no cargo , it was cleared to land at Docking Bay Four . Inhabitants . Many travelers passed through the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal , a good amount of them being criminals on their way to stealing mining rights from the Nessies . As such , many traders and merchants were present on the spaceport , hoping to do business with passersby . Local crime lord Bogga the Hutt maintained a presence on the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal , along with several of his enforcers . Also , there were hundreds of levels of brothels located on the station , indicating that there was a high number of prostitutes working on the spaceport . Locations . The Stenness Hyperspace Terminal had a thousand levels ; three of them with docking bays , four had food troughs , and nine hundred forty - seven featured brothels . The space station ' s docking bays , such as Docking Bay Four , where Satal Keto landed in the " Krath Enchanter " , were all numbered . There was a room where Bogga the Hutt and his gang stayed while on the terminal , along with a room that contained monitoring equipment that Bogga ' s enforcers used to track incoming ships and to discern which ones they should hijack . However , the monitoring station was located on the other side of the station from some of the docking bays , such as Docking Bay Six , discouraging Bogga ' s thugs from hijacking vessels in that area . The station ' s food courts were bustling and full of sentient beings , and fountains could be found nearby . Behind the scenes . The Stenness Hyperspace Terminal first appeared in " " , the second arc of the " " comic book series , written by Tom Veitch and released over late 1993 - early 1994 . The station only appeared in the arc ' s , but was also mentioned at the beginning of the . In these appearances , it was illustrated by Janine Johnston .

Strayton ' s 1996 reference book " Tales of the Jedi Companion " , and in 2008 it was referred to in several entries in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
