Crseih Station Crseih Station was an Outer Rim asteroid prison of the Galactic Empire , also known as Asylum Station and Crseih Research Station . It was run by Procurator of Justice Hethrir , who used it as a research center where experiments that tested the limits of realspace , hyperspace , and otherspace . Construction . Crseih Station consisted of habitat domes and docking tubes arranged in an exotic and decadent and was also capable of making jumps into hyperspace . The station was also large enough to host a number of hotels including Crater Lodge which had several artificial pools and streams to stimulate a terrestrial climate . Following the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY , Crseih Station had relocated to the Crseih system where it orbited a black hole and a crystallizing white dwarf star . Due to a combination of the disturbances in the Force of the crystallizing star and Hethrir ' s torturing of his prisoners , a mysterious alien known as Waru was brought into the galaxy from another dimension . He was blob - shaped and covered in gold scales , but when the scales were exposed , there was an appearance of raw flesh that oozed . History . Hethrir made a deal with Waru : he would help him back to his dimension if Waru would help him obtain complete mastery over the Force . Waru agreed , and Hethrir began sacrificing selected prisoners to Waru . Waru could heal people by feeding them some of the Force energy he had collected from previous victims , but to replace that energy , he had to kill others . Soon , the fact that Waru could heal people by absorbing them into him was made into a cult , and Waru had made it appear that the failure to heal some people were either accidents , or that the person being healed did not believe in him enough . Thus , due to this , and as Crseih Station became a free trading spot and a slave market , religious worshipers began flocking to Crseih to seek healing at the Altar of Waru . Eventually , this reached Jedi Master Luke Skywalker who decided to investigate and left for Crseih with Han Solo and C - 3PO . Later , Hethrir kidnapped the Force - strong children of New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo and decided to sacrifice Anakin Solo - the youngest and yet the strongest in the Force - to Waru in exchange for his help . However , their plan was stopped by Leia , Luke , Han Solo and Hethrir ' s former mate Rillao . After Anakin Solo had been rescued , Waru gave up hope of creating a portal back to his galaxy , and instead pulled Hethrir into his energy field and vanished . Meanwhile , the white dwarf star had completed its " freezing " state into an unstable quantum crystal . It was also being drawn by the nearby black hole ' s gravity pull . The fragmentation of the star would take less than three standard hours and the resulting explosion would destroy everything in its path . Crseih Station ' s hyperdrive was quickly reactivated and made a quick jump into hyperspace as the crystal star exploded into countless quantum fragments , destroying any possibility of recreating the conditions which allowed Waru to enter the Galaxy . When Crseih Station arrived at Munto Codru , its passengers were detained by New Republic Intelligence for questioning over their role in the slave trade . The slaves housed there were also freed and returned to their homeworlds . However , its bazaar was not closed down . After the Codru - Ji Chamberlain Iyon of Munto Codru complained to sector authorities , Crseih Station was moved into orbit over nearby Pakuuni .
