Qektoth Confederation Space Station The Qektoth Confederation Space Station was located in the Qu ' mock system . It was used as a research facility by the Qektoth Confederation . History . Original purpose and hijacking . Built over one hundred years prior to 8 ABY , the space station was originally intended to serve as a scientific outpost to study the Gandle Ott region . Several months after going on line , the station was attacked by a group of crime lords and escaped criminals . Capturing the station , they used their strike craft to tow the station to their hidden base for use as a communications center . None of this was known to the outside galaxy - the station was logged as disappeared with all crew missing . Thirty - four years later , an earthquake devastated the planet that the station orbited , and the station was left abandoned since no one on the surface survived . Under the control of the Qektoth Confederation . In 18 BBY , Drigor Tarrens discovered its location , and brought it to the attention of the Qektoth Confederation when he joined them . The Confederation restored the station to its scientific purpose , and transported it to the Qu ' mock system so they could do their research work in secret . In 8 ABY , an assault team from the New Republic corvette " FarStar " boarded the station with the intention of downloading computer files in order to create an antidote to a Confederation - created disease . However , the station personnel were evacuating the station anyway , and they used their own biochemical agent to destroy the station during the Battle of Qu ' mock . Design . The station was cylindrical , with a cone - like module at each end which were topped by various antennae . At one end of the station , four Durasteel alloy arms protruded from the hull , each topped with a hexagonal solar energy array . The station was divided into several levels , and a shaft containing two turbolifts ran through the center of the facility . In addition , four ladder shafts were placed around the edge of the station at ninety degree intervals . Hangars . The docking bays of the space station were located in the center of the station . Four bays were arranged around the central column that housed the turbolift shafts . Each bay had an opening to space protected by a force - field . Crew decks . The station ' s crew decks were simple affairs , with bunks and plasteel trunks . Storage . The station ' s storage bay was four levels high and contained a vast amount of metallic debris ranging from transponder s to hyperdrive casings . Part of the storage bay was sealed off by a force field , and contained oval cases and large rectangular containers . The atmosphere inside the section was used for refrigeration , and the containers held the mutilated corpses of hundreds of Human and aliens that were the remnants of the Confederation ' s experiments . One of the containers held the prisoner Fasha Dansun , who was rescued by the crew of the " FarStar " during the Battle of Qu ' mock . Science labs . The science lab filled the bottom cone of the station , and each room housed experimental equipment that the Confederation used to conduct their research .
