Black Star

The BS003 Asteroid Battle Station, known unofficially but more commonly as the Black Star was a massive Orupian battlestation/superweapon designed to protect Orupia from any space type threat. Built into Garrinx which was one of the largest asteroids of the Ceylon Halo (a complex asteroid belt that surrounded Orupia) the Station's main function was to trigger a shield mesh that prevented any ships from crossing past the asteroid belt effectively shielding Orupia inside. The shield itself was protected by hundreds of turbo-lasers built into the many asteroids of the Ceylon Halo. A military base by design it was able to store numerous vessels within it's hangar and support a large crew, yet it also served as part of an ambitious mining project that would harvest the asteroid's traces of Phrik compounds. 
The station however would never be fully finished due to the lose of Revan's Sith Empire at the Battle of the Star Forge and subsequent assault on Orupia by the Galactic Republic. At that point the station was left in the charge of Korlan Valois who was to oversee the completion of the huge defence grid whilst Princess Sita Ceylon led the defence of her planet against the Republic and Jedi forces. 
Valois would however ultimately fail, and when Ceylon and her allies were either imprisoned or killed, the Black Star became something forgotten until it was eventually discovery by Jonset. It would then come under investigation by Princess Kileo Dimoh having considered that it might be a place where her fiancé Rhyley Stargazer may have retreated to. She would find the Black Star in a serious state of disrepair and seemingly abandoned aside from some Old Republic droids and technology.
