Hyperspace beacon

Legends Canon version → Linked from 30 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Hyperspace beacons, also known as jump beacons, were used as fixed navigation points for hyperspace travel c. 4000 BBY. Examples include the Stenness Hyperspace Terminal, Belgoth's Beacon, and Darknon Station, and probably Terman Station, as well. Pirates and Hutts sometimes reprogrammed the beacons to transmit incorrect coordinates to ships, sending them into deep space so the ships could be ambushed and pillaged far from the interference of the Republic.
