Refueling station

Refueling stations or refueling centers were used to service starships and supply them with fuel.

R2-D2 and C-3PO once worked at a refueling station alongside a lone attendant named Sindee. To help her pass the time, Sindee added programming to R2-D2 to allow him to play a competent game of dejarik. The Rebel Alliance maintained a refueling station that was attacked and destroyed by the Galactic Empire. One pilot survived long enough to be interrogated by Darth Vader, at last yielding the identity of Luke Skywalker to his father.

Nierport VII, a desolate moon along the Hydian Way in the Eeropha system, was home to a refueling station where pilots frequently made stopovers. The moon’s only settlement was based around the refueling station. It was the homeworld of Granta Omega, son of the Dark Jedi Xanatos. Omega’s mother, Tura Omega, worked at the station.
