Hetzal system monitoring station

A monitoring station was located far out in the Hetzal system of the Outer Rim Territories by 232 BBY. It was crewed by two Galactic Republic scantechs, Vel Carann and Merven Getter, who monitored incoming and departing starships in the star system. The scantechs could also use the station's computers to send out a high-priority system-wide alert in case of an emergency.

In 232 BBY, debris from the destroyed freighter Legacy Run began emerging in the Hetzal system. Carann and Getter, unaware of the nature of the unidentified near-lightspeed objects, tracked their trajectories and briefly speculated on their identity before realizing they had to send out a system-wide alert and evacuate the station aboard its shuttle. After the scantechs sent out the alert, however, they both perished when one of the anomalies materialized in the station's vicinity and explosively collided with it.
