Junkfort Station

Junkfort Station was an Outer Rim Territories space station located in the Tharin sector at the junction of three hyperlanes. A notable shadowport and spice-smuggling point, Junkfort Station was often visited by starships in order to receive illegal modifications and equipment. Historically located in an area of space influenced by the Hutt species, by 17 BBY Junkfort Station was a part of the Galactic Empire.

The smuggler Han Solo and his copilot, Chewbacca, visited Junkfort Station in 0 ABY while searching for one of the rare power gem artifacts. Questioning spacers for leads in the station's cantina, Solo got involved in a brawl with two patrons of the establishment wishing to collect the sizable bounty that had been posted on Solo. Meanwhile, Chewbacca learned from another patron of the possible existence of a power gem on the planet Antipose, and after rescuing Solo, he and his companion departed Junkfort Station for that world. Nearly thirty years later, forces of the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong species captured Junkfort Station as part of their invasion of the galaxy.
