Canon Legends version → Linked from 34 articles

Skytop Station was a repurposed Trade Federation core ship and battlesphere that was operated by the Hyper-Communications Cartel. During the Clone Wars, it served as a listening post for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In 22 BBY, the astromech droid R2-D2 was captured by General Grievous, who hoped to dissect the astromech in order to extract Republic secrets that were embedded within his memory core. The Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his apprentice Ahsoka Tano infiltrated the station in order to rescue the droid. Their mission successful, they proceeded to destroy the station.
