Sunspot Prison

Canon Linked from 49 articles

Sunspot Prison, also known as Sunspot, was a space-bound penitentiary maintained by the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. Reflecting its name, the prison orbited a star and was used to house the worst Imperial prisoners that the Alliance captured. In 0 ABY, Sunspot Prison was raided by the rogue rebel agent Eneb Ray in an attempt to convince Princess Leia Organa to become a more ruthless leader. Ray's attack killed many prisoners and forced the closure of the prison. Sunspot Prison was later in use by the aftermath of the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY.
