The palace dock was a section of the Pijali monarchy's royal palace on the Inner Rim planet Pijal. It was equipped with levitators and was large enough to host many royal fleet ships and landspeeders. In the Republic Era, sentry droids helped patrol the docks' premises.
During the holiday Coronation Eve in 40 BBY, the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn visited the palace docks to conduct maintenance work on his cruiser, a vessel loaned to him by the royal fleet. While there, he mentally considered his upcoming plans to rescue the jewel thief Rahara Wick from the Czerka Corporation, the company that had enslaved her. Jinn's Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, met his Master in the palace dock and discussed Wick's rescue plan with him, including how they had both requested the schematics for the vessel she was being held on, the Branch-class cruiser Leverage. Shortly afterward, the pair left the dock to investigate a loud commotion taking place outside.
The palace dock appeared in Master & Apprentice, a 2019 novel written by Claudia Gray.
