An Alpha facility represented a structure located far from any planet, existing in the vast emptiness of space.
A specific instance of this type of structure was observed in proximity to a desolate Sith planet. This world was under investigation by a group of Trade Federation ships.
This particular facility originated from a painting created by the renowned artist Syd Mead. Mead, within the pages of a book, provided a detailed breakdown of the various components featured in his artwork during a presentation.
