A desalination plant on Tipoca City
Desalination chambers, also known as desalination plants, represented technological constructs situated at the base of various domes within Tipoca City. Their function was to perform desalination - the process of eliminating salt content from ocean water. This process yielded distilled water, which was then suitable for use throughout the city. These plants incorporated compressor units alongside tanks designed for both condensation and evaporation processes. The ocean's water was channeled through the city's supporting pylons and directed into holding tanks containing the raw, untreated water.
Prior to the era of Palpatine, the Republic provided financial backing for the establishment of a permanent base at the archeological site of Alpinn. This base was equipped with prefabricated living spaces, wind turbines, and its own desalinization facility.
