A pirate asteroid base.
Bases within asteroids, known as asteroid bases, were space stations constructed inside asteroids. These bases were utilized by a diverse array of entities, spanning from pirates and smugglers to legitimate commercial enterprises, and even scientific organizations. Some individuals also used them privately; for example, Void Station served as a personal sanctuary for the Bothan, Jib Kopatha. Furthermore, certain facilities were converted into bases, such as the Asteroid Hangars that Byblos Drive Yards developed, which were initially mining sites.
Black Sun, a criminal syndicate, possessed multiple asteroid bases. The Galactic Empire, throughout its various iterations, also maintained asteroid bases, including the Cairn Installation, which the Empire Reborn employed, and To-phalion Base and Falken's Lab, both developed by Byblos Drive Yards and used by the Galactic Empire prior to the Battle of Endor. The Rebel Alliance also controlled some asteroid bases, including one located within the Kashyyyk system. Additionally, StarForge Station functioned as a refuge for various galactic outlaws. Station Gamma, previously a research facility owned by the Car'das smugglers, was repurposed by the Rak'qua tribe as a stronghold. Vergesso Base served as a shadowport for the Rebel Alliance, although the Tenloss Syndicate formally owned it. The resort known as The Edge of the Galaxy incorporated an asteroid installation.
