Rishi Station, a Republic listening post
A facility designed for intercepting communications was what defined a listening post, a place for eavesdropping. During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic operated several of these sites, for example, both Pastil tracking station and Rishi Station. The Confederacy of Independent Systems also had such places, like Skytop Station which was in the atmosphere of a moon orbiting Ruusan, and another facility located on Vanqor.
