Transport Station 5 functioned as an element of the communications and transit network on the planet Taris, prior to its obliteration in 3956 BBY amidst the Destruction of Taris. Its location was in the vicinity of the Promised Land, which was the initial settlement area on Taris. Approximately in 3643 BBY, a person employed by the investigator Hacken Berge journeyed to what was left of Transport Station 5 and discovered holorecordings detailing the past of the Promised Ones, a collection of outcasts that had lived through the bombardment that destroyed Taris.
