Legend

an Alderaan Royal Engineers Esseles-class space station located in orbit around Kalarba, it was built across the surface of Kalarba's largest moon, Hosk. The station was originally designed to be an Old Republic supply and maintenance post, a role which it served for thousands of years. The expansion of the galaxy brought more and more colonists to the surrounding systems, and suddenly Hosk Station was no longer as important as it used to be. The station was sold to civilian interests on the planet Kalarba. The station was nearly destroyed by Olag Greck when a droid barge delivered C-3PO, R2-D2, and IG-88 to the station. C-3PO and R2-D2 had been put up for auction by their previous owner, Master Wena, and were being shipped to Hosk for assignment. IG-88 escaped, and C-3PO and R2-D2 were jettisoned to the planet Kalarba, where they were acquired by the Pitareeze family. C-3PO and R2-D2 returned to the station with Nak and his grandfather, and were left to join a group of renegade droids who were ready to rebel against Olag Greck's war droids and their control over them. Under the careful command of Unit Zed, the droids were able to defeat Greck's various war droids and foil Greck's attempt to steal a load of ash ore. In the process, they also were able to reroute an explosion rigged by Greck to blow up the stations' power core. Many years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy Hosk Station was destroyed shortly after the Battle of Fondor, as the Vong attempted to eliminate all non-organic technologies.
