Legend

this space station, known as Droid World, was manufactured by Kligson as a refuge for droids and automata during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Considered something of a myth and legend, the station actually did exist, although Kligson moved it around in order to avoid detection. Measuring 800 meters in length, Kligson's Moon was built from starship hulls, drive engines, and space station modules, and was populated entirely by droids. No organic life was allowed onboard, and even Kligons himself was more droid than man. Kligson's Moon was crewed by 1,000 droids, with another twenty droids serving as weapons operators. Kligson's Moon was armed with thirty turbolaser batteries and five tractor beam generators. Shortly after the Battle of Hoth, Kligson took his space station and fled into space, after his chief of security, a droid known as Z-X3, turned out to be plotting a mutiny. Fearing an Imperial attack, Kligson simply chose to hide again. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Kligons's Moon found itself under attack by the alien invaders. Only the timely intervention of the surviving members of the Iron Knights saved the world from subjugation.
