Settlement Thirty-Two
one of the many domed cities erected on the surface of the palnet Duro, this synthplas dome served to house refugees who were fleeing the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The dome, like other such refugee cities, was located beneath one of Duro's twenty orbital stations, protected by the planetary shield that contained the station. Thirty-two was constantly at odds with Gateway, as each dome tried to obtain the other's supplies in an escalating struggle to feed its inhabitants. The dome's integrity was destroyed when the Vong infiltrated a mutating insect straing into the settlement, which evolved quickly into a flying bug which had an acidic saliva. The bugs attacked the synthplas dome, melting holes in it. The New Republic barely got the refugees out of the dome before it was holed.
