Esseles-class Space Station
designed and manufactured by Alderaan Royal Engineers, this ancient design was built to surround an existing moon and use it as the basis for the space station. One pole was used to house much of the station's docking facilities, control towers, and communications systems. City sprawls, much like those on the later Death Star battle station, were spread across the surface of the moon, linked by various tranport tubes. Specialized venting systems bleed power generated from the interior of the station to the surface.
