Vulture Station

Orbiting the planet Vindex, Vulture Station was built in the aftermath of the Clone Wars by joining two wrecked Star Destroyers end-to-end, hollowing them out, and constructing habitat modules inside them. Initially quite small, the station has flourished as scavengers and looters were drawn to the salvage opportunities on the surface and orbit of Vindex.

Although theoretically subordinate to the Empire, Vulture Station is famous as a haven for smugglers, pirates, arms dealers and others who are keen to avoid legal scrutiny. Despite this, visiting Imperial Navy ships are always generously accommodated. It is rumoured that Imperial authorities may be receiving money from the station's owners to turn a blind eye to weapons smuggling. Captain Vladis and his Star Destroyer the Persecutor are a particularly common sight.

Since it sits in a field of orbital debris, Vulture Station is quite hard to approach. Paths are regularly cleared through the debris, but the wrecked ships are constantly fragmenting or drifting free, and there is always business to be had junk-hauling wreckage for independent spacers whose ships have tractor beams or electromagnetic grapples.

Currently the station is controlled by the droid 4-10-BRS. It is rumoured that he is the front man for some mysterious criminal syndicate. The droid is a common sight on the station, flanked by his two Wookie bodyguards.

The station's most popular social hub is the Fat Rancor, owned by 4-10-BRS.
