Legend

a space station once located in the Besberra System, Zirtran's Anchor was originally known simply as KV-29233-44B when it was purchased by Urbo and Teebo Zirtran. The brothers tried to fix up the station, but they got heavily into debt during the refurbishment. They had resolved to abandon the hulk when a group of Geelan offered to purchase it. The brothers agreed to the sale, and left with a meager profit after paying off their debts. The Geelan renamed the station in honor of the brothers. Shortly after the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the New Order, Zirtran's Anchor suddenly disappeared. It later reappeared, empty and abandoned, near the Phosphura Belt Nebula, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. The Anchor was actually a series of old starship hulls welded together to form modular living areas. It was protected by a Golan battle station, and was divided into four primary regions, designated Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Epsilon. Alpha region was the core of the station, and houses most of its starship docks. Within its confines, bounty hunters lived side-by-side with the Phosphura Belt Pirates and the mysterious Kalai race.
