Legend

this space station, jointly developed by the worlds of Junction 5, Delaluna, Bezim, and Vicondor, served as a major nexus to the Mid Rim, during the years leading up to the Battle of Geonosis and the onset of the Clone Wars. It was coveted by the Separatist forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, since the station provided access to the Mid Rim. Whichever side controlled the station would cut off a large portion of the galaxy from the enemy. Lorian Nod, who had always shown a hatred for the Jedi Knights, showed up at the Jedi Temple just after the Battle of Geonosis and offered to help ensure that Station 88 Spaceport would remain an asset of the Republic. Despite the efforts of Count Dooku to persuade the founders, first using negotiation and then force, the founders chose to remain loyal to the Republic.
