{{Quote|The Prison Of The Future&hellip; Today!|Excerpt from pamphlet on the Corporate Sector Authority prison at Stars' End|<ref name="CSS58">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 58</ref>}}
'''Stars' End''' was a [[Corporate Sector Authority/Legends|Corporate Sector Authority]] [[Prison/Legends|prison]], located on [[Mytus VII]], a desolate asteroid in the [[Mytus system]] in [[Wild Space/Legends|Wild Space]]. CSA [[Viceprex/Legends|Viceprex]] [[Mirkovig Hirken]] was in charge of the facility. Stars' End was notable for its advanced defense system, including a shell of [[molecularly bonded armor]]. In [[2 BBY/Legends|2 BBY]], the facility was crippled when [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] led a team of infiltrators on a rescue mission. However, reports indicate that the prison was restored to functionality shortly thereafter.

==Description==
===Layout and Design===
[[File:StarsEnd-EGWT.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A schematic of Stars' End]]
The core of Stars' End was a 40-story tower which could hold thousands of criminals and political dissidents stored in [[stasis booth]]s. The subterranean levels were taken up by an enormous [[Power generator/Legends|power generator]] that provided energy for the whole installation. For it to power the stasis cells and the defensive systems, the [[overload shield]]ing had to be reduced.<ref name="CSS58" /> The power output of the generator was to that of a [[Fortress/Legends|fortress]] or a [[Capital ship/Legends|capital ship]].<ref name="SE9">''[[Han Solo at Stars' End]]'', chapter 9</ref> The lower levels, on ground level and above, had administrative facilities, airlocks,<ref name="EGtWT">''[[The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology]]'', p. 166-167</ref> and a service-center with light-wells at the center.<ref name="SE8">''[[Han Solo at Stars' End]]'', chapter 8</ref>

Above came the main section of the tower with forty levels of detention cells.<ref name="EGtWT" /> Each level had the height of three regular levels with industrial-grade energy power supply.<ref name="SE9" /> The thousands of stasis tubes could easily be accessed by catwalks and walkways. Computer stations allowed quick access to system, maintenance, and repair parameters. The prisoner's life signs were constantly monitored from the administrative levels.<ref name="CSS56">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 56</ref>

This part also included additional docking facilities at the base and midpoint and numerous [[anticoncussion field]] generators. The top levels included medical facilities for the prisoners and interrogation rooms as well as an orbital [[Skyhook/Legends|skyhook]] for docking with larger [[Lictor-class dungeon ship|''Lictor''-class dungeon ships]]. At the personal insistence of [[Viceprex/Legends|Viceprex]] Hirken, a luxurious residence was added to the top of the tower.<ref name="CSS56" /><ref name="CSS57">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 57</ref> This residence included an armored amphitheater for [[Gladiator droid/Legends|gladiator droid]] combat, a [[Transparisteel/Legends|transparent]] armored dome, and landscaped [[Garden/Legends|gardens]], which contained miniature [[sun-globe]]s and flora and fauna from many different [[Planet/Legends|planets]].<ref name="SE8" />

Additional surface and underground facilities on the planet were planned, but were still under construction when the tower was destroyed. They included a full-service [[Spaceport/Legends|spaceport]] and landing fields. Maintenance facilities were located underground, connected with the starport via [[Repulsorlift/Legends|repulsor]] [[lift]]s. The hangars could handle ships of up to 300 [[Imperial standard meter|meters]] length with short-range [[Shuttle/Legends|shuttles]] servicing larger ships.<ref name="CSS56" /> Other facilities were [[Hydroponics/Legends|hydroponic farms]]<ref name="SE8" /> along with housing and medical facilities for maintenance and technical personnel, [[Security Police]] enforcers, guards, and executives. Command stations for [[Sensor/Legends|sensors]] and defense were also located underground, directly at the corresponding installations. All facilities of Stars' End were connected by a complete [[monorail]] network, which also allowed a direct and quick transfer of prisoners directly to the starport to the tower.<ref name="CSS56" />

Stars' End featured a custom [[Sensor/Legends|sensor]] and [[Comm unit/Legends|communication array]] specifically built for this installation. An additional network of extra-[[Star system/Legends|system]] [[Sensor array/Legends|sensor satellites]] allowed detection of incoming [[Starship/Legends|starships]] almost a system's diameter away. The [[subspace]] transceiver included powerful booster to allow subspace radio communication for over 100 [[Light-year/Legends|light-years]]. Long-range [[hyperchannel relay]]s allowed instantaneous [[Hologram/Legends|holographic]] communication with the rest of the [[Galaxy/Legends|galaxy]] and featured the most sophisticated encryption protocols available.<ref name="CSS56" />

While more permanent buildings were being built, temporary hangars, dormitories, and storage facilities, made from [[bi-state memory plastic]], connected by mobile clear tunnel-tubes and docking bays, served as home for workers and personnel.<ref name="SE8" /><ref name="CSS54">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 54</ref>

===Capacities===
[[File:StarsEnd_top.png|thumb|right|250px|The final layout.]]
Stars' End used a unique system to lock away its prisoners. Instead of normal cells, prisoners were locked in [[Entropy field/Legends|entropy field]] [[stasis booth]]s. This would prevent riots, violence, and similar disturbances, like gangs, and cut down on food costs. That and large amounts of computerization and automation would also allow staff to be cut to a minimum&mdash;only a few dozen people were necessary to operate and maintain the facility.<ref name="CSS52">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 52</ref><ref name="CSS54" /> The prisoners could be reanimated and interrogated at any given time. The finished state of the main body of the tower could hold up to 24,000 prisoners.<ref name="CSS56" /><ref name="CSS57" />

Hangar facilities on the ground could service ships up 300 meters in length. Also, it housed smaller and larger defensive craft, extra-system [[Shuttle/Legends|shuttles]], and [[Light freighter/Legends|light freighters]].<ref name="CSS56" /> Additional docking facilities were at the base and midpoint of the tower. An orbital skyhook allowed the docking of larger [[dungeon ship]]s.<ref name="CSS57" />

===Defenses===
Stars' End had formidable defenses, primarily a uniform layer of molecularly bonded armor that coated the entire tower. This dense metal armor was extremely expensive, but nearly indestructible; it could withstand sustained fire from a Star Destroyer's turbolasers.<ref name="EGtWT" /> Additional strength was provided by an anticoncussion field, powered by a powerful [[Rampart-class anticoncussion generator|''Rampart''-class anticoncussion generator]]. Numerous projectors, honeycombed into the entire interior of the prison, created a unified field that would absorb blasts and impacts.<ref name="EGtWT" />

The facility's stationary defenses consisted of six [[Taim & Bak/Legends|Taim & Bak]] [[QuasarFire Turbolaser Turret]]s, as well as a [[Kuat Drive Yards/Legends|Kuat Drive Yards]] [[v-180 Planet Defender]] [[ion cannon]] with its own power generator.<ref name="CSS56" /> Protection was provided by heavy-duty [[Deflector shield/Legends|deflector shields]].<ref name="CSS57" /> There was one deflector shield for the whole facility as well as one for each side of the tower.<ref name="SE9" />

The hangar facilities supported defensive assault craft of smaller and larger sizes,<ref name="CSS56" /> including as least one [[Marauder-class corvette|''Marauder''-class corvette]].<ref name="CSS94">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 94</ref>

The final defense of Stars' End was its isolation and secrecy. Construction personnel were placed in drug-induced comas before being taken to Stars' End. The base was going to be officially designated a small scientific outpost, dedicated to astronomical observation of the galaxy.<ref name="CSS54" /> [[Cleartext]] messages were sent to uphold the image of a regular outpost.<ref name="SE8" />

==History==
===Conception===
[[File:StarsEndPrison.svg|thumb|right|150px|Stars' End Prison Insignia]]
In the early years of the [[Corporate Sector/Legends|Corporate Sector]], criminals were mostly issued a fine, sent to a labor colony, or just [[Death/Legends|executed]] on the spot. However, as these methods didn't cause a drop in crime rates, the Authority created the [[Detention Taskforce]]. After several years of study, the Taskforce came up with the concept of Stars' End.<ref name="CSS5051">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 50-51</ref> The studies found that conventional [[Prison/Legends|penal colonies]] were prone to breakouts, riots, and violence, which would increase costs. The study also found that the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] would have an increasing demand of correctional facilities under its current policies. It was thus decided to construct a model facility with maximum of efficiency and minimum of cost. If successfully promoted to the Empire, the whole design would be immensely profitable.<ref name="CSS52" />

The final touches to the design were made in personal correspondence between Assistant-Deputy Viceprex of Security [[Ilm Vaz-Weplinn]] of the [[Corporate Sector Authority/Legends|Corporate Sector Authority]] and [[Lord/Legends|Lady]] [[Chawkroft]] of the [[Imperial Corrections Service]].<ref name="CSS5253">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 52-53</ref> The Corporate sector hoped to sell the concept to the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]], and it was scheduled the the [[Emperor/Legends|Emperor]] should inspect the installation after it had been operational for one [[Galactic Standard Calendar|standard year]].<ref name="CSS54" /> It was during this time that the marketing department came up with the name "Stars' End" and that the whole project control was transferred over to Viceprex [[Mirkovig Hirken]].<ref name="CSS5253" />

After the plan had been approved by the Viceprex, [[Scout/Legends|scouts]] looked for a suitable location. They found it in the remote [[Mytus system]] near the edge of the [[Galaxy/Legends|galaxy]]. The planetoid [[Mytus VII]] was chosen as the final construction site.<ref name="CSS54" />

===Construction===
[[File:StarsEnd_Arena.png|thumb|left|150px|The top levels.]]
One of the key aspects of the Stars' End project was its secrecy. To provide this, several extreme measure were taken. The [[Security Division Executive Viceprex]] went directly to the [[Prex]] to secure funding. To keep the interest of the [[Executive Directorship Board|Direx Board]] and the [[Auditor-General]] away, the money was taken from several different construction and correctional projects as well as illegally skimmed from other dealings through shady bookkeeping.<ref name="CSS54" />

The coordinates were among the most closely guarded secrets within the Corporate Sector. All construction efforts were overseen by Viceprex Hirken who had transferred to Stars' End. [[EVS Construction Droid|Construction droids]] had their memories regularly wiped and workers were placed in a drug-induced coma during their travel. Components were ordered from several different companies and facilities. The [[Transport/Legends|transports]] never traveled directly to the Mytus system, but made several jumps to prevent tracking. Most of the transport ships were automated [[Drone barge/Legends|drone barges]] and the few manned ships had their [[Hyperdrive/Legends|hyperdrives]] sealed, allowing the crew only control over the [[sublight drive]]s.<ref name="CSS54" />

The main focus of the construction was the main spire and its [[Power generator/Legends|power plant]]. With these pieces completed, efforts were moved to the subterranean facilities, but the general pace slowed down. For the time being, workers lived in a temporary sealed bi-state memory plastic building linked by [[tunnel-tube]]s and [[Tunnel-tube junction station|mobile junction stations]].<ref name="CSS54" /><ref name="SE8" /> As Hirken saw Stars' End as his personal prestige project, he had the plans altered to include a private administration and living area on top of the spire, which also included an armored amphitheater for [[Gladiator/Legends|gladiator]] fights between droids.<ref name="EGtWT" /> As soon as these quarters were completed, he and his wife [[Neera Opatajji-Hirken|Nerra]] moved in.<ref name="CSS62">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 62</ref> Also, Hirken had a [[Master Command Unit]] installed with which he could control the entire facility. This small unit could be worn as a belt by the Viceprex.<ref name="SE9" />

Once Stars' End was opened, it was officially recognized as a CSA base, but classified as a scientific outpost for [[extra-galactic]] observation. Since the staff numbers were small and the stasis-stored prisoners consumed hardly any supplies, the deception went unnoticed.<ref name="CSS54" />

===Operation and destruction===
[[File:StarsEnd_Galaxy.png|thumb|left|250px|Stars' End at the edge of the [[Galaxy/Legends|galaxy]].]]
{{Main|Liberation of Stars' End}}
Hirken was so convinced that the project would be a success that he activated Stars' End months before completion. The first occupants came from a list compiled by Hirken and the [[Security Police]], which included revolutionaries and criminals, as well as personal rivals. All were rounded up by Espos, interrogated, drugged, and shipped to Stars' End.<ref name="CSS54" /><ref name="CSS58" /> As the Mytus system was not within the borders of the Corporate Sector, the authorities could truthfully claim the prisoner was not detained within the sector.<ref name="Atlas167">''[[The Essential Atlas]]'', p. 167</ref>

With many persons disappearing, it did not take long before people started to ask questions. One of these persons was [[Rekkon]], a docent at the [[University of Kalla]] on [[Kalla VII]]. His nephew [[Tchaka]], who was a student at the university, began criticizing the politics of the [[Corporate Sector/Legends|Corporate Sector]] and began mobilizing other students. Naturally, he was arrested by the [[Security Police]] and was brought to Stars' End. His uncle began his own investigation and soon recognized the pattern of events. He carefully gathered a group of people around who had also lost relatives. These included [[Torm Dadeferron]], [[Atuarre]], her son [[Pakka]], [[Engret]], and two others.<ref name="SE5">''[[Han Solo at Stars' End]]'', chapter 5</ref>

In [[2 BBY/Legends|2 BBY]], they were aided by [[Outlaw tech/Legends|outlaw tech]] [[Jessa Vandangante]], whose father had also vanished. She provided the group with the means to infiltrate [[Authority Data Center]]s and search for clues. The last operation on the [[Agriworld/Legends|agriworld]] of [[Orron III]] included she, [[BLX-5|Bollux]], and [[Blue Max]]; both modified [[BLX labor droid|BLX]] and [[B2-X Computer Interface Unit|B2-X]] droids respectively. She also sent [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] and [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]] to the group as a means of transportation, by hiding the [[Millennium Falcon/Legends|''Millennium Falcon'']] inside a [[Drone barge/Legends|drone barge]]. Solo and Chewbacca had agreed to aid Jessa as part of a deal for new upgrades and [[transponder code]]s for their ship.<ref name="SE3">''[[Han Solo at Stars' End]]'', chapter 3</ref>

Unknown to the group, Torm Dadeferron, Rekkon's second in command, worked undercover for the Security Police.<ref name="SE7">''[[Han Solo at Stars' End]]'', chapter 7</ref> He had already eliminated two members of the group and on Orron III, he delivered Engret beforehand and tried to set up a trap at the Data Center.<ref name="SE6">''[[Han Solo at Stars' End]]'', chapter 6</ref> However, due to the aid of [[Captain/Legends|Captain]] Solo, all of the group managed to escape except [[First Mate/Legends|First Mate]] Chewbacca, and he was subsequently brought to Stars' End. With Rekkon on the verge of finding the location of Stars' End, Torm shot the old man during the escape on the ''Falcon''. However, Rekkon managed to leave a message to Han Solo with his last breath which revealed the location of the prison: [[Mytus VII]]. With all the remaining members of the group trapped on the ''Falcon'' in [[Hyperspace/Legends|hyperspace]], Solo managed to identify Torm as the traitor and killed him shortly afterwards.<ref name="SE7" />

[[File:StarsEnd_Lib.png|thumb|right|250px|Liberation of Stars' End.]]
The group arrived at the [[Mytus system]] and began observing Stars' End from a captured [[Asteroid/Legends|asteroid]], waiting for the right moment. This moment arrived when they intercepted a message from the [[Imperial Entertainers' Guild]], in which [[Secretary in charge of scheduling|Secretary]] [[Hokkor Long]] informed [[Viceprex/Legends|Viceprex]] Hirken that his requested troupe could not make it to Stars' End. As the message also mentioned a non-specific replacement troupe, Solo decided that their group should take up this role.<ref name="SE8" />

The ruse worked and allowed the "[[Madame Atuarre's Roving Performers]]" to dock with the prison, where they were brought to the top of the tower to perform for Hirken and his wife. While Atuarre and Pakka distracted the Viceprex, Solo, together with Blue Max, infiltrated the levels below.<ref name="SE8" /> Here they found out the secret of Stars' End in its method of locking up the prisoners. Additionally with the knowledge of Hirken's master control unit, Solo initiated a feedback by redirecting the energy flow from the upper deflector shield back into the main reactor.<ref name="SE9" />

Meanwhile on the top levels, Hirken was tired of being stalled and finally expected to see his [[Mark X Executioner]] in battle against the group's own android, Bollux. Solo returned at the insistence of Blue Max, while Pakka and Atuarre returned to the ''Falcon''. Despite the odds, Bollux and Blue Max defeated the Mark-X, which threw Hirken in a paranoid rage. Captured, Solo had to duel against Hirken's bodyguard, [[Uul-Rha-Shan]], who had been suspicious of the group from the beginning. In the arena, Solo managed to dodge the gunslinger's shot, which instead hit one of the master control unit's support circuits in the wall. The resulting chain reaction caused the main generator to explode and launch the spire into the air.<ref name="SE9" />

Auxiliary energy, artificial gravity, and the anti-concusion fields kept everyone alive, but the stasis booths began to shut down, releasing the prisoners in large groups. The prisoners quickly overwhelmed the few guards and began organizing under the leadership of Solo, who had been reunited with Chewbacca and [[Klaus Vandangante/Legends|Klaus Vandangante]]. However, the detonation had not been strong enough for the structure to reach a stable orbit and was now plummeting back to the surface of Mytus VII. Additionally, the escaped prisoners were slowly pushed back from Hirken and his guards from the upper levels and from Espos from the lower levels who had arrived from the guarding ''Marauder''-class corvette, which had docked at the lower airlocks.<ref name="SE10">''[[Han Solo at Stars' End]]'', chapter 10</ref>

Atuarre and Pakka, who had managed to reach the ''Falcon'', had taken a tunnel-tube junction station with them, destroyed the remaining landed guardships, and docked at the opposing the lower airlock. Both of them reached the prisoners just in time before Solo was about to order a suicide charge.<ref name="SE10" /> Using the docking tube, Chewbacca led a group of prisoners around the spire to the aft airlock of the corvette. By the orders of Hirken, almost the entire crew had left the ship on the rescue mission, leaving only a skeleton crew behind, which was quickly eliminated. Once the ship was commandeered, Chewbacca removed it from the airlock to prevent recapture.<ref name="SE11">''[[Han Solo at Stars' End]]'', chapter 11</ref>

As energy circuits began to explode, Stars' End was in its final stage of descent. Most of the prisoners had been evacuated, but many had also been killed by the advancing guards. Retreating to the airlock, Solo once again faced Uul-Rha-Shann, but this time the [[Corellian/Legends|Corellian]] killed the [[Alien/Legends|Non-Human]], although Bollux was severely damaged by saving Solo's life. As Solo was about to enter the ''Falcon'', Hirken approach the smuggler, alone, begging the smuggler to take him with him. But before the Viceprex could finish, he was shot in the back by his wife. Solo ignored the woman and the approaching Espos and escaped from the doomed facility, moments before it crashed into the surface of Mytus VII. The escaped prisoners soon found refuge on [[Urdur/Legends|Urdur]], where Jessa Vandangante had set up her outlaw tech shop.<ref name="SE11" />

===Later years===
[[File:Genue.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Rescue from Stars' End]]]]
The tower of Stars' End, however, had survived the fall.<ref name="long">Three sources say that Stars' End could have survived its fall back to the surface. [[The Essential Chronology (real-world book)|''The Essential Chronology'']] states that "According to unconfirmed reports, the CSA salvaged the molecularly bonded structure and erected it on a different world." In ''[[Underworld Appendix: Swoops, Spice, and Wretched Rogues]]'', [[BoShek/Legends|BoShek]] states in an interview that "Stars' End's molecularly-bonded armor meant the CSA could just stand it up again." Finally, [[Ilm Vaz-Weplinn]] stated in a letter that "the anticoncussion field was sufficient to protect most of the hardware. Whole levels remain virtually intact." (Although he also claimed that the reactor's detonation was an accident, not a jailbreak.) One source, however, contradicts these statements: ''[[The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons]]'' states that when the facility hit the ground, it "imploded with a flash of white light."</ref> Ilm Waz-Welplinn, one of the original planners of the Stars' End project, succeeded Hirken in his post as [[Viceprex of Security]] and declared the whole incident a "freak accident". Salvage crews began to search the impact area, but found no survivors; instead, whole levels still in one piece, protected by the armor and the anti-concussion fields. Waz-Welplinn also kept up contact with the Empire, seeing Stars' End as a project with future potential.<ref name="CSS60">''[[Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook]]'', p. 60</ref>

Stars' End remained a prison facility, now housing not only Corporate Sector prisoners alone. Several [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel]] prisoners, among them [[Samuel Raider]] and [[Toalagar]], managed to escape from the prison mere months after its initial destruction aboard the [[BFF-1 bulk freighter/Legends|BFF-1 bulk freighter]] ''[[Genue]]'' and head to [[Kashyyyk/Legends|Kashyyyk]] where they were [[Rescue from Stars' End|retrieved]] by a Rebel team shortly before they could be recaptured by [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] forces. The escapees had been hearing rumors for months of a new Imperial [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|weapon]] but had been unable to get close to anybody who knew more. However, they were able to learn that [[Wookiee/Legends|Wookiee]] slaves were being sent to work on the project and, after their escape, helped the Rebels to rescue some of the slaves.<ref name="XW">''[[Star Wars: X-Wing]]'', Tour of Duty II, Mission 1</ref>

Stars' End also was no longer a secret. The ''[[Ballad of Stars' End]]'' was a popular song in [[Cantina/Legends|cantinas]] during the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]].<ref name="AJ7251">{{Journal|7|Passages}}, p. 251</ref> The rumors that the CSA was able to restore Stars' End and put it back into operation soured relations between the CSA and the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] in later years.<ref name="NEC">''[[The New Essential Chronology]]''</ref>
