| The security of the skyhook, or simply ''Marakith'' as it was known to the members, was essential to the [[House]]s and [[Naga Sadow|Clan]]. The official reason for the high security is that it contained many of the senior executives of the [[Dlarit Corporation]] and is for their safety. In fact, it was to conceal the presence and nature of the clan from the general population. Though members of the Clan do visit the public areas of ''Marakith'', the wearing of robes or the carrying of lightsabers in these areas was forbidden for obvious reasons.

| It was rumoured has it that if necessary ''Marakith'' can leave the atmosphere in an emergency and has basic hyperspace capability.

| Following the theft of the Skyhook by unknown force users it appears the rumors of its hyperspace capabilities were correct.
