The space station Sanctuary is the main orbital defense platform under construction above New Tython. It is a Cardan I-class space station.

Construction

With the Invasion of New Tython now over, Grand Master Darth Ashen has ordered the construction of a space station in orbit of the planet. Ostensibly, this has been provided to facilitate with Brotherhood occupation of the planet, and to help enforce Brotherhood dominion of the surrounding space. It is also expected to boost the local economy, by employing a large number of the population, providing an orbital spaceport hub, and ensuring the security of the planet against pirates and raiders.

However, the space station itself is a Cardan I-class space station, and while it can hold its own against a small fleet of fighters and corvettes, it is too weak to serve as a serious defensive measure for the planet.

The space station requires a medium sized crew of 1200 people, who are almost exclusively New Tythonian settlers and Jedi, and it employs 2000 people who live and work to a rotating roster in order to allow everyone some time back home.

The station also has a capacity of 300 visitors, minus a small allotment for the spouses of its near permanent crew, who live on the space station most of the year due to their crucial positions.

Part of this crew allotment also included a small, temporary team of trainers from the Shadow Academy, who were commissioned by Headmaster Taigikori Aybara Dupar to ensure the New Tythonian settlers learnt how to maintain and repair the space station, as many of New Tython's own engineers were not accustomed to working with orbital platforms.

The construction of the space station was supervised by Clan Arcona, who ensured it was ready in time for a ceremonial visit by the Seneschal, Orv Dessrx d'Tana, to officially commission the space station to operational status.

The space station is defended by its standard armaments of 2 light turbolaser batteries and 2 point defense light ion cannon batteries. In addition, Odan-Urr's squadron of Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptors were based on the space station, and during construction Clan Arcona left the Nebula-class Star Destroyer Invicta, its flagship during the Invasion, at New Tython to "support construction and ensure security".

Today

Following the Return of the Light, the space station has been repaired and once again oversees security for New Tython. Having lost its starfighters in the invasion of Cy Thuron, the space station relies heavily on its turbolaser defenses and when not on other missions, the Nebula-class Star Destroyer Fey'lya's Last Stand is never far from home.
