Information
The XQ5 Platform was designed by the Telgorn Corporation as a replacement for the XQ2 Platform. It had larger cargo bays and a larger upper docking bay on the central structure.
Many were used as simple stations and outposts by various organizations. The Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance and a number of businesses used the platforms for research and development, command posts, and customs stations. This diversity of usage made it a popular choice for a light space installation.
History
The XQ5 Platform was acquired by Clan Taldryan after the Seventh Great Jedi War. With the Iron Throne secure and an expanded Dark Council waiting for direction, the Grand Master started his renewed tenure by commissioning the reconstruction of the Dark Hall. He also commissioned Dark Council Embassies to be built in each clan system. The Grand Master announced to the Consuls that the Dark Council would place in each system a Platform to be used by visiting Dark Council representatives, but to be run and controlled by each Clan. Taldryan took advantage of the opportunity and positioned the platform orbiting their home world, Karufr. Designated as Citadel Alpha, the facility is used by the Clan for business transactions and as a short-range defense platform.
