Affiliation: First Order
Population: 5,000
Defenses: Point-defense quad lasers, ion cannons, deflector shields
Description: The Sump Hypermatter Terminal features some docking clamps for maintenance craft such as tugs or other maintenance craft. But most importantly is the station's ability to process vast amounts of hypermatter: several million tons of hypermatter a day can be offloaded to tankers using the station's three main hypermatter terminals, whose facilities can also be subdivided to service multiple smaller ships at once by virtue of featuring several hypermatter pumps attached to each reservoir. The crew of 5,000 live on smaller saucers along the sides of the main hypermatter reservoirs. However the accommodations are a little cramped as it is not meant to be a long-term living location for the staff. It only features basic point-defense in an attempt to reduce maintenance and costs.
History: The Sump Hypermatter Terminal was built in response to complaints from Sump orbital hypermatter producers that insufficient throughput capacity was hurting them. In response to the First Order Economic Summit, held on Bespin, it was decided to build the station in orbit over Sump to alleviate their concerns and make the First Order hypermatter distribution circuits more efficient. It is also the location of the first known deployment of the Megaproject Hypermatter Terminal-class. Now the Nuknogs on Sump are economically appeased.
Intent: To provide Sump with an hypermatter terminal
