Poluon

Poluon is a term used in the context of the Star Wars universe, specifically within the Expanded Universe. It refers to a type of space station or outpost that serves as a hub for various activities, including trade, commerce, and interstellar travel. Poluons are often established by powerful factions or corporations and are designed to be self-sustaining, providing essential services and amenities to passing vessels.

These space stations typically feature a variety of facilities, such as docking bays, repair shops, cantinas, and markets. They serve as important waypoints for travelers, allowing them to resupply, refuel, and restock their ships. Poluons can also be strategic locations, offering valuable resources or serving as bases for military operations.

The concept of poluons was popularized by the Star Wars Expanded Universe, particularly through novels and comics. They have become a staple in the Star Wars lore, contributing to the rich tapestry of the galaxy's infrastructure and culture. Despite their prevalence in the Expanded Universe, poluons are not canon to the main Star Wars films, and their existence is subject to interpretation within the broader Star Wars universe.
