When the technologically-advanced Sluissi species joined the infantile Galactic Republic, they established several major shipyards throughout the Sluis sector. Once such space station was the high-tech Sluis Van Central space station. The station, also referred to as the Sluis Van space facility, performed duties similar to others operated by the Sluissi. It catered to starship pilots seeking maintenance to prepare for, or recover from, their various activities.
