Mure Prime

"All hyperlanes lead to Lehon...by way of Mure."

- Common Rakata saying from the Pax Rakata

Mure (/'mjuːr/ MEWR)&mdash;formally known as Mure Prime (Sith: Murûwotok) to differentiate it from the encompassing space station of the same name and poetically referred to as the Crossroads Moon&mdash;was an artificially created, moon-sized planetoid, fortress world, and Force nexus in orbit around the North Star that sat suspended directly above Galactic Center at a distance of 15,750 light years. This dwarf planet took its name from the megastructure known as the Mure, a Celestial space station that fully enclosed the planetoid within its ray-shielded truncated icosahedral frame and provided protection against the North Star's intense luminosity and extragalactic stellar radiation ballooning up from the Galactic Center supermassive black hole.

One of the most historically significant worlds of the pre-Republic era, Mure was believed to have been created by the Celestials as a temporary habitation for the Kwa and Killiks involved in the construction and operation of Summit Station, a hyperspace tractor engine of the same class as Centerpoint Station that was used to maintain the position of the North Star black hole above Galactic Center and assemble its accretion disk from disintegrated main-sequence stars. Mure was conquered by the Rakata Infinite Empire during the Celestial-Rakata War and subsequently came to serve as the de facto slavery capital of the Infinite Empire during the Pax Rakata due its centralized position atop the galaxy.

Following the fall of the Empire in 25,200 BBY, the planetoid continued to host a vestigial Rakata diaspora on its surface as one of the worlds of the Rakatan Archipelago.
