Meerian Star Stadium

The Meerian Star Stadium was a civilian space station that orbited the mining world of Bandomeer. During the Clone Wars, it was seized by Republic forces and was temporarily made into a military checkpoint for spacers passing throughout the system. Later, the Star Stadium returned to its private owners and it became a popular site of bolo-ball games between teams from all over the known galaxy. Apart from it's value in sports, the Star Stadium also served as an orbital hotel as well as a starport where some spacers, typically pirates and smugglers, went to refuel, resupply, and rest. In 3 ABY, a pirate collective known as the Blaster Brethren stormed the Star Stadium, defeated the station's security guards, and breached the station's vaults. In the vaults were millions of credits, among other physical currencies, as well as various other goods and gifts. The Star Stadium's staff contacted a nearby Imperial patrol, but by the time their patrol crafts arrived the Brethren were already en route to another target.
