The Mure system, historically known as the Mure, was an artificially created star system suspended some 15,750 light years above Galactic Center. It possessed a single F-type main-sequence star, Mure Prime, a single terrestrial world, Mure, and a pair of matched asteroid fields at Mure's L4 and L5 Lagrangian points, the Twins.
Description
The Mure system was historically one of the most highly-fortified star systems in galactic history, in large part due to its strategic importance during the early days of the first major galactic war, the Celestial-Rakata War. As a Celestial stronghold overlooking the Mortis Line—a hyperspace barrier created to keep the Rakata contained to the Unknown Regions[1]—the Mure system's fortress world of Mure and the defensive emplacements hidden throughout the Twins successfully empowered the Celestials and their client species to repulse several concerted Infinite Empire invasion efforts aimed at circumventing the Mortis Line by way of the system.
With their eventual conquest of the system in 34,129 BBY, the Rakata expanded upon the system's Celestial defenses due to the system's importance to the Infinite Empire as its central trade node and waystation for ships traversing the Mure-Lehon Bypass. The Twins' defensive emplacements were further reinforced with shipyards and foundries aimed at increasing the system's garrison in preparation for a slave revolt or foreign attack. Though many of these asteroid bases were abandoned after the fall of the Empire in 25,200 BBY,[2][3] they were subsequently restored by the Murese Second Predorate after 4987 BBY.
