Shelter

Shelter was a space station located in the Maw. It was owned by Lando Calrissian, and was a part of the Great River network during the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was built from the remains of a previous top secret Imperial weapons facility, the infamous Maw Installation. It consisted of an asteroid with a living module, power core, and a rudimentary defense system attached to it.

When the Academy on Yavin 4 was attacked by the Peace Brigade in 26 ABY, Shelter became a temporary praxeum for the younglings under the care of Tionne and Kam Solusar.

A newly born Ben Skywalker was also sent to the Maw while his parents, Mara Jade Skywalker and Luke Skywalker were on Coruscant investigating an Imperial Dark Jedi experiment.

Years after the Yuuzhan Vong War and shortly after the death of Darth Caedus, Jedi Knights began to be infected by a strange mental illness. Among those who were infected were the two children of Corran Horn, Valin and Jysella Horn. After studying the victims, Cilghal began to speculate that it was only affecting those that were at Shelter during the Yuuzhan Vong War, and that Tionne and Kam Solusar were not affected because they were deeply in tune to the Force. Ben Skywalker was most likely not affected because he withdrew from the Force after feeling the deaths of many people.
