Stars' End, a planet-based tower, functioned as a prison operated by the Authority of the Corporate Sector. From at least the time of the High Republic Era all the way to the First Order-Resistance War, the phrase "Stars' End" was frequently used as an exclamation. During the Imperial Era, Stars' End met its end when a Corellian criminal detonated it, launching it into orbit to liberate a Wookiee. The labor droid Bollux suggested that this Corellian might have been Han Solo, and the Wookiee, Chewbacca.
