While looking up several wiki entries for my next chapters of "The Gas Station", I noticed that the Mimas wiki entry is a little bit empty...
########
The Saturn moon Mimas was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1789. In 1980, nearly two centuries later, a huge crater with nearly ? diameter of the moon was spotted on the surface of Mimas. The Herschel Crater was instantly compared to the Death Star of Star Wars, whichs cinema premier had been just three years earlier.
This made the moon a natural destination for the Warsies.
While the Skywalker Spaceport, the first part of the city of Coruscant, was quickly established, the start of the Boskonian war delayed the plans of the Warsies for their new capital. Flights between the Inner System and Saturn became much more dangerous and most resources were directed to the war effort of the Fenspace Convention.
With the victory at Boskone Prime, long years of planning were finally put into action by the Galactic Republic. In Mid 2014 large groups of Engineers arrived at the Skywalker Spaceport to begin with the construction of a large dome.
Only six month later the first dome was finished and airtight, covering roughly 1% of the craters interior. The Galactic Republic could finally begin working on making Coruscant a proper city and the population of Mimas began to rise quickly.
Work on a complete dome for the Herschel Crater was voted down by the Republics Senate and delayed to 2022, until the Republic had the chance to ‘stored the necessary resources’. Most of these resources have been used for extending Coruscant itself, which will further delay the project.
=== Skywalker Spaceport ===
While Skywalker Spaceport started as a small military base to establish a presence on the Moon, it has been expanded multiple times since 2014. It is the busiest spaceport in the Saturn subsystem, handling all of the intersystem traffic between the growing Coruscant and the rest of Fenspace.
The spaceport houses two of the Galactic Republic's famous fighter squadron, Red squadron and Blue squadron. Together with the a substantial part of the Peacetime Fleet of the Republic, they keep themselves busy by making their neighborhood a safe place.
=== Trivia ===
* With nearly 150 square kilometers, the Coruscant Dome became one of the largest Domes in Fenspace in 2015.
