This version of the Wheel has three sections: the posh Upper Ring, the middling Middle Ring, and the seedy Lower Ring. Within the show the space station serves as the home of the Freemakers, a scavenging family who run a starship repair business called Freemaker Salvage and Repair. A version of the Wheel later appeared in Bob Roth and Bill Motz's non- canon 2016– 2017 animated series LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures. It made appearances in other Legends works such as Star Wars: Republic and Star Wars: Legacy. The Wheel first appeared in the 1978 Marvel Star Wars comic Star Wars (1977) 18, part of the Star Wars Legends continuity. Īfter being rejected by the Grand Hutt Council and the Bounty Hunters' Guild for a possible alliance against the Galactic Empire, the Alliance to Restore the Republic considered allying itself with the Mining Guild, and had an investigation on a Mining Guild operation on the Wheel. īy 10 BBY, Ephant Mon successfully conducted an arms deal with the Pyke Syndicate representative on the station. Despite that, the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker did board the station incognito at one point, in an effort to locate Grynask Sanberge, leader of the Nova Crime Syndicate. Therefore, the Jedi Order had promised to stay away from the Wheel. At the time, there was an uneasy truce between the Republic and the station's Baron Administrator, Jaspara. The Wheel existed as early as the waning years of the Galactic Republic. " They operate out of space station BDT-0978 in the Besh Gorgon system." ― Jocasta Nu
