The Yuuzhan Vong would hate this place, Anakin was pretty sure: Centerpoint was one of the most massive pieces of technology that existed in the galaxy, one that was capable of capturing entire planets -- according to prominent historical theories, this was how the Corellian system came to exist in the first place -- or making stars go supernova. There were over two thousand decks to the station, which made for a really kriffing long turbovator ride for Anakin and Jacen, along with Ebrihim and his Q9 astromech. The cartography team that had undertaken the monumental task of trying to map out all of Centerpoint didn't expect to be done within one lifetime, either, if that said anything about its sheer size.
A giant reactor known as the Glowpoint, the size of a star, powered the entire structure and was housed in a large hollow sphere at the station's exact midpoint; it had served as a sun to the thousands of colonists who'd made settlements on the sphere's interior walls for generations -- until eight years ago when the Triad fired the station, Glowpoint had flared up, and Hollowtown, as it was known, was completely incinerated. This place had been the source of so much destruction -- and here was Anakin, going to see if it could be re-enabled, because he had to believe it could somehow be used for good. He wasn't sure how; he just knew it could be.
The thought preoccupied him for most of the trip through the station toward Hollowtown, so he kept quiet and just followed along behind their guide, who led them to a heavily shielded chamber packed with electronic instruments: clearly a control room. The cramped quarters made it even harder to ignore the way every being in the room immediately trained laser-like focus on them the moment they stepped inside; Anakin was getting used to that, but it still grated just a bit.
( Not that he cared much about the scrutiny when he realized who exactly had shoved his way to the front of the crowd and was staring at them now. )
