Overview
Polis Massa is an artificial space station in an asteroid field in the Outer Rim, serving as one of the most important medical centers in the galaxy.

History
Polis Massa was founded centuries ago as a mining station, but the rich deposits of rare minerals were quickly exhausted. The station was then converted into a medical center, utilizing the remoteness and natural shielding of the asteroid field to create a safe and tranquil environment for treating patients. During the Clone Wars, Polis Massa became an important retreat for wounded soldiers from both sides, although the station officially remained neutral. The highlight of Polis Massa’s history was the dramatic birth of the twins Luke and Leia Amidala Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker, now on the dark side as Darth Vader, pursued his wife Padme here after she fled from him. The doctors of Polis Massa fought for Padme’s life, and despite her severe injuries, she gave birth to two healthy children - a moment of hope in the darkest times of the galaxy.
