'''Trantor Station''' was a space station in orbit of the planet [[Trantor]]. Ships arriving at the capital would dock at the station before being processed through customs and allowed to descend to the surface via the [[Star Bridge]]. A hologram of [[Cleon I]] greeted new arrivals. In [[Timeline|12,067 Era Imperial]], Trantor Station was targeted by terrorists; a [[Thespin Bomber]] triggered a [[nano-lace explosive]], killing himself, destroying a large part of that station, and severing it from the Star Bridge itself.<ref name="TEP" /> In 10,086 Era Imperial, the remains of Trantor station were in a deteriorating orbit. [[Cleon XI]], in his role as [[Brother Dusk]], wondered if there was a way to save the platform to preserve [[Cleon I]]'s legacy. Reminded by his brothers that they were Cleon I's legacy, the station was destroyed as a gift to Dusk on the eve of his ascension.<ref name="TMG">"[[The Mathematician's Ghost]]"</ref>
