Sulon Sullust has two moons. One of them is a small, unremarkable hunk of spinning rock named Umnub, from which the Sullustans mined all the useful materials perhaps a millennium before the Battle of Yavin. In stark contrast, the other moon, Sulon, is a large, inhabited planetoid with a breathable atmosphere. Roughly two hundred million of Sullust's inhabitants live on Sulon, and most of them are directly or indirectly involved with the thriving agriculture program. From the air, the entire moon looks like a neat set of cross-hatched fields, tended by rugged agriculture droids. This appearance is deceiving, however. Sulon also houses Sulon Incorporate, a subsidiary of SoroSuub. Sulon Incorporate uses the moon as a production, manufacturing, and starport facility. Using construction techniques learned from their planetary cousins, S1 civil engineers house manufacturing facilities in underground caves. They prefer to leave as much arable surface for farming as possible. The most dangerous production work is performed in these factories by sensitive droid workers, keeping volatile manufacturing off Sullust. Explosives, weapons testing, bacterial experiments, and similarly hazardous technology are generally built and shipped out from here. Though this is dangerous, SoroSuub catastrophe experts agree that a disaster on Sulon is preferable to one on geologically unstable Sullust. Finally, Sulon is home to the well-equipped Raoub Starport, named for SoroSuub Founder & CEO Rajzar Raoub. Raoub Starport is Sullust's best-equipped and best known port. Some business partners would be uncomfortable or are physically incapable of traveling within the buried cities of the planet below prefer to remain in the domed starport on Sulon. Many visitors to Sullust have never actually been to the planet proper. Instead, they commit their transactions in the spacious, luxurious starport on Sulon. Daily shuttles ferry corporate negotiators and executives from SoroSuub Central to Sulon to conduct business.
