Lodestar Station 479

Lodestar Station 479 was a refuelling station on Hurala in the 26th century.

The planet and Lodestar Station 479 were used as a stop off point for people on their way to other planets, including Klechton, Jalian 17, Tenten 10, Blenhorm Ogin and most notably, Arkheon. However, due to the escalating conflict between the Dalek and Earth Empires, Lodestar Station was abandoned by the end of the century.

After tricking Dalek X into taking him to Hurala, the Tenth Doctor rigged Lodestar station 479's astronic fuel reserves to explode. The blast, visible from seven light years away, struck the Exterminator and ruptured and disemboweled the ship, leaving fire spurting from its rim. The Exterminator crashed into the chasm created by the blast, sending off a second chain reaction that destroyed its support ships. The loss of the Exterminator and Dalek X knocked the Dalek war effort back and put the Dalek fleet into disarray, leading to the end of the Second Dalek War. (PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks)
