May I raise a point here? The Forge is a planet in my post Infinite Entropy. It is a codename for a Union factory planet we wished to be hidden. It is not a space station. Perhaps you are thinking of the Star Forge?
We can also take destroyed planets... canon isn't treated terribly heavy here. Though I wonder what effect (tactical advantadge?) that little piece of information might have if someone finds it and attacks it?
If it was ensnared at a vast distance from the black hole, it would slowly be drawn in by they gravity of the black hole.
Scientists confirmed the exsitance of black holes by observing stars that orbited them, caught in their gravity, at a close distance (speaking in lightyears) and spinning around them:
The Forge is caught similarly in the black hole's gravity, albiet at a great distance. It's descent is slowed by its primary's gravity (that star of course is also caught in the black holes gravity).
One, I didn't say that it's not possible for a planet to be lodged in a black hole. I know that it is.
Two, the theory of black holes is under some debate... there is question as to whether they actually exist, as they have never seen a black hole consume anything (for obvious reasons) only it's seeming to effect local stars by way of it's gravity.
Three, my point is, that any planet caught in the gravity well of a black hole would be impossible to be visited by space craft, as any craft that came close to it would, also, be caught in the well and be unable to ever leave. That would make it impossible to take over, build a base on, or run operations from.
That facility was surrounded by black holes. Yet it was visited by numerous people who cam and go at will.
A black hole's gravity is powerful enough to prevent light from escaping.... but in the Star Wars Universe you can go faster than light if you travel via hyperspace. Thus, it can be assumed, with the evidence of the Maw Installation, that hyperspace is powerful enough to escape the gravity of a black hole.
And thus operations could be conducted from there.
