We prove that under [CH], finite compactifications of ω * \ {x} are homeomorphic to ω * . Moreover, in each case, the remainder consists almost exclusively of P -points, apart from possibly one point.Similar results are obtained for other, related classes of spaces, amongst them Sκ, the κ-Parovičenko space of weight κ. Also, some parallels are drawn to the Cantor set and the Double Arrow space.
