Korriban is a fictional planet in the Star Wars universe, the sole planet in the Horuset System, located across the galaxy from Cinnagar and Koros Minor.
This remote, forbidding planet was the seat of the ancient Sith race, and has long been a sacred planet for the Sith order.It is orbited by seven moons, and was unknown to the Old Republic before the rise of Naga Sadow. It was to Korriban that the ancient Dark Jedi fled, after they were exiled by the Jedi Knights.
Korriban is a desolate world which, under the pall of Sith magic, has become more hellish and dangerous. The Sith Lords erected huge palaces and burial complexes, which honour not only the dead Lords but the current magicians as well. After the fall of the Sith Empire, the planet lost much of its prominence.
It was briefly resettled during the reign of Darth Malak, and was home to the settlement of Dreshdae and a Sith training academy.
However, with the fall of the Dark Lord, the Sith order collapsed into civil war and the world was once again abandoned.
