Taris is a planet in the Star Wars universe featured in the 2003 videogame Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
It is the first planet visited by the player after he or she escapes from a transport ship which comes under attack from Sith forces.
Situated on a hyperspace transport hub, Taris was once an important galactic presence but at the time of the game is decaying rapidly.
One sprawling city covers the entirety of the planet surface. The less affluent citizens live underground, in the Undercity or Lower city.
After the player rescues the Jedi Bastila, who has been taken prisoner by lower city gangs, the group flee the planet. Shortly after it is obliterated by the Sith forces under the command of the Dark Lord Malak.The player steals the Ebon Hawk, Davik's prized possesion, and leaves the planet to find Lord Malak destroying it although unlike the destruction of Alderaan, the planet itself survives though its surface is completely devastated by spatial bombardment.
