"Some say that war is the beginning of civilization. On Onderon, this was certainly the case, though it was a civilization that took a very peculiar form."
―Arca Jeth

One of three planets in the Onderon system, Onderon has a temperate climate, and was once home to a primitive race of Humanoids. Battle ground of both the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. Home to what is known as the Beast Riders. The Beast Riders of Onderon were a group of dissidents cast away from Iziz by its rulers who had been corrupted by their former king, the Sith Lord Freedon Nadd. The rulers had hoped the dissidents, branded "criminals," would be devoured by the vicious beasts in the Onderon wilderness that had migrated over an oxygen bridge from the moon of Dxun. However, over time, the outcasts succeeded in taming the beasts, using them as winged war mounts for their campaigns against Iziz.

Today, most residents live within the walled city ruled by Astra - Queen of Onderon. Onderon is also home to the Republic Liberation Front…a group that is in direct opposition to the Empire. The city of Iziz is under constant protection by the Royal Guard and Onderon Navy. Onderon has dangers of its own, be it beastys or beastriders or Mandalorians. The Onderon people for several milenia have been independant keeping out of most conflicts and keeping a neutral status. Quite fragile this may be at times, you never know when one may sway toward the path of one or another in disagreement…

Dxun

Dxun (pronounced /'dʌksɪn/) was the largest of four moons that orbited the Outer Rim world of Onderon. Like its parent planet, it was covered almost entirely by dense jungles that were populated by many species of fierce, predatory animals. Due to its constant rains and wet climate, mechanical devices did not last long and required continuous maintenance. Moreover, the jungles were inhabited by many dangerous predators such as bomas, cannoks, drexls, maalraas, Skreevs, and zakkegs, forcing the moon's inhabitants to be armed at all times.

Though considered a moon of Onderon, Dxun and Onderon are almost sister planets. They are so close to one another that it is only a short shuttle ride between them, and they even share a bit of the same atmosphere. Every year, during Dxun's summer season, the atmospheres of Onderon and Dxun connect. This allowed the vicious Drexls to wander and settle on Onderon, thus laying the foundations for the Beast Wars.

After assuming the leadership of the Mandalorians, Mandalore the Ultimate made Dxun his stronghold, from which he planned his attack on the Galactic Republic. Years later, the Republic attempted to capture the Mandalorian headquarters on Dxun. Republic forces managed to defeat the Mandalorians, but the victory came at a heavy cost. During the bloody battle, the Republic lost ten soldiers for every Mandalorian killed.

After the battle, the Republic military did not bother to demolish many structures that the Mandalorians had built; nor did they uncover the many hidden weapons caches providently left in case the Mandalorians were someday to return.

And return they did. Enter Dxun carefully…
