Korriban

Korriban is a planet in the Force Galaxy that historians believe spawned the Sith. With its barren, desolate surface and constant bitter sandstorms coupled with volcanic activity, Korriban is no tourist destination. It is, however, an archaeologist's dream, with the entire planet seemingly dominated by tombs. This is due to the fact that the Sith once had a huge fortress on the planet, but it was destroyed by the Jedi thousands of years ago, with only the Sith tombs remaining intact. Following this, the Sith abandoned the planet.

The earliest known involvement of Korriban in 'modern' galactic affairs was during the Rise of Trask Ulgo, in which Rarth Devan travelled to the planet in search of Star Maps to locate the Star Forge. Rarth pretended to join the Sith Academy and ended up being their best student, mostly because all the other students were terrible embarrassments to the Sith Order.

After killing a weird droid and a kooky hermit, Rarth went into a tomb, picked up a lightsaber and faciliated a fight between the two best Sith Masters, eventually killing both and reigning supreme. Following that, the Sith academy fell into disarray, with most of the Sith apprentices defecting and the planet eventually being abandoned once again.

Thousands of years later, Tavion travelled to Korriban following the defeat of Desann in order to access the Tomb of Marka Ragnos, which Rarth Devan had previously explored. Tavion used the Sceptre she had filled with Force energy to open the tomb, and even succeeded in bringing Ragnos' ghost back to life. Kyle Katarn then invaded the tomb, killed Ragnos and stopped Tavion. Following that, Korriban once again returned to a lifeless wasteland.
