| '''Tarthos''', also known as '''Orian VII''', was once part of the domain of the ancient [[Sith Lord]] [[Urias Orian]].

| Tarthos is a harsh world, suffering from the harsh effects brought on by the relative proximity of [[Orian Minor]]. On one hand, Tarthos owes its existence to Orian Minor, being much too far out from [[Orian Major]] to survive otherwise. However, the nature of Tarthos's orbit means there are periods, albeit brief, when it nears Orian Minor and becomes unusually warm, and periods where it's orbit takes it away from both stars, leaving the landscape cold and unwelcoming. The planet is known for storms, with heavy rainfall being common, despite the lack of any thick plantlife, though there are a few small isolated forests across the world. The fauna on Tarthos is all rather unique. Though the species resemble many of the creatures found on [[Aeotheran]] and [[Sepros]] they have been forced to evolve into slightly different offshoots in order to survive the harsh temperatures. | | Tarthos is a harsh world, suffering from the harsh effects brought on by the relative proximity of [[Orian Minor]].
