'Onyx Station' is one of two platforms to orbits Tarthos in the Orian System. Onyx serves as the main repair and refueling station for the Dlarit Navy. It also provides orbital fire support for the garrison city of Kar Alabrek and Alabrek Castle on the surface below. Onyx is also fitted with additional hanger space and quarters for the Dark Council or their emissaries.
When the True Brotherhood invaded the Orian System in the year 27 ABY, Platform Onyx along with her twin, Platform Obsidian, protected Sempros from most of the invading forces. Although when the enemy VSD Dark Fusion came into weapons range both platforms along with the VSD Covenant engaged it. During the ensuing battle Platform Obsidian was lost. It was not in vain though, after a battle on the Dark Fusion itself the VSD was captured and now serves the fleet as the VSDII Orian Legacy.
Operation Rurouni
Four years after the Invasion of Orian another plight was visited upon Platform Onyx. A group of Yuuzhan Vong, Peace Brigade and a Jedi, Eliria Krishnaya, captured the station along with a high ranking prisoner, the Herald Shikyo Sasuke Keibatsu. Hearing the news the then Consul, Robert Sadow, sent in the Journeymen of Clan Naga Sadow to take back the Platform and rescue the Herald.
The taskforce, that was sent to take the Platform back, was jointly led by Dark Jedi Knight Fremoc "Demonic" Pepoi, and then Epis Manji Keibatsu Sadow. The taskforce split into three groups, two going through thermal ports to the stations second floor and the main force forced their way in from the main docking bay. All the journeymen fought valiantly to get to the second floor of the station where the Herald was captured. By the time the taskforce got to him he had dispatched his captors and "won" a prize to boot.
After his rescue the rest of the enemies were mopped up and the station once again was in the hands of Clan Naga Sadow.
