Orth is a rust colored moon with a nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Its sole settlement is an immense structure which arose as a prison for the Empire during its waning days.

Description

Orth is a mountainous moon with a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, where Emperor Palpatine ordered the construction of a prison during the colonization of the system due to its distance from the Galactic Core. After the fall of the Empire, the Syndicate continued to use the moon's prison for their own needs.

Notable Landmarks

The Bastion

The Bastion

The Bastion, also known as Orth prison, is a remote prison fortress located on the moon Orth. It was operated by the Empire until its destruction on Endor, with its inmates being forced to serve the Empire as laborers on the construction sites for the colonization of the Caelus System.

History

Pre-Taldryan

Sanctioned shortly after the discovery of the Caelus system and the sanctioning to colonize it for the Empire, the Empire constructed a prison fortress on Orth to house criminals that would then be used as laborers on the various construction sites that arose with the plans of colonizing the system.
