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 is operated by the Caelus Security and is made up from the damaged remains of an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer of the same name that had served as the former lead ship of the imperial Garrison stationed within the Caelus System before the fall of the Galactic Empire with well organized groups of inmates utilizing the Bastion for black market operations, selling spare parts from the Bastion through out the system.

In 39 ABY the destroyer was critically damaged, and the prison itself was relocated to an undisclosed world somewhere in the fringes of the Seitia sector.

History

Pre-Taldryan

Re-work to reflect the events around the uprising shortly after the fall of the Empire that resulted in the near destruction of the Bastion and its grounding on Orth and its following repurposing into a prison.
