This remote, forbidding planet, seething with dark side energy and echoing with the whispers of a thousand ghosts, was the burial world of the ancient Sith Empire, and has long been a sacred planet for the Sith Order. It is orbited by seven moons, and was unknown to the Old Republic before the rise of Dark Lord Naga Sadow. It was to Korriban that the ancient Dark Jedi fled after they were exiled by the Jedi Knights during the Second Great Schism. Korriban was originally inhabited by the Sith race, a relatively simple, red-skinned people. The Dark Jedi amazed the Sith with their training in the Force, and soon elected themselves to a god-like status, becoming the rulers, or "Lords," of the Sith. As the years passed, interbreeding occurred between the human Dark Jedi and the Sith, until at last the two people had become one. Korriban is a desolate world which, under the pall of Sith magic, has become more hellish and dangerous. The Sith Lords erected huge palaces and burial complexes to honor their fallen Dark Lords. Whenever a Dark Lord died, his mummified corpse was interred with great ceremony in the Valley of the Dark Lords (probably inspired by the Valley of the Kings). Some famous Sith Lords buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords include: Marka Ragnos, Naga Sadow, Ajunta Pall, Tulak Hord and Ludo Kressh. Freedon Nadd is the only Dark Lord of the Sith not to be buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords. His tomb is on Dxun, one of the moons of Onderon. After the fall of the Sith Empire, the planet lost much of its prominence. It was briefly resettled during the reign of Darth Malak, and was home to the settlement of Dreshdae and a Sith training academy. However, with the death of the Dark Lord at the hands of Revan, the Sith Order collapsed into civil war and the world was once again abandoned. The Sith Empire was an empire established by Dark Jedi banished from the Galactic Republic. ...
