Rhen Var/Legends

Rhen Var was a planet situated in the Outer Rim. Throughout the history of the Republic, Rhen Var was covered in ice, rendering it near inhospitable. Remains of an ancient civilisation and old Jedi artifacts can be found beneath the ice on the planet, remnants of a former population.

Rhen Var was once a fertile paradise filled with vegetation and wild life. Millions of years ago, an atmospheric cataclysm turned it into an icy hibernal surface. Since then, it has been a frigid world of frozen tundra and snowswept mountains.

After the Great Sith War (4,000 BBY), Ulic Qel-Droma sought refuge on Rhen Var, and there trained Vima Sunrider. He was murdered and buried there.

22 BBY, During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems seized Rhen Var with an army so big that the Republic base had to evacuate the planet. Obi-Wan Kenobi informed the Jedi Council about the seizure of the planet. The Separatist's motives were unclear as to why they took the world, until Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker discovered Count Dooku uncovering the Force Harvester on Raxus Prime. The answers to its power would be located in the tomb of Ulic Qel-Droma on Rhen Var. After the Liberation of Alaris Prime, the Galactic Republic retook Rhen Var in the Battle of Rhen Var and Anakin learned from Ulic's tomb how to stop the Force Harvester which would power the Dark Reaper located on the ancient Sith world of Thule.
