Restoration Zone

Restoration Zone refers to one such zone in a network of similar areas erected during the Telos Restoration Project on Telos IV by the Ithorians in the years following the Jedi Civil War.

Construction
In the aftermath of the bombardment of Telos by Admiral Saul Karath in 3,959 BBY the surface of that world was left scarred and the atmosphere had been turned into an inhospitable morass of acidic vapor clouds and toxic chemical rain. After the defeat of the Sith under Darth Malak three years later the Galactic Republic, in an effort to inspire a general sense of galactic recovery and to spur the economy, began funding the Ithorian efforts to restor the Telos to something approaching that world's former glory. As a result networks of Restoration Zones were created, overseen by workers on Citadel Station, a titanic orbital structure that covered nearly an eighth of Telos' surface.

As part of this network massive intersecting lines of shield walls were erected, which divided much of the surface of Telos in the shadow of Citadel Station up into zones, which were then cleaned up, cultivated and monitored on an individual basis by Ithorian and droid technicians. The process involved many steps, from first isolating and containing the chemical polutants, to introducing hearty specimens of plants and later animals into each zone. Examples of flora and fauna were taken from multiple worlds in the Galaxy including Onderon.
