Hesperidium

"Oh, yes, Palpatine loved that place..."

- Mara Jade Skywalker

Hesperidium was a luxurious resort moon in the Coruscant system.

History
During the time of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Palpatine had a retreat on the world. Furthermore, many New Republic diplomats stayed on Hesperidium during their travels to the Coruscant system.

When Coruscant fell to the Yuuzhan Vong in 27 ABY, the moon presumably fell to the alien invaders as well.

During the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War, the Hesperidium resort was still in operation. Mara Jade Skywalker tracked Lumiya to the moon, where a vicious duel ensued. Mara was battered and bruised, and Lumiya sustained several injuries to her cybernetic and organic systems, as well. Mara believed that if not for the intervention of the Sith Meditation Sphere, she would have been successful in killing Lumiya.
