- "If any of you would like to learn the ways of the Force, to do what Vilas and I can do—whether you be male or female, noble-born or slave—come join us. Our settlement is at the bottom of the Great Canyon, only three days' journey from here by foot."
- ―Vonnda Ra
The Great Canyon, also known as Vass Meindras,[1] was a wide canyon on the planet Dathomir. It was located just north of the Frenzied River,[3] between the Red Hills and the Northern Lakes.[4] A small river surrounded by lush vegetation flowed at the bottom of the canyon.[1]
History[]

The bottom of the Great Canyon
Around the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Witches of Dathomir of the Great Canyon Clan had their settlement at the bottom of the Great Canyon. In 23 ABY, the Dark Jedi Brakiss set up camp here to search for experienced dark side adepts to join the Second Imperium's Shadow Academy.[2]
