Raydonia was a temperate, forested planet located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories.
Description[edit | edit source]
Orbited by a pair of moons,[2] Raydonia was a small, easily overlooked planet located in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories[1] in relative proximity to Akiva,[4] Dathomir,[1] Dermos, Geonosis, Mustafar, and Tatooine.[4] A temperate world covered in forests, it was the site of an unallied settlement that required supplies from regularly scheduled transport ships.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
- "There will be more innocent blood on your hands, Kenobi! Unless you come. Face me. Come alone. If you do not, this world will burn!"
- ―Darth Maul, via hologram, taunts Obi-Wan Kenobi to face him on Raydonia
During the Clone Wars, the renegade Sith Lord Maul and his brother Savage Opress ventured to Raydonia, where they slaughtered human colonists in an attempt to draw Obi-Wan Kenobi there. Once Kenobi arrived, he fought the two Sith brothers with the aid of Asajj Ventress.[2]
Following the Battle of Endor, Wedge Antilles volunteered to patrol certain Outer Rim planets where Imperial presences were possible. Before he and his starhopper were captured by the Star Destroyer Vigilance over Akiva, he reported to the New Republic while on Raydonia. When he disappeared, the New Republic sent scouts each to Mustafar, Geonosis, Dermos, and Tatooine, and two scouts to Akiva, knowing these worlds were the closest to the planet where he last reported.[4]
