Ruusan was a planet[8] located in the Ruusan system[3] within the Teraab sector[2] of the galaxy's Mid Rim[1] that was orbited by three moons.[4][1] It was positioned at the coordinates P-11[5] of the Standard Galactic Grid.[9] During the Separatist Crisis, it was aligned with the Confederacy of Independent Systems,[7] and, during the Clone Wars, one of its moons was the location of Skytop Station, a secret Separatist listening post.[4] It was host to a number of ancient relics, strewn across its many historical battlefields.[10]
The planet shared its name with the Ruusan Reformations, an event of governmental reform in the Galactic Republic.[11]
Behind the scenes
Edit
Ruusan made its first appearance in Star Wars canon in "Duel of the Droids," the seventh episode of the canon animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' first season,[4] which originally aired on November 14, 2008.[12]
The planet was originally created for the Star Wars Legends video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, where it played a prominent role as the location of the powerful Force nexus known as the Valley of the Jedi.[13] In Legends, it was later revealed as the site of the final battle of the New Sith Wars,[14] which served as the catalyst for the Ruusan Reformation that reorganized the Galactic Republic.[15]
The 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia mistakenly depicts Ruusan using an image of the Ruusan moon.[8]
