"By Tion's spleen—hour after hour, they whine and they wail, like those tone-deaf fanes of Xo! Just gag it or die already, and allow us all some rest! If you cravens even knew who I was…"

―Xim, in the third episode of the play Evocar

Tion was a planet located within the Tion Hegemony of the Outer Rim Territories.

Geography

The world that gave the Tion Cluster its name was one of its minor planets. Tion was largely covered by a world-spanning ocean and orbited two brilliant cyan stars. The planet was also orbited by three industrialized moons, with one of them hosting a spaceport.

History

"Just as Xim's life befuddles historical corroboration, so does his end—and The Despotica invites a galaxy of possibilities. Basel of Tion and the holowright of holowrights himself, Peshosloc, both have Xim, in their versions, perishing after the Third Battle. Direus'pei, on the other hand, keeps Xim alive, shackled in the dungeons of Evocar, which did not fall under Hutt control until 10,000 years after Xim's time."

―Professor S. V. Skynx, The Despotica Reader, Third Edition

One of the worlds of the Kingdom of Cron, Tion was absorbed into Xim's Empire. After the fall of the empire in 25,100 BBY. After the empire collapsed, the planet would continue to thrive as a world of the Honorable Union of Desevro and Tion, eventually becoming part of the Tion Hegemony when the Tion Cluster joined the Galactic Republic.

In the Republic's final years, the Tion Cluster worlds joined the CIS and would later become a part of the Galactic Empire.
