Ancient Proving Grounds
Onderon has seen its fair share of violence and unrest, so much that one of the planet's most culturally important locations was built in reverence to battle. The ancient proving grounds were originally built by Naddist cultists as a place for Sith Lords to compete--often to the death--for the favor of Freedon Nadd.

The proving grounds stayed under Sith control until Onderon's Beast Riders seized the surrounding territory. Undeterred by the traces of dark side energy that remained, the outcasts used the proving grounds as the site of trials a Beast Rider faced before earning the title of Beast-Lord.

Due to Beast-Lord Akoru's neglect in recent years, the proving grounds have been overrun by members of Onderon's noble families and their guards, and the once hallowed spot now serves as a royal retreat. Many nobles return with stories of how they embodied their ancestors' bravery and valor during their visits to the proving grounds, but because of the area's seclusion, few claims can be truly corroborated.

Iziz
Amidst Onderon's sweeping mountains and colorful flora, brave travelers will find the planet's crown jewel, the city of Iziz. The most prominent and advanced settlement on its host world, Iziz is well known for its ornate structures, equally extravagant citizens, and most notably, its fabled defenses. The city boasts high, fortified walls constructed to safeguard the bustling streets from the dangerous terrestrial creatures beyond. More impressive, however, are the massive anti-aircraft turbolaser turrets peppering the surrounding terrain that serve two purposes: to fend off trespassing starships, and to protect the city's inhabitants from the wing-borne terrors of Dxun, Onderon's "Demon Moon."

When inquiring of the city's inhabitants why anyone would remain voluntarily in such a hazardous setting, proud citizens assert that if one can flourish in Iziz, then life anywhere else is bound to be pedestrian.

Meridian Complex Shipyard
Corellia is already a prominent home for shipbuilding, but none of its myriad starship construction facilities can compare with the innovations of the newly-constructed Meridian Complex shipyard. Nestled along the shoreline near Coronet City, the facility's structure is like most others: a grand, sweeping shell filled with the promise of fleets of ships soon to launch toward the stars. Its high corridors snake their way inward like a metallic labyrinth, eventually terminating at the primary production spire. The towering structure looms high above Corellia's surface, a monument to its engineers' recent achievements.

Rumored to be derived from the advanced technologies of Iokath, this facility is capable of producing warships three times faster than its predecessors while requiring only a fraction of the energy consumption. This alone makes it a crucial addition to the Republic's assets in a time of severely limited resources, and a severe threat to the war efforts of the Sith Empire.

Royal Hunting Lodge
Hunting the ferocious beasts of Onderon has been a time-honored tradition for many generations of the planet's ruling families. Social calendars are filled with festivals dedicated to the hunt, and nobles often use stories recounting the size and challenge of their prey as symbols of rank and status. Although reality for many of Onderon's citizens means never venturing beyond the safety of city walls, the nobility erects lavish outposts to ensure access to their favored pastime.

The royal hunting lodge near Onderon's capital city was a gift from Queen Lina to her son, Petryph, on the eve of his first hunt after coming of age. The sprawling villa was once adorned with quarry hunted by the late queen herself, but over time, more and more of these trophies have been replaced. The winding hallways of the lodge are filled with non-native creatures "cut down during the king's many hunts across the galaxy," though only a few in Petryph's inner circle have ever known him to leave the planet.

As of late, the royal hunting lodge has become King Petryph's preferred residence, much to the dismay of those concerned with the ruler's apathetic approach toward his responsibilities.

Related planet:	Onderon Famed for its expansive jungles and deadly wildlife, the Inner Rim planet of Onderon has been a member of the Republic for centuries. Though its population is relatively small, the world has played a major role in many key conflicts and events in galactic history. The vast majority of Onderon's people live within the planet's capital city, Iziz. The government is a constitutional monarchy, with the present ruling dynasty tracing its lineage to Queen Talia, who ruled the planet in the chaotic era of the Jedi Civil War.
