Onderon is a fringe planet in the Japreal System. It has a temperate climate, and was once home to a primative race of humanoids. Like so many other fringe planets, they have a natural distrust of aliens. There are four moons around the planet, including Dxun, a jungle moon which once orbitted so close to the planet that the Dxun wildlife could move between the two.

The native Onderonians struggled against the beasts, eventually gathering new technologies and building a huge walled city to protect themselves from the beasts. Later, the Onderonians began to send their criminal element out into the wilderness without any protection from the beasts. These outcasts soon learnt to defend themselves, and eventually formed a second civilization. Relations between the two groups were hostile, and they remained at war with each other for many years.

The Old Republic, seeking to calm the hostilites between the two, finally asked the Jedi to watch over the world. The Jedi Master Arca Jeth became the watchman, and assigned his padawan, Ulic Qel-Droma to the planet. After many years, the war finally ended with marriage of the Onderonian princess Galia and the Beastprince. Although the relationship between the two groups isn't great, there is a mutual respect of each other.

Many years later, Onderon became the base for Sith Lord, Freedon Nadd, to begin founding a new Sith Empire. It is also rumoured that Darth Bane visited the planet several centuries later to find an apprentice.
