Eriadu (Dark Order War)

Eriadu was the primary world in the Seswenna Sector, and one of the Outer Rim's most active trade centers. It sat on the intersection of several hyperspace routes, including the Rimma Trade Route, the Hydian Way, the Lipsec Run, and the Yankirk Route.

The planet had originally been on the Eriadu Bypass until the Hydian Way was remapped to run through Eriadu (reflecting economic realities) rather than Seswenna.

Geography
Eriadu was covered in rugged landmasses and small seas. Its surface was full of dirty industry and waste zones that polluted its atmosphere, land and sea. Eriadu remained in this polluted state because its legislators were more interested in expanding the planet's urban sprawl to match that of other city worlds like Coruscant rather than investing atmosphere scrubbers, aquifer purifiers and waste disposal systems.

Major cities on Eriadu included its capital Eriadu City, Phelar and Old Town Factoryville. The planet was also mentioned to have forests though their current state is unknown. Eriadu was orbited by one natural moon, small shipyards, and several orbital habitats.

Society
Eriadu was settled by Human colonists during the Galactic Republic era. Eriaduan men tended to wear turbans and beards while women were veiled. Notable Eriaduans included the Tarkin family which played a role in the history of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. Many if not all Eriaduans were also Humanocentric.

History
Eriadu was occupied by the Cult of Ragnos a few years before the Dark Order War, and became the faction's chief industrial world, supplying weapons, corvettes, and small capital ships from the planet's many factories and several shipyards. After the demise of Tavion Axmis, the Cult's leader, and the reformation of it into the Dark Order of Korr, Eriadu continued to supply the Imperial Remnant.

Following the death of the Dark Order's leader, Jaden Korr, it became the main base of the members of his organization that were still loyal to him. However, the Korr Loyalists would not stay there for long. A large fleet and army, led by Darth Persia, Dark Lord of the Sith, attacked Eriadu city in order to kill Jaden's last supporters. After a long battle in the city, Persia's troops broke into the palace and excecuted the leaders, ending the First Battle of Eriadu.

The loyalist forces surrendered soon after.
