10 Onderon is an out-of-the-way world in The Inner Rim. The largely Human population is distrustful of outsiders and aliens.
15 Onderon's great walled cities are built for defense, a necessity stemming from the frequent skirmishes between Onderon's natives and the Beasts from the planet's moon, Dxun.
20 For over three hundred years before the beginning of The Great Sith War, the planet is ravaged by a conflict with exiles from the city of Iziz, who tame Beasts from Dxun to use against their fellow Onderonians in combat.
25 For several centuries, the ruling families of Onderon exiled criminals and political dissidents from Iziz, leaving them to be killed by Beasts from Dxun. These dissidents formed the core of the resistance movement, who fought against the Onderonians during The Beast Wars.
30 Prior to The Great Sith War, the rulers of Onderon are steeped in the lore of The Dark Side of The Force, stemming from the planet's conquest by the Dark Lord of the Sith, Freedon Nadd.

20 Dxun, one of Onderon's moons, orbits so close to the planet that is periodically brushes Onderon's atmosphere, allowing creatures to escape Dxun and make their way to the surface of Onderon.
