Takara Mountains

The Takara Mountains, known originally by the native Keshiri species as the Cetajan Mountains, were a mountain range on the remote Wild Space planet of Kesh. In 5000 BBY, during the Great Hyperspace War, a Sith starship, the Omen, crash-landed in these mountains. The survivors of the crash were stranded on the planet and eventually formed the Lost Tribe of Sith. They built a Sith Temple in the mountains, over and around the crash site of the Omen.

Grand Lord Nida Korsin ordered the Sith Tribe to abandon the Temple in the mountains, an order that remained in effect for over a thousand years. In 3963 BBY, the Jedi Jelph Marrian crash-landed in the jungle highlands in the mountains; he lived among the Sith as a poor merchant who traded with the Keshiri, although Sith Saber Orielle Kitai eventually discovered the truth of his past. The two fell in love and moved to a new home in the jungle after Marrian's farm was destroyed in battle with the Grand Lord. By 41 ABY, the Sith had returned to the Temple and the mountains.
