Roon

Roon was an astronomical object located in the Outer Rim Territories that was a junction between the Death Wind Corridor, the Mumble's Turnaround, and the Triellus Trade Route hyperlanes. The celestial body made up one of three corners of the Spice Triangle trade network. The resident Roonians, which included many humans, in Roon's military defense forces supported the Galactic Republic's war effort during the Clone Wars. The Roonians Mekedrix and Oron led a company against Separatist Alliance forces on the agriworld Abrion Major around 22 BBY.

Later, in the time of the Galactic Empire, Roon was ruled by an Imperial governor, while the Pyke Syndicate controlled underworld trade there and in the rest of the Spice Triangle. Sometime by 10 BBY, the smuggler Tryphon Leo planned to lock down the Spice Triangle, wishing to bribe the Pykes and the governor of Roon to make way for their plans, but they were killed before they could enact their plans. Following the theft of the Death Star plans in 1 BBY, the Rebel Alliance corvette Tantive IV took a route via Roon to the planet Tatooine.
