Voon

Voon was a Core Worlds planet. A part of the Krenher sector, it was situated on the Hyabb-Twith Corridor hyperlane, a zone long embroiled in a conflict between the worlds Hyabb and Twith. Decades before 4050 BBY, the Nelori Marauders established their main base on Voon. The planet's location in the contested area allowed the Nelori to carry out raids against starships and worlds both along the Corridor and in the nearby star systems without any fear of pursuit or reprisal.

Eventually, the Jedi Order dispatched a task force of Jedi Knights to eliminate the threat posed by the Nelori Marauders. A small group of Jedi pursued the Marauders to Voon, where the former severely damaged the Nelori fleet before being repulsed by a counter-attack by Marauder reinforcements. Another larger group of Jedi soon arrived on the planet in specially modified stealth transports. However, when the Jedi infiltrated the fortress used by the Nelori as their base, they could find no trace of the bandits.

The Arkanian-Sephi Jedi Arca Jeth then used the Force to detect signs of life below the fortress in the subterranean pockets littering the planet's crust. Jeth led his fellow Jedi into a large chamber underground, where the group faced an unexpected cave-in, followed by an ambush by the Nelori Marauders. Although the ensuing battle proved costly to the Jedi force, Jeth's use of the battle meditation technique allowed the Jedi to ultimately defeat the Marauders.
