Acherin

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Acherin was a Separatist-held planet that was the site of one of the last battles of the Clone Wars.

[edit] History

Acherin's terrain was made up of mostly canyons and plateaus as well as volcanic caves.

During the Clone Wars, the Commander of the Galactic Republic forces on Acherin was the Jedi Master Garen Muln. Master Muln managed to work with the Separatists in negotiating a treaty near the end of the war, however Order 66 was soon thereafter initiated. When the Galactic Empire was formed the Separatists on Acherin decided to resist, fighting from their base of the ancient city Eluthan.

Several months following the rise of the Empire, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ferus Olin, and Trever Flume landed on Acherin, trying to escape from the bounty hunter Boba Fett. They encountered the leaders of the resistance, Raina Quill and Toma, and helped them flee the planet when Imperial forces, under Admiral Riwwel, began an orbital bombardment of Eluthan.
