Sojourn, also known as "the Hunters' Moon" was a moon of an unknown planet which was home to the personal retreat of Darth Plagueis.

The moon was founded generations earlier by members of the InterGalactic Banking Clan where it was created as a place for relaxation for the clan's wealthiest clientele, which was a prerequisite for those of exalted privilege. In this era, Sojourn was protected by Iotran Brandsmen who provided security. In time, under Caar Damask's management following his retirement from chairmenship of the IB, the moon changed into a retreat where the most important individuals in the galaxy were brought together to exchange ideas. This think tank met on Sojourn when the galactic credit standard was established, was where the chancellorship of Eixes Valorum was first proposed and the membership of the Trade Federation Directorate was reorganized.

Under Hego Damask, the retreat on Sojourn was altered once more from being a resort or think tank into his personal retreat when he became a Sith Lord. From here, he plotted and strategized in order to reshape the course of galactic history. In this time, he made use of a contingent of silver suited Echani Sun Guards to provide security to the site while he staffed the moon with exotic plants and cloned game animals. The existence of the Hunter's Moon was whispered by those that knew of it slightly and even by those that visited repeatedly over the centuries. Whilst the system it was located in could be found in registries, the moon was capable of being found only by those who knew where to look and had the means of deciphering the data that revealed its location. The ancient fort was turned into a resort where he kept Sith ceremonies and architecture that were known only to him.

Every standard year, Damask and dozens of Muuns that made up Damask Holdings hosted an event known as a Gathering. Many influential beings were brought to Sojourn by ships owned by Damask with none coming without an invitation—those that did, invited death. All these individuals shared Damask's belief in financial profit being more important than notoriety, politics or vulgar morality. The former king of Naboo Lord Veruna bombed Sojourn with nuclear weapons in an attempt to kill Darth Plagueis. The Sith escaped due to forewarning by his Hutt allies, but the moon was rendered desolate by the attack and Plagueis' laboratories and residence were destroyed.
