Terak's Keep
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Terak's Keep, also known as the Marauders' Stronghold, was a castle built by King Terak of the Sanyassan Marauders during the height of the New Order. It was located on the forest moon of Endor, in the Dragon's Pelt savana.
When the Marauders crash-landed on the moon of Endor 100 BBY, they subdued some areas of the Endorian plains. In order to organize themselves, they built this enormous, gloomy, and untidy castle. It would serve as barracks and home to their chiefs, the self-proclaimed King Terak and Charal.
The fortress contained many dungeons, a throneroom, and was poorly equipped with primitive technology such as flares and candles lightning. Its moat was filled with dark and highly caustic-acid water.
During the battle the Stronghold was partly damaged, but was later used as a shelter for remnants of the Sanyassan Marauders. Yavid later tried to become the king, but the order didn't last long. All the Sanyassans turned on each other, and the only one who became the victor was the Marauder and new king, Zakul.
