[edit] History
Since the death of Adas and their liberation from the Infinite Empire, Tund has served the outcast heretics Sith group, known as the Sorcerers of Tund, as a headquarters. Arriving via a Rakatan vessel, the Sith located the planet by locking onto its strong Force signature.
After the near-eradication of the Sith in the Old Sith Wars, the planet became a haven for Kissai and Massassi refugees. Mating with [[Human]s, the Sith lineage continued for millenia after their arrival. Tund was also one of many planets colonized by the Toongs after neighboring Toong'l was devastated by a collision with two comets in 45 BBY. Although there was a low population count on Tund before the Toong colonies arose, the Sorcerers did not take warmly to the outsiders, with several colonies suffering great losses during the time of the Galactic Republic's collapse.
By 5 BBY, the planet was a desolate wasteland full of deadly radiation except in some places where the radiation was held in check by force fields, though even there it would take billions of years for life to grow again. This was the end result of the energies in an electromagnetic torpedo unleashed on the world by Rokur Gepta, the last Sorcerer of Tund.
The planet was the home world of Slide Paramita and Ben Quadinaros.
