[edit] Overview

Korriban, the sole planet in the Horuset system, is located across the galaxy from Koros Major. It was used as a graveyard for Ancient Sith and was later reborn as a home and training ground for modern Sith. It was once a slave world of the Infinite Empire many millennia before the the first Sith Lords came. Sith Lord Naga Sadow built his tomb millennia later around the Star Map, a relic of the time when the Rakata had used the Star Forge.

This remote, forbidding planet seethes with dark side energy and echoes with the whispers of a thousand ghosts. It was the burial world of the ancient Sith Empire, and has long been a sacred planet for the Sith Order. It is orbited by seven moons, and was unknown to the Old Republic before Sadow's rise to power. It was to Korriban that the ancient Dark Jedi fled after they were exiled by the Jedi Knights during the Second Great Schism.

Side note: Both the Sith Warrior and Sith Inquisitor classes will start on this planet.
