Roon

Roon was a planet located in the nearly impenetrable Cloak of the Sith. It serves as the seat of Imperial power in the New Sith Empire, housing the Imperial Palace and much of the central Imperial bureaucracy.

Location
Located in an impenetrable cosmic dust cloud ominously referred to as the Cloak of the Sith, the few easily navigable routes to Roon were strictly controlled by the Sith fleets. Even the most complete accounts of alternative routes were sketchy at best, and the lockdown of information following the rise of the New Sith Empire seemed to guarantee Roon's isolation from unwanted intrusions. A side effect to this was that trade to Roon was limited, but that was fine; the planet was largely self-sufficient and plentiful in resources.

Surrounded by a lethal ring of asteroids and meteors, Roon was located in an Outer Rim system of the same name. Other notable planets in the Roon system included the searing rock planet of Kaloo (which was moonless) and the barren rock world Iqoon (which had two moons).

Like nearby Ryloth, Roon only rotated on its axis once every orbit around the sun, rendering one side constantly bright and the other side constantly dark. Unlike Ryloth, however, the lit side of the world was not scorching, nor was the dark side frigid; this phenomenon may be due to cloud cover, or an extensive ozone layer. Whatever the reason, Roon long served as a staging point for spice smugglers coming from Ryloth.

History
After being driven off of Coruscant, the Taungs fled to Roon, where they resided until 3350 BTC. At this point, they migrated to the planet that came to be known as Mandalore.

Roon became the capital of the New Sith Empire, founded by Darth Ruin in the wake of the Fourth Great Schism. After protecting their borders, trade was difficult with Roon; in order to make up for the lack of easy access to the capital, Dorsat became something of a secondary capital, responsible for picking up the slack in trade and cultural exchange. Roon has a small but consistent trade primarily through Dorsat, but to a lesser extent through Manda, importing necessary technologies and exporting flame jewels, Roon spice, and the occasional Roonstones.
