Korriban was the sole planet in the Horuset system, located across the galaxy from Koros Major. It was a world of the Sith species and a sacred planet for the Sith Order, housing the tombs for many ancient and powerful Dark Lords of the Sith, and containing tremendous dark side power. It was originaly used as a graveyard for Ancient Sith people and later was used as a home and training ground for more modern Sith. Korriban has housed an accademy, being destroyed by the republic and rebuilt by the sith, from the time of Darth Revan to the new jedi order era. Some famous Sith Lords buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords include: Marka Ragnos, Naga Sadow, Ajunta Pall, Tulak Hord and Ludo Kressh. Freedon Nadd is one of the few Dark Lords of the Sith not to be buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords.
Due to the planet's harsh terrain (or the power of the Dark Side), Korriban's native fauna was both vicious and cunning. The bat-like Shyracks lived in great numbers in caves on the planet. Tuk'ata hounds were also fairly common. Dark side dragons, or Hssiss, were also found on Korriban, though as semi-aquatic creatures, they were quite rare. Wraid were also found on Korriban. There is evidence that, at one point, the planet was home to an ape or primate-like species, although by the time of Naga Sadow the species was long gone. Though it is possible that the primate-like species was somehow connected to the Sith species, no conclusive link between this species and the Sith species was known.
