"Vjun? Isn't that just a big, dead rock?"

―Kyle Katarn

Vjun (or Vijjun) was a dark, almost lifeless planet known for its acidic rainfalls and resultant lack of plant life. It was also renowned for its expensive hand-woven tunics.

Overview Vjun was the homeworld of the Malreaux family, one of the oldest and wealthiest on the planet. The Viscount Malreaux performed experiments on midi-chlorians that drove the populace of Vjun insane, leading to their murder of each other in 29 BBY. One of the few survivors was the Viscountess Whirry Malreaux, whom gave her son, Whie Malreaux, to the Jedi Order so he could escape the horrors of his birthworld. Whirry remained on Vjun with her Force familiar, the Vjun fox Miss Vix. Droids such as the FIII Footman Droid and the R2-series were used as the workhorses of the Vjun population as they were rather more resilient to the highly acidic climate. Baste Castle In 20 BBY, Château Malreaux served as a hideout for Count Dooku in the Clone Wars. He took an old woman's house and invited Jedi Master Yoda to come and save him from the dark side. In reality, Dooku had hoped to use the power of the dark side to destroy his former master. This failed when Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker showed up. The planet was where Darth Vader's personal fortress, Bast Castle, resided. It had concentrated acid rain and the fortress was well guarded by many of Vader's best troops, including the legendary Dark Troopers. Heading Content Here.
