Overview
Onderon is a temperate planet in the Inner Rim, covered in dense jungle and crossed by mountains. Its capital, Iziz, is a walled city, and the wilderness outside the walls is full of large, dangerous beasts[1].
Its people, the Onderonians, are mostly human. The native beasts include the dalgo and the tee-muss, and the planet is also home to large pack animals called fambaa[1]. Onderon lies in the Japrael sector and appears in The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch.

Role in the galaxy
Onderon is a story of occupation and resistance.

Under the Empire, Onderon sees another insurgency, again led by Saw[1][2].
