Ossus
Ossus is a fabled planet that was once a stronghold of the Jedi order, seat of the Great Library of Ossus and the Eye of Ashlanae, and many other places of tranquility and power. But Ossus was all but destroyed when the nearby Cron cluster detonated in a supernova, and the once verdant world turned into a ruined wasteland, ravaged by strange lightning storms that did little to remedy the incessant droughts. Worse still, the supernova disrupted the hyperspace routes, and what was once a site of pilgrimage turned into an isolated place almost none could reach. Many of the Jedi who survived the cataclysm got stranded on the planet, and might have become the ancestors of its savage natives, the Ysanna, who are said to be a remarkably Force-sensitive lot. To this day, thousands of years hence, they guard the planet's Jedi temple ruins with a religious fervor.
Bold treasure hunters sometime try to reach Ossus from Foran Tutha and other nearby worlds, but it's a dangerous undertaking at best, though rumors persists that there is a way for Force-sensitive beings to find a secret, and safer, path through the Cron drift. For the galaxy at large, Ossus has long since passed into legend, and many would even doubt that it ever existed at all.
