Acherin

Back to List

Acherin was a planet that was the site of one of the last battles in the Clone Wars and a Separatist-held world.

The Jedi Commander of the Republic forces on Acherin was Garen Muln. He worked with the Separatists in negotiating a treaty near the end of the war, but then Order 66 was initiated. The Galactic Empire was formed and the Separatists decided to resist. Their base was the ancient city of Eluthan.

Nearly a year following the rise of the Empire, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ferus Olin, and Trever Flume landed on Acherin, trying to escape from Boba Fett. They encountered the leaders of the resistance, Raina Quill and Toma, and helped them flee the planet when Imperial forces, under Admiral Riwwel, began bombing Eluthan.

Acherin's terrain was made up of mostly canyons and plateaus as well as volcanic caves.
