I remember reading the Revan novel and getting a chill down my spine when Revan visited Nethema. It did such a great job describing what a world without the Force was like. Totally dead, not a single sound save for Revan’s steps and the wind. Truly a ghost world where even the spirits of the slain remain silent
A horror themed Star Wars series would be bad ass. There’s so many creepy ideas that are touched on but basically never depicted. I especially like the Anzati, who are essentially vampires but with the wonderfully schlocky retro science fiction twist of drinking brains, rather than blood.
I liked the zombies from the black wing virus. Yes we need some Star Wars horror!! I remember reading death troopers and thinking it should be a movie.
Bro, you should read the story of when Legends Obi-Wan and Bail Organa were sent to Korriban by the Chancellor. It reads like a supernatural psychological horror.
@@RoTenken I don't think that's a good idea. The force from her could permeate and revitalize the planet. Possibly reshaping it in her image and use it as a vessel.
@@UnifiedEntity Percisely. IF she were to (or could) do it, she would have to pull from her own energies, weakening her into dormancy. The trick is isolate The entire planet of Nelthemia in the type of storm that contained her in the Maw....a difficult feat, even for The Children of The Force.
Korriban, Dromund Kaas, Malachor and Nathema are some of my favorite planets in all of star wars, each so terribly corrupted and drowned in darkness in their own way
There is a planet way worse than those, Mug Fallow. Home to the most disturbing being in all of Star Wars, even worse than Abeloth. A sentient ooze like substance called the Mnggal-Mnggal.
@@princeofpokemon2934 oh wow, I looked into it and goddammit, sounds like a combination of the X-Parasites from Metroid with the Mind Flayer from stranger things and lovecraftian horror. I love it.
Tython 2 hundred years before darth bane killed everyone was also a very scary place, one sith created mech zombies aka technobeasts and unleashed it upon the galaxy
I'm pretty sure it was just the one spot on Dagobah, the cave where Yoda had defeated a Sith, that was dark side strong. Yoda lived near the cave so that, from a distance, he and the cave would cancel each other out to observers.
@@chrisc6857 Starkiller even freaked out because the cave was creepy af and powerful in the force and if this little green dude was chilling next to it without issue, he must've been something else. We all know Galen marek was only 1 tier bellow Yoda, Sidous and Vader. But it goes to show that the upper echelon are really something else in Star Wars, even to someone almost on their level.
To be fair. The Sith were able to harness the never ending thunderstorm to power their cities. They built spires which the lightning would strike and the resulting power was significant enough to power their main spaceport.
I love the legacy Malachor. It wasn't a planet of the dark side it was a metaphysical black hole. It took everything from force wielders their hopes, compassion inner piece. The reason so many fell to the dark side is beside the dark side was the last thing to be sucked out of them as their despair and anger took over.
I love the writing for this video. You wrote it like a holocron database and it made me feel like I was in the Star Wars universe. Tbh I guess if there wasn’t misinformation and censorship TH-cam would the perfect place for human chronicles when later traverse the stars but I digress. Thank you!
Until now, I didn't know there were so many corrupted planets in the Star Wars universe. I love learning about all the different planets and star systems, and even about the different species of flora and fauna! Very well done!
@@Archivist_of_Stupendous_Wave No that's not right, It was Meetra Surik commanded Bao-Dur to activate the Mass Shadow Generator(so technically Bao-Dur activated it), but Meetra was the one who have the order, not Revan.
The Force did exist on Nathema, there was even an order of force sensitives who lived there. Vaylin was trained by them. The world also healed itself after Tenebrae's death.
It didnt really exist, it was there because of Vitiate. That was the place Tenebrae was in when he conducted the Ritual, leaving that little space the only place where there was a little bit of Force left. Also for the reason because he wanted to conduct experiments there and store some valueable holocrons.
I think you missed one or at least could listed as a honorable mention which is the planet of Dagobah. It’s also a Darkside Nexus in which yoda was hiding in
I’d switch that with abeloth’s planet, not only did it have corrupted plants and animals but it has the two most powerful force nexuses (the font of power and pool of knowledge) as well
I need a horror themed star wars, like imagine a planet where a jedi falls and a low tech society finds his lightsaber which is like controlling the ultimate power for this pre bronze age society. A war ensues and the welders of the lightsabers are always corrupted by the idea of having ultimate power and can basically get whatever they want because everyone is too scared to oppose them. This could go on for centuries and end with the jedi discovering the horror of this planet and trying to decide to destroy it or not.
Korriban also doesn’t offer much in the way of artifacts or power. Darth Bane found the Valley of the Dark Lords to be a barren wasteland, with little more to offer a Sith Lord than a rich history. And you forgot that it’s a radioactive hellhole on top of everything else.
the Force is usually considered "life" itself in the lore, i forgot who said it but the Force is everywhere even in rocks, plants and animals. Vitiate, Nihilus and even Maetra Surik devoured lifeforce to become stronger. Id imagine most planets are either rich or poor in the Force, and aligned one way or another, but Nathema was a void of that.
When I was a kid I read this book called Star Wars Galaxy of Fear Eaten Alive. The whole book revolves around a planet whose name I cannot remember or even if it had a name. Many people came here for some reason. Maybe it was a popular tourist site, a vacation spot, or a refueling center for ships. What ever the reason many people came here and many people went missing. Nobody knows why people went missing except for the inhabitants of this planet. Later on almost all the visitors on the disappeared. The last survivors on the planet learned that the planet itself was alive and that it swallowed people whole and consumed them. The inhabitants of the planet knew this, in fact they lure people to this planet so that the planet can feed while they feed on it. The inhabitants of this planet had long tongues which they used to suck nutrients out of the planet. I don’t know what happened in the end but what I do know is that the planet some how survived and continues to prey on unwary travelers. This planet makes the Sarlac Pit look like a nice puppy.
The Most DISTURBING Planets In All of Star Wars: And I'm just sitting here like Admiral Trench home world must be in the list... a planet full of humanoid spiders
I like the Unknown World of Rakata because that is where Darth Bane found a holicron of Darth Revan even after Korriban had been stripped of all ancient Dark Side relics.
Thank you for the data Stupendous. We will be careful. I will let other ships and commanders and crews to be careful also. Especially Nethema. Let us know if there are more warnings. May the Force be with you too :)

@@WilliamAGould Agreed. All for the message of political correctness. I hate Filoni's Force Witches. I like the Witches and the Nightsisters and Gethzerion from the EU.

Imagine a dead world where all of the rivers and oceans were replaced with the mnggal mnggal liquid and nothing else, apart from a ring of captured space ships, barges and whatever else this horrid being could gather for its amusement.
the reason why passing starships have not registered with the station is because all ur base are belong to us. Yield to the dark side or be annihilated. You have no chance to survive, make your time.
Even though you left out quite a few planets for brevity one minor nitpick is its Nathema not Nethema and during the Old Republic times it began healing and life returned. To my knowledge it has not been reintroduced into canon or at least shown what it's like there now (correct me if I'm wrong) but it may just be (if the trend continued and no more events happened) more of a planet like Yavin V. Lots of jungle with a few dark side areas...
There are still many beautiful planets and also rich in history and dark power such as Rakata Prime, which is so tropical and colourful planet which still manage after 30 millenias to keep it's force or Dagobah which is full of dark side, but it's not corrupted; but no planet will ever stand to be as dead and corrupted like Medriaas; that planet was in it's very form dangerous, before Tenebrae will destroy it; Medriaas was a hollow in the force, a FOREVER DEAD SPIRIT, none like any other being that died ( not gonna say that many strong forces wilders can become ghosts and reappear when it's need it). It's important to realise that Medriaas was dead after Zildrog consume EVERYTHING but itself and the emperor, letting the whole planet drained; the problem was that it become to be again a life-vegetation planet ONLY AFTER the emperor was killed, something that, as an example didn't happened to Ziost, which like Medriaas was eaten completely... so Tenebrae homeland where the spirit 1st was born, and also where the 1st body of the emperor stood for over 2 millenias, was the reason why Scourge or even Vaylen were mentaly damaged, that MEN, THAT CREATURE OF EMPEROR WAS THE DEAD ITSELF, AS LONG AS THAT MEN STOOD SOMEWHERE, THAT PLACE WILL BE DEAD, all of them, Dromud Kaas, Ziost, Zakuul, where that men stept something has to die and will stand dead until it's gone... Star Wars lore, esp the ancient one is beyond amazing!!!!!! All of it!
It's kinda interesting how as someone who's really into Warhammer 40k, all these planets seem really tame with an outside looking in perspective. When you get used to planets like Catachan where everything is hostile to human life or Fedris with its below freezing temperatures and city sized krakens, hearing of a planet with eternal thunderstorms or ravenous beasts doesn't seem that bad of a planet to be on.
First video of yours ive ever watched, only just got through the intro and i gotta say, i adore how your intro is set in the Star Wars universe, as if you’re actually reading from a holocron
I actually consider Korriban to be a beautiful planet. I remember when I played SWTOR, Korriban had all these temples, statues, and desert landscapes & I remember getting ancient Egypt vibes. It's a shame it changed the way it did. It feels surreal seeing it in ruins in TCW. It took me a while to realize that Korriban & Moriband are the same planet.
I wonder if Dathomir was so strong in the dark side by the time of the Nightsisters because it was so strong in the light under the Kwa? Darth Bane did muse that the two sides cycle.
Ruusan where darth bane tricked darth kaan and the other members of the dark brotherhood into creating and detonating the thought bomb would also be a good candidate for this list!
By the time period of the movies and the clone wars there isn't much left on Moraband except long forgotten relics berried deep beneath crumbling ruins; There is barely anything left even of the Valley of the Dark Lords as it got bombarded into oblivion three millennia prior to 1BBY. The planet also is completely unpopulated apart from the occasional dark force tryhard drifter. Just for time scale, the difference in time between when it was being used as the site of a Sith Academy and the events of the Clone wars is the same distance of time between our modern day and the time period of the Egyptian New Kingdom.
Dromund Kaas was unique, because of the continued lighning. And the ligntnings spires which provided energy to the inhabitants. In essence the populace used the emperor and his dark lords and the dark temple as an energy source. So much electricity already there. It is a dreamland of cheap household energy. Of course you have to deal with an abundance of obnoxious sith lords, but energy is cheap!
Dathomir used to have other clans of witches, light-side aligned ones, and the planet was a force nexus of the Living Force, a neutral and balanced form of force use. It used to be a verdant and primal paradise world of jungles and savannahs. That changed when the Empire came.
I never played all the way through Knights of the Old Republic, but learning about how "wounds in the force" form makes the OT more interesting. Specifically, it's almost like the force was almost apathetic to everything going on until the Death Star was completed. Before completion of the DS, it just quietly moved chess pieces around. After completion and especially after Alderaan was destroyed, it forced people together and played a much larger role in manipulating/guiding events in favor of the DS's destruction. Although Disney did away with all Legends canon, the only way I can enjoy the insane progression of events and powers in the ST is the same response to wounds in the force being created. Starkiller Base could destroy whole systems at once, so it makes sense that the tools of the force (lol) saw more intense upgrades and lore-breaking happenstance. Of course, Disney did not seem to go for this route implicitly or explicitly, as literally nobody seems to shed a tear for the loss of 12 planets (idrc about the actual number, because it's shown for 3 seconds).
I would say Malachor V, Byss, Dromuund Kaas, Nathema, and Korriban would be my top corrupted planets, Malachor V and Nathema are still completely dead, Byss was completely taken over by the Dark Side, and Korriban and Dromuund Kaas were unbelievably corrupted beyond redemption
There was another such world consumed as Nathema was (well, technically two): Kataar, destroyed by Nihilus after he was lured there by Atris. And Ziost, another Sith capitol world consumed by Vitiate on his way past the system to reinhabit his Valkorion host.
I never knew that Revan during fought the Mandolorian war and created Darth Nihlus by destroying Malachor 5 . This Revan guy is just about everywhere in Star Wars lore lol...
The planet of Nathema. If you visit that planet, make sure to bring with you good music to listen to, like Promise (Reprise), Koyaanisqatsi, music from The Binding of Isaac, and other dark, eerie, or sad music to reflect on how a planet could become so void of the force.
just curious are there any like light side kinds of magic kinda like sith alchemy and the night sisters magic would make a great video to watch also a video on the second home world for Zabraks would be nice to know more about it since i don't really see many videos about it and my knowledge for it only goes as far as it being different then Dathomir
Interesting... i always wondered after kotor 2 did vader knew about such abilities when he said: The power to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force.
Nathema is truly terrifying...I always considered that, THAT was the ultimate enemy of both the Sith & Jedi alike: The Fate of Nathema. It's utter Absence. It's utter void. Preventing a repeat of Nathema, is after all the one thing that had a Sith, a Jedi and I would argue the first Grey User Revan all fighting together against one foe. Vitiate was no one to scoff at. It's also where Darth Kreia found a way to slowly destroy The Force itself, I mean the Dark Side is a part of The Force this is ...something that Threatens ALL of The Force, including the Dark Side..which is terrifying! It's like it comes from that "Other" that powers the "flower plague" in Red Harvest....it makes the Dark Side look young and vulnerable and THAT. That is scary. Korriban has more life and even Unlife then Nathema. Nathema is....the home of NOTHING.
Got an idea to fix Tatooine and Kamino at the same time. I'm going too use a sheild to cool the planet (similar to what was done to dathomir my Zinj) turning it back into it ancient ice age state and than start to mine the Ice and transport it to tatooine and melt it their
Facinating, exegol is not nearly as dangerous as these are, as nothing is actually there to attack but perhaps at ancient times such as the times of darth sanguis it would have made it to the list, as it shows it traps even the most powerful dark siders under its will making them eternal servants and monsters giving them teh immortality they longed for, which sounds absolutely terrifying yet korriban at the old republic era would have you instantly killed, enslaved or both while exegol is nearly impossible to find. The jedi of the old republic era were strong enough to cease the planet's rule by the sith for a time yet the sith took it back so i can see why it is far more dangerous, the number of sith is terrifying as well and not to forget the disasterous beasts that lived at the time such as vitiate and malgus, but i think exegol is still a good choice
Would it be possible to get information on Kalakar Six? Particularly Baron Yorn and his followers? I grew up hearing that story from Star Wars Tales. Thanks, love the vids!
Feels like you left out quite a few: Yavin IV - the temples that the Rebels used were once related to the dark side I think Mustafar - was once a completely different planet before it was turned into a hellscape by the dark side Coruscant - the Jedi Temple is built atop a dark side temple, partially explaining why Palpatine made it his palace Dagobah - there was some dark side structure where Luke had his vision of dueling Vader Ilum (maybe?) - once a benevolent planet where young Jedi would receive their Kyber crystals, taken over by the First Order/dark side and turned into a superweapon (destroyed many NR planets)
I got to say I love your channel as much as I love Star Wars legends as opposed to Canon as it stands today😢. I remember when canon was the sweetest thing for Star Wars back when Mayfair was still making a George Lucas canon RPG.
Interesting to think that there was an atrocity so terrible as to create a schism within the Sith order. Not saying they were good necessarily, but apparently some Sith still had a moral standard.
not quite; there have been schisms within the Sith for just about their entire history, except the Rule of 2 period; it's just that the Emperor was so powerful that to go against him was to sign your own death warrant; he was capable of essence transference, as in, transferring basically his soul into other bodies; btw this isn't Palpatine, this is Vitiate, a good 3000 years or more before Palpatine
@@CorvusCorone68 no an ideological schism of the type mentioned there was different from the various Sith infighting and civil wars that went on pretty much constantly.
I visited Nethena and i finally decided to end its suffering by destroying it with my Eclipse SSD (but I upgraded the superlaser to be as powerful as the deathstar)
I remember reading the Revan novel and getting a chill down my spine when Revan visited Nethema. It did such a great job describing what a world without the Force was like. Totally dead, not a single sound save for Revan’s steps and the wind. Truly a ghost world where even the spirits of the slain remain silent

Visit? How about imprison her in it????

I actually consider Korriban to be a beautiful planet. I remember when I played SWTOR, Korriban had all these temples, statues, and desert landscapes & I remember getting ancient Egypt vibes. It's a shame it changed the way it did. It feels surreal seeing it in ruins in TCW. It took me a while to realize that Korriban & Moriband are the same planet.
I wonder if Dathomir was so strong in the dark side by the time of the Nightsisters because it was so strong in the light under the Kwa? Darth Bane did muse that the two sides cycle.
5:19 anyone else see Voldemort's face on the moon.
Ruusan where darth bane tricked darth kaan and the other members of the dark brotherhood into creating and detonating the thought bomb would also be a good candidate for this list!
I’m surprised that you didn’t include abeloth’s planet
By the time period of the movies and the clone wars there isn't much left on Moraband except long forgotten relics berried deep beneath crumbling ruins; There is barely anything left even of the Valley of the Dark Lords as it got bombarded into oblivion three millennia prior to 1BBY. The planet also is completely unpopulated apart from the occasional dark force tryhard drifter. Just for time scale, the difference in time between when it was being used as the site of a Sith Academy and the events of the Clone wars is the same distance of time between our modern day and the time period of the Egyptian New Kingdom.
The Force and life did eventually return to Nathuma after the final death of Tenebre
Dromund Kaas was unique, because of the continued lighning. And the ligntnings spires which provided energy to the inhabitants. In essence the populace used the emperor and his dark lords and the dark temple as an energy source. So much electricity already there. It is a dreamland of cheap household energy. Of course you have to deal with an abundance of obnoxious sith lords, but energy is cheap!
@The Stupendous Wave Please add Ziost and Oricon too in that list
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Oricon.
I’m surprised that abeloth’s planet was mentioned either
Unknown to all, Tatooine has been secretly reproducing itself over millennia in a bid to outcompete all other planets.
Dathomir used to have other clans of witches, light-side aligned ones, and the planet was a force nexus of the Living Force, a neutral and balanced form of force use. It used to be a verdant and primal paradise world of jungles and savannahs. That changed when the Empire came.
Mitochondria VS midichlorian
I never played all the way through Knights of the Old Republic, but learning about how "wounds in the force" form makes the OT more interesting. Specifically, it's almost like the force was almost apathetic to everything going on until the Death Star was completed. Before completion of the DS, it just quietly moved chess pieces around. After completion and especially after Alderaan was destroyed, it forced people together and played a much larger role in manipulating/guiding events in favor of the DS's destruction.
Although Disney did away with all Legends canon, the only way I can enjoy the insane progression of events and powers in the ST is the same response to wounds in the force being created. Starkiller Base could destroy whole systems at once, so it makes sense that the tools of the force (lol) saw more intense upgrades and lore-breaking happenstance. Of course, Disney did not seem to go for this route implicitly or explicitly, as literally nobody seems to shed a tear for the loss of 12 planets (idrc about the actual number, because it's shown for 3 seconds).
Play KOTOR games, Specially the sith lords one you won't regret it. You can first hand see Korriban and Malachor V. The stories are AMAZING.
I would say Malachor V, Byss, Dromuund Kaas, Nathema, and Korriban would be my top corrupted planets, Malachor V and Nathema are still completely dead, Byss was completely taken over by the Dark Side, and Korriban and Dromuund Kaas were unbelievably corrupted beyond redemption
the last one is incredibly well done worldbuilding.
lucas created a world with concepts only lovecraft would understand or be able to put in non-words
Avoid?
Oh, no, no, no.
This is my travel guide, extreme galactic sightseeing.
There was another such world consumed as Nathema was (well, technically two): Kataar, destroyed by Nihilus after he was lured there by Atris. And Ziost, another Sith capitol world consumed by Vitiate on his way past the system to reinhabit his Valkorion host.
Part 2 PLEASEEEE!!!
I never knew that Revan during fought the Mandolorian war and created Darth Nihlus by destroying Malachor 5 . This Revan guy is just about everywhere in Star Wars lore lol...
To say that my birth planet is disturbing is an understatement.
The planet of Nathema. If you visit that planet, make sure to bring with you good music to listen to, like Promise (Reprise), Koyaanisqatsi, music from The Binding of Isaac, and other dark, eerie, or sad music to reflect on how a planet could become so void of the force.
just curious are there any like light side kinds of magic kinda like sith alchemy and the night sisters magic would make a great video to watch also a video on the second home world for Zabraks would be nice to know more about it since i don't really see many videos about it and my knowledge for it only goes as far as it being different then Dathomir
Interesting... i always wondered after kotor 2 did vader knew about such abilities when he said: The power to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force.
Dromund Kass and Nethema are two dark side nexuses all time love it 🥰🥰 🤩🤩🥰
Why didn’t you mention Mugg Fallow, the homeworld of Mnggal-Mnggal?
Nathema was named Medriaas according to Lord Dramath
And it did eventually recover after vitiate was finally killed
Nathema is truly terrifying...I always considered that, THAT was the ultimate enemy of both the Sith & Jedi alike: The Fate of Nathema. It's utter Absence. It's utter void. Preventing a repeat of Nathema, is after all the one thing that had a Sith, a Jedi and I would argue the first Grey User Revan all fighting together against one foe. Vitiate was no one to scoff at. It's also where Darth Kreia found a way to slowly destroy The Force itself, I mean the Dark Side is a part of The Force this is ...something that Threatens ALL of The Force, including the Dark Side..which is terrifying! It's like it comes from that "Other" that powers the "flower plague" in Red Harvest....it makes the Dark Side look young and vulnerable and THAT. That is scary. Korriban has more life and even Unlife then Nathema. Nathema is....the home of NOTHING.
Got an idea to fix Tatooine and Kamino at the same time. I'm going too use a sheild to cool the planet (similar to what was done to dathomir my Zinj) turning it back into it ancient ice age state and than start to mine the Ice and transport it to tatooine and melt it their
please, what is the name of music starting to play at 3:55
I liked the little bit of RP in the intro that was entertaining
Awesome vid. Thanks!
Facinating, exegol is not nearly as dangerous as these are, as nothing is actually there to attack but perhaps at ancient times such as the times of darth sanguis it would have made it to the list, as it shows it traps even the most powerful dark siders under its will making them eternal servants and monsters giving them teh immortality they longed for, which sounds absolutely terrifying yet korriban at the old republic era would have you instantly killed, enslaved or both while exegol is nearly impossible to find. The jedi of the old republic era were strong enough to cease the planet's rule by the sith for a time yet the sith took it back so i can see why it is far more dangerous, the number of sith is terrifying as well and not to forget the disasterous beasts that lived at the time such as vitiate and malgus, but i think exegol is still a good choice
I like how you make your vids immersive thank you
What is the creature in the thumbnail?
My Friend, I'm absolutely BANKING ON these kind of planets and locales (and even some new ones) to be depicted in Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew.
Would it be possible to get information on Kalakar Six? Particularly Baron Yorn and his followers? I grew up hearing that story from Star Wars Tales. Thanks, love the vids!
I sincerely hope you keep this Holocron based writing style its gripping at the get go
Is there anymore of these videos about the planets in the stars wars universe because this was very interesting
Awesome as always
How do you make such amazing thumbnails?
"most corrupted worlds"
Forgot to add Coruscant.
Feels like you left out quite a few:
Yavin IV - the temples that the Rebels used were once related to the dark side I think
Mustafar - was once a completely different planet before it was turned into a hellscape by the dark side
Coruscant - the Jedi Temple is built atop a dark side temple, partially explaining why Palpatine made it his palace
Dagobah - there was some dark side structure where Luke had his vision of dueling Vader
Ilum (maybe?) - once a benevolent planet where young Jedi would receive their Kyber crystals, taken over by the First Order/dark side and turned into a superweapon (destroyed many NR planets)
And let’s not forget Exegol.
Thats where the spirit of sith exar kun was
those arent "disturbing" planets though. Remember we are talking about extraordinary events that took place to shape the planet to what they are.
i know this might be strange but what kind of background music are you using in this video btw great work
I got to say I love your channel as much as I love Star Wars legends as opposed to Canon as it stands today😢. I remember when canon was the sweetest thing for Star Wars back when Mayfair was still making a George Lucas canon RPG.
With the death of mother Talzin, did that mean the end of the night sister?
I've been fascinated by Raxus Prime since the release of Force Unleashed. That's also a really messed up planet, but not by the Force, though....
Was it Dxun that Exar Kun built a Sith Temple on? It's been years since I've played KOTOR 2
Interesting to think that there was an atrocity so terrible as to create a schism within the Sith order. Not saying they were good necessarily, but apparently some Sith still had a moral standard.
not quite; there have been schisms within the Sith for just about their entire history, except the Rule of 2 period; it's just that the Emperor was so powerful that to go against him was to sign your own death warrant; he was capable of essence transference, as in, transferring basically his soul into other bodies; btw this isn't Palpatine, this is Vitiate, a good 3000 years or more before Palpatine
@@CorvusCorone68 no an ideological schism of the type mentioned there was different from the various Sith infighting and civil wars that went on pretty much constantly.
Don't worry I've been watching your Chanel for 6 years
I'm surprised that you didn't put the Dread Masters moon Oricon on your list.
Didn’t Meetra Surik become a Wound aswell though?
Not sure if I ever told you but the channel is way better now that you got your sound fixed and louder.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Byss
I visited Nethena and i finally decided to end its suffering by destroying it with my Eclipse SSD (but I upgraded the superlaser to be as powerful as the deathstar)
Hoth...... The entire planet became a frozen waste.
