Surrounded by a lethal ring of asteroids and meteors, Roon was located in an Outer Rim Territories system of the same name. Other notable planets in the Roon system included the searing rock planet of Kaloo (which was moonless) and the barren rock world Iqoon (which had two moons).
Like nearby Ryloth, Roon only rotated on its axis once every orbit around the sun, rendering one side constantly bright and the other side constantly dark. Unlike Ryloth, however, the lit side of the world was not scorching, nor was the dark side frigid; this phenomenon may be due to cloud cover, or an extensive ozone layer. Whatever the reason, Roon long served as a staging point for spice smugglers coming from Ryloth.
Count Dooku sent troops to build a new homebase for his son to keep out of reach of his Master. He never saw it completed, LT. Thorne seen his dream finish and raise his son. Due to the power and resources that the Count put into development of the world, the Dooku family is regarded as a kind of royalty, but hold no formal political power.
