Todays planet is Rattatak. Rattatak is a planet located in the outer rim systems. The planet features many mountainous regions and a harsh climate with little vegetation. The planets inhabitants include Rattataki and Weequay. Asajj Ventress slaughtered the warlords and appointed herself ruler over the Rattataki after her Jedi master was brutally murdered by Weequay raiders. Count Dooku discovered the young Asajj and took her under his wing and trained her to become a Sith Acolyte. Rattatak is one of the settings for Genndy Tartakovsky's Star Wars: Clone Wars Vol. 1, Chapter 6.

Today's planet is Moraband. Moraband (also known as Korriban) is the home world of both the Sith Order and Sith species. The planet mostly consists of red sand and mountain ranges. It was abandoned after centuries of war and conflict desolated the surface. It's original inhabitants, the Sith species, were incredibly violent and xenophobic. Naturally, this lead to conflict and allowed the planet to become a sort of haven for the dark side. The planet is in fact so infected by the dark side that only the strongest of Jedi can endure a pilgrimage. The last Sith Lord to be buried on the planets surface was Darth Bane. Darth Bane was infamous for establishing the rule of two within the Sith Order.
