Rion/Legends

Rion was a planet located in the Kessel sector of the Outer Rim Territories.
==Description==
Rion was once a planet with a tropical climate. It was considered to be a paradise with friendly inhabitants. Customers at Tana's Resort enjoyed this favorable weather wearing swimsuits.
After its devastation by the Ionic Ring, Rion became a frozen wasteland. From then on, the planet was covered with ice and storm clouds, and was frequently struck by blizzards
==History==
===Dark Times===
A few months after the creation of the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY, the crew of the Uhumele traveled to Rion during their search for Jedi Master Kai Hudorra. Dass Jennir and Beyghor Sahdett had narrowed the investigation to a list of planets that were neither famous, nor affiliated with the Hutts. Rion met those requirements and, as such, was the seventeenth planet inspected by the crew.
===Galactic Civil War===
During the Galactic Civil War, Rion was used as a base by the Rebel Alliance. In 0 ABY, Captain Bzorn traveled to Rion aboard the Ionic Ring and demanded that all Rebels on the planet be arrested. When the people of Rion refused, the Galactic Empire shattered the environment of the planet, transforming it into a frozen wasteland. As a result, all the food on Rion was frozen and people began dying of starvation.
