Carrion Plateau

The Carrion Plateau, known simply as the Carrion, was an area of wilderness on the planet Eriadu. It was owned by the Tarkin family and was used as a site for male Tarkins to prove themselves against the wilderness.
==Description==
The Carrion Plateau was an area of Eriadu that acted as a preserve for the planet's original ecosystem. The plateau was harsh and unforgiving and contained many species of dangerous native fauna such as the vicious felines and a species of veermok. The plateau was made up of grasslands and seasonal lakes as well as flat- topped mesas and more forested areas that had skinny deciduous trees, including some that were thousands of years old. Monolithic ruins and cliffside petroglyphs were also located in the area. The Tarkin family owned the plateau and used it to initiate family members. Initiates were required to survive for a period of time in the deadly environment, learning the merciless values of the Tarkin family.
==History==
===Imperial Era===
At some point in the Imperial Era, before the Battle of Yavin, Tarkin took Imperial officers Ellian Zahra, Beldin and Hannevik to the Carrion Plateau to find a protégé. When Tarkin's ship, carrying the 3 young officers, arrived to the area, Tarkin gave the 3 officers a lecture about the Carrion Plateau and how they were the first non- Tarkins in many generations. He later ordered them to hunt an albino veermok in twelve hours and show him its head or else he would leave the area without them. Before long, Zahra showed Tarkin its head and remarked how the other officers sent to hunt the creature were "unworthy." Impressed, Tarkin took Zahra to his ship and left the area.Star Wars (2020) 7
