Dathomir

Dathomir was a remote planet in the Quelli sector of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories and the homeworld of the Dathomirian Zabraks. The planet, bathed in blood-red light by its central star, had numerous continents that were overrun with vegetation, forests of bent trees bearing large, cocoon-like fruit, and dense swamplands. The dark side of the Force had an immensely strong presence on Dathomir, which allowed for the nurturing of many malevolent Force wielders on the planet, notably the Nightsisters, also known as the Witches of Dathomir, who resided in stone fortresses and wielded magicks fueled by planet's power, taught to them by an entity known as the Witch-Queen. Dathomir was also home to the Nightbrothers, a clan of tattooed male Zabrak warriors who served the Nightsisters and resided in mountainous villages. It was also the homeworld of the semi-sentient rancor species. 
During the Clone Wars, Dathomir came under attack multiple times due to power struggles between Mother Talzin and the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Asajj Ventress, a Nightsister trained by Count Dooku, returned to Mother Talzin after her master betrayed her to prove his loyalty to Sidious. This drew Dooku's attention to Dathomir, who ordered a Separatist attack led by General Grievous on the planet, resulting in the slaughter of many Nightsisters and left Talzin, Ventress, and Merrin as the only known survivors. 
In 2 BBY, the former Sith Lord Maul returned to Dathomir with the Jedi rebel Ezra Bridger to conduct a ritual that involved summoning the spirits of fallen Nightsisters in order to reveal fragments of a holocron vision. As a result, Maul and Bridger learned that Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi held the key to destroy the Sith and resided on a planet with twin suns.
