Tython was a terrestrial planet located in Deep Core‘s Tython system that played a pivotal role in the history of the Jedi Order. A verdant world that was incredibly rich in the Force, Tython was eventually abandoned when the ever-changing hyperlanes in the region drifted away from the planet and became shrouded in myth. The Martyrium of Frozen Tears was built by Jedi there, and some Jedi scholars made the case that Tython was the site of the Jedi Order’s first temple. During the Galactic Civil War, Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra led Darth Vader to Tython’s Meridional Ice Cap to mislead him as to the location of the Rebel Alliance’s main base, which was actually on the Outer Rim planet Hoth.

Tython was a verdant, uninhabited, terrestrial planet located in the Tython system in the galaxy‘s Deep Core, positioned at the coordinates L-10 on the Standard Galactic Grid. It was orbited by at least two moons, with the primary being known as Ashla, and was incredibly rich in the Force. Areas on its surface included the Meridional Ice Cap. Tython was home to a number of native fauna, including beasts, birds, butterflies, and small mammals. Tython was covered in forests, grasslands, and mountains.

It shared its name with Tythonian pendants, Tythonian Mastery Tokens, and Jedha City‘s Tythoni Square.
