Legend

this was the only permanent settlement established by the Korunnai of the planet Haruun Kal. It was located atop the Korunnal Highland, and served as the planet's capital city. During the Clone Wars, the Balawai leadership of Pelek Baw sided with the Separatists, a fact that rankled in the mind of Jedi Master Mace Windu. His anger was crystallized into action when it was discovered that the Separatists had placed their droid control unit deep beneath the city, in a secure bunker. From this location, the Separatists were able to defend their positions in the Al'Har System, until Master Windu and his ragtag Korunnai forces managed to breach the bunker and shut the system down. During the battle, much of the city was leveled by fire from both sides of the battle, and witnesses said it resembled the caldera of a volcano afterward.
