Portcullis entrance During the peak of the New Order, the Kala'uun Spaceport, a Ryloth spaceport, existed under the dominion of the Shak clan.
As with every Twi'lek settlement, its placement resided along the terminator, the boundary separating the light and dark hemispheres of the planet, a position that provided some degree of warmth. Nevertheless, due to the turbulence resulting from the mingling of cold air from the dark side and hot air from the light side, pilots had to exercise caution when approaching the spaceport.
Adding to the peril, Kala'uun was constructed within the elevated reaches of a massive rock spire, a component of the Lonely Five mountain range. A sentinel was constantly stationed to detect any approaching heat storm before it could inflict harm on the spaceport. A substantial reservoir, located deep within the spaceport's infrastructure, contained the entire water supply necessary for the facility's upkeep.
