Once renowned were the Oro woods, trees originating from the planet Alderaan. Reaching heights of hundreds of feet, these trees displayed rainbow-hued, luminescent lichen across their bark. Their growth was limited to just a small number of islands, around twelve, and they faced extinction when the first Death Star obliterated Alderaan, despite efforts to relocate some to Coruscant. The oro woods were the habitat of creatures such as red deer and the avian species known as cairoka birds.
The name of Orowood on Coruscant was derived in tribute to these trees.
