Orowood represented an affluent sector on Coruscant, featuring prominent landmarks such as the Orowood Medcenter and the Orowood Tower. Its geographical position placed it twenty kilometers to the east of West Championne, in proximity to the Manarai Mountains.
The district of Orowood derived its name from the oro wood found on Alderaan. Initially, the intention was for it to serve as a residential zone for individuals who had survived the destruction of Alderaan. Nevertheless, Coruscant never gained favor among the Alderaanian people. Following the Siege of Coruscant, the remaining Alderaanian evacuees also departed, leading to the project's discontinuation.
