Puloorn, enshrouded in snow, existed as a planet within the Spinward sector of the Outer Rim Territories. An ancient Sith temple, now in ruins, stood on this world, home to both cultists and beings warped by the dark side of the Force. Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, at one point sent a team of operatives on a mission to investigate the rumored temple on Puloorn.
The agents, arriving via their starship, confronted Puloorn's harsh environment before discovering the temple. Within its walls, they battled the temple's inhabitants and its defensive systems, eventually returning to Coruscant, the Republic's capital world.
Puloorn was a remote terrestrial planet, situated within the Puloorn system in the Spinward sector of the Outer Rim Territories. It was a cold world, perpetually covered in snow. Dark creatures, warped by the potent dark side of the Force emanating from the planet's Sith temple, had migrated there from other worlds.
A temple was constructed on Puloorn long ago by the Sith, an order of Force-users who embraced the dark side of the Force. In the distant future, the structure fell into ruin and was abandoned; the last official survey report of Puloorn made no mention of the temple's existence. Later, a cultist group established their base within the ruins.
Rumors of the Sith temple's existence on Puloorn prompted Palpatine, the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, to dispatch a team of agents on a mission to the planet sometime between 32 BBY and 19 BBY. The team consisted of Vor'en Kurn, a Human soldier, Deel Surool, a Twi'lek scoundrel, Sia-Lan Wezz, a Human Jedi, and Rorworr, a Wookiee scout. Their objective was to investigate the temple ruins on Puloorn. The team gathered the sparse information available about the planet, acquired the necessary supplies, and prepared their starship for the extended journey from Coruscant, the Core Worlds planet serving as the capital of the Galactic Republic.
Upon their arrival on Puloorn, the Chancellor's team had to contend with the planet's harsh environment while searching for the ruined temple. After confirming the structure's existence, the agents entered the temple. Inside, they faced the temple's defenses, the cultists, and the dark side-corrupted creatures that had taken residence in the ruins. The team eventually completed its mission, returned to their starship, and journeyed back to Coruscant.
Despite the presence of a Sith temple, an official survey report of Puloorn made no mention of any inhabitants or signs of civilization. By the time Supreme Chancellor Palpatine deployed agents to Puloorn, a cultist group had established a base in the temple ruins.
Puloorn was initially mentioned in the 2000 core rulebook for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game by Wizards of the Coast. Within the book, Puloorn is presented as the setting for a mission in a hypothetical roleplaying game adventure. This article assumes the scenario unfolds as described, with the player characters confronting all the challenges outlined in the section dedicated to Puloorn. The Essential Atlas, a reference book from 2009, located it in grid square L-17.
