"It's a fairly fortified compound, but nothing I haven't broken into before."

―Asajj Ventress, on the Black Sun fortress^[2]

The Black Sun fortress was a fortified compound built into a cliffside on the volcanic Outer Rim world of Mustafar. From within, a cabal of Falleen nobles led and operated the criminal syndicate known as the Black Sun during the Clone Wars^[1] and beyond.^[3] It was here that Maul and the Death Watch Mandalorians confronted the Black Sun leadership with an ultimatum to join the Shadow Collective, a criminal alliance set up and led by Maul.^[4] Although Black Sun abandoned Mustafar during the time of the Galactic Empire,^[5] it continued to be used during the New Republic Era.^[6] Pirate Queen Maz Kanata made reference to the fortress in her journal as the site from which the Black Sun leadership governed the syndicate.^[3]
