Phon'Qi Caverns

OnACanonArticle

The Phon'Qi Caverns, also known as Phon'Qi's Caverns, were a series of caves underlying the Rambler's Reach Outpost and nearby Foothill Falls area on the Outer Rim planet Koboh. The caverns were the home of many endemic mysterious and unique organisms, including various fungal species. The caverns were named after a priorite prospector, Phon'Qi, who rediscovered the caverns after they were abandoned during the High Republic Era. While the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order researched the Koboh Abyss and the planet Koboh itself, they built a small installation in the caverns to monitor the planet's activity and study the unique fungal species. At some point, a stoic Jedi Padawan lamented the irony of studying the stars from underground, receiving chiding from her master. After the fall of Jedi Dagan Gera to the dark side of the Force, the Gen'Dai warrior Rayvis, who was in service to Gera, scoured the caverns for information on his master's whereabouts, slaughtering several Jedi and Padawans in the process. Their bodies were unceremoniously discarded in the caves.[1]

Unable to find his master, by 9 BBY[2] Rayvis and his group of Bedlam Raiders entrenched their presence in the caverns to continue searching for clues. The Raiders stationed some of their reprogrammed Separatist battle droids in the caverns. They also built a small depot in the caves, co-opting Republic facilities for their own uses, storing droid parts, weaponry, and other supplies.[1]

The caverns were dangerous for Koboh prospectors who dared explore the maze-like tunnels. The endemic bulbous fungi, which developed mouths, tongues, and touch sensation, would explode with extremely strong acid which could rapidly melt metal. These fungi gave off an acidic odor as well. In addition to the flora, the presence of Bedlam Raiders created significant risk. At some point before 9 BBY, a rancor took up residence in the caverns. Some speculated that the Bedlam Raiders lured it there, but regardless, the Raiders provided the rancor with a steady supply of humanoid victims to devour.[1]

Other installations in the Phon'Qi caverns included a network of turbolifts and a lattice-like series of rafters and buildings connecting their various dig sites.[1]
