- "Before you await the heavenly Seikara Caverns, where inspiration is sure to strike. This gorgeous cave system stretches ten kilometers through cathedrals of solemn bloomstone and subterranean valleys of lush bioluminescent foliage."
- ―Eternity Enterprises tour holo
The Seikara Caverns cave system was located in the Dekien sea on the planet Dekien in the Outer Rim. Seikara was classified by the Empire as an uncivilized world prior to the Sith rebellion. After the Dark Lord of the Sith who led the rebellion received a vision from the kyber mirror of Shinsui Temple, he shattered the mirror and turned on his fellow Sith. Known afterward as the Ronin, the former dark lord brought a kyber shard from Shinsui Temple to Seikara Caverns.[1]
The tour company Eternity Enterprises began selling luxury visits to the cave system.[1]

The Seikara Caverns appeared in the 2021 non-canon novel Ronin: A Visions Novel, by Emma Mieko Candon.[1] According to Candon, the caves were inspired by the Sơn Đoòng cave in Vietnam.[2] Like all names in the novel, "Seikara" is comprised of phonemes used in the Japanese language,[3] though the author does not remember the inspiration behind the name.[4]
