"I was younger than you are now. I was a prisoner. They made a work camp in the jungle. No droids, no beasts, just men and cargo."
―Saw Gerrera talking to Wilmon Paak about his time at the camp[1]

A work camp that operated in the jungles on Onderon sometime before the Clone Wars.[1] The human rebel Saw Gerrera was a prisoner at the camp sometime before he turned eighteen years old.[2] During Gerrera's time at the camp, it operated with 200 to 300 individuals without the use of droids or beasts of burden. Due to the extremes of the Onderon jungle the conditions at the camp were harsh and resulted in the workers clothes melting away thus forcing the workers to work naked. One day during his time there, there was a Rhydonium leak which caused everyone else in the camp, including the guards to run away. However the smell and itch caused by the Rhydonium was a new experience to Gerrera who became obsessed with it. Later calling it his sister when reciting the story to Wilmon Paak during a Rhydonium heist in 3 BBY.[1]
