    Serenno

    Located deep within the borders of Separatist space was Serenno, Count Dooku's home planet and site of his ancestral lands. When Dooku turned his back on the Jedi Order, he reclaimed his title, wealth and territory, moving his base of operations to a cliff-side palace with a commanding view of the lush forests of his homeworld. Heavily cordoned by Separatist warships, Serenno was kept insulated from the worst of the Clone Wars battles, giving it a deceptively tranquil air.

History

Count Dooku's citadel on Serenno

Dooku’s homeworld of Serenno served the Separatist leader as a base from which to plot military strikes and oversee the Separatist Senate on Raxus. Because of its strategic significance, Serenno was heavily defended by Separatist warships.

Darth Sidious commands Dooku

The lush world was a refuge where Dooku could meditate on the dark side of the Force, while answering to the sometimes confusing and capricious commands of his master, Darth Sidious.

  • Like all Sith, Sidious and Dooku constantly tested each other as master and apprentice. Disturbed by his apprentice’s relationship with Asajj Ventress, Sidious contacted Dooku on Serenno and ordered him to betray and abandon his assassin. Dooku reluctantly agreed.

  • Ventress survived her master’s betrayal and plotted with Dathomir’s Mother Talzin to get even with him. She led a team of Nightsister assassins to Serenno. Cloaked by spells, they attacked Dooku but failed to kill him.

  • Talzin then contacted Dooku on Serenno and offered him a Nightbrother from the far side of Dathomir to replace Ventress as his servant. Wary after his close call, Dooku agreed to the Nightsister matriarch’s offer.

  • Talzin arrived on Serenno with Savage Opress, a massive warrior. Little did Dooku know that Savage had been handpicked by the Nightsisters and shaped into a killing machine meant to betray the count.

  • Dooku took Savage as his new apprentice, brutally training him in lightsaber combat and the ways of the dark side.

  • Dooku’s regimen was harsh and pitiless for a reason – Savage would only unlock the power of the dark side of the Force by allowing himself to be consumed by fear, rage, and pain.

  • Having taught Savage to draw upon the dark side for power, Dooku sent him from Serenno to destroy the count’s enemies. Savage killed King Katuunko on Toydaria and massacred the Temple of Eedit’s defenders on Devaron before fleeing a three-way battle with Dooku and Ventress and seeking refuge in the Outer Rim.

  • As part of an elaborate plot of Darth Sidious’s, Dooku summoned some of the galaxy’s best bounty hunters to compete in a test of skill. The contest was held on Serenno, in a treacherous facility created by Moralo Eval and known as the Box.

  • The hunters who passed Dooku’s test were Derrown, Embo, Twazzi, Cad Bane and Rako Hardeen (secretly a disguised Obi-Wan Kenobi). The hunters and Eval then traveled from Serenno to Naboo, where they planned to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

  • Dooku had not forgotten his betrayal by the Nightsisters. He summoned General Grievous to Serenno and ordered him to lead a massive assault on Dathomir, destroying Talzin’s clan.

  • Grievous did as instructed, but the Nightsisters used their magic to inflict terrible pain on Dooku, reaching across the light-years between Dathomir and Serenno. The count was saved when Grievous killed the Nightsister matriarch Old Daka, breaking the spell.

  • When a clone trooper’s implant malfunctioned, causing him to murder his Jedi General, Dooku worked frantically on Serenno to prevent the Jedi from discovering the true purpose of the clone armies they led. Dooku contacted the Kaminoans, directing them to hide evidence from the Jedi.

  • The Sith managed to keep the Jedi in the dark about the clones’ purpose, but Sidious flew into a rage when the Jedi discovered clues to the fate of Sifo-Dyas, the long-dead Jedi in whose name the clone army had been created. Sidious used the Force to choke Dooku in his sanctum on Serenno so he understood the price of failure.

  • After Quinlan Vos and Ventress failed to assassinate Dooku on Raxus, the count captured Vos and took him back to Serenno, where he tormented him in hopes of turning him to the dark side.

  • Ventress hired Boba Fett’s crew of bounty hunters to help rescue Vos from Serenno. The rescue mission succeeded, but Vos had seemingly been seduced by Dooku. A heartbroken Ventress fled Serenno with the hunters she’d hired.

  • Count Dooku

    default

    Count Dooku

    Count Dooku was a menacing Sith Lord and central figure in the Clone Wars. Once a Jedi -- trained by Yoda -- he became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and thirsted for greater power. Dooku voluntarily left the light side behind and became Darth Sidious’ dark side disciple, taking the secret name Darth Tyranus and leading the Separatist army. Dooku advanced Sidious’s secret plot to take over the galaxy, but forgot that betrayal is the nature of the Sith.

  • Savage Opress

    Savage Opress

    Savage Opress was once a common Nightbrother whose fighting prowess impressed Asajj Ventress. Transformed into a monstrous warrior by Mother Talzin, Opress became Count Dooku's new assassin and secret Sith apprentice. His loyalty, however, remained to Talzin. The Nightsisters leader gave Savage a new quest: to find his brother, Darth Maul, who had somehow survived his apparent death and was living in exile in the Outer Rim. Savage located Maul and became his brother’s enforcer in the Shadow Collective, but died when Darth Sidious confronted the two Sith warriors on Mandalore.

  • Moralo Eval

    Moralo Eval

    Conniving even for Phindian standards, Moralo Eval earned a loathsome reputation as a heartless murderer at a young age. As a boy, he killed his mother, telling authorities he did it because he was "bored." A lifetime spent as a criminal and a fugitive gave Eval a sharp survival instinct, and he had impressive technical and engineering skills. Life on the run may have also left him deranged; Moralo's odd mannerisms included talking about himself in the third person. During the Clone Wars, reports surfaced that Moralo was working with Count Dooku, possibly plotting to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine.

  • Asajj Ventress

    Asajj Ventress

    A former Jedi Padawan turned assassin, Asajj Ventress was trained in the ways of the dark side by Count Dooku. For many years, she yearned to be considered a true Sith, secretly acting as Dooku’s apprentice. During the time of the Clone Wars, Ventress fought for the Separatists, clashing with Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker with her twin red-bladed lightsabers. But after Dooku was ordered to dispose of Asajj and left her for dead, Ventress returned to her Nightsister clan to exact her revenge. In time, Ventress reinvented herself as a bounty hunter and reclaimed her identity, neither a Sith nor a Jedi.

    Confederacy of Independent Systems

    The Confederacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatist Alliance, was a collection of star systems and corporate titans that left the Republic and fought for independence against the Republic’s clone armies and Jedi Knights. The charismatic former Jedi Count Dooku was the Alliance’s political leader, while its military power came from credits and assets donated by powerful galactic trade groups. No one suspected that the Alliance was actually a tool of Darth Sidious, who had engineered the Clone Wars as part of a Sith plot to rule the galaxy.

  • Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    A legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a noble man and gifted in the ways of the Force. He trained Anakin Skywalker, served as a general in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars, and guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor.
