The '''Fortress of Hijarna''' was the last stronghold of an ancient alien civilization. It was made of what was dubbed [[Hijarna stone]], similar to the [[Hand of Thrawn]] on [[Nirauan/Legends|Nirauan]], leading some to believe the two structures were related. It was discovered by the [[Fifth Alderaanian Expedition]], which discovered the one thousand-year old remains of its creator's civilization, which had apparently fallen to alien invaders. Scientists speculated on the role of the fortress, with some believing it was a last-ditch defense against whatever devastated [[Hijarna]], and others believing it was the stronghold of the invaders.

The Fortress was used as a rendezvous point by the [[Smuggler/Legends|smuggling]] organization of [[Talon Karrde]], who assembled the leaders of the [[Smugglers' Alliance]] at the Fortress to plan locating a [[crystal gravfield trap]] for the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]]. At the meeting, [[Niles Ferrier]] was revealed as a traitor.
