{{Quote|I'm beginning to think everyone who comes from your planet is crazy!|Jan Ors to Kyle Katarn, regarding Sulon, witnessing Grif Grawley battle probe droid AD-43|Dark Forces: Jedi Knight audio drama}}
'''Sulon''' was a [[Moon/Legends|moon]] of [[Sullust/Legends|Sullust]] with a thriving agricultural program. The surface of the moon was covered with [[Droid/Legends|droid]]-tended fields. The moon was also the [[Homeworld/Legends|homeworld]] of [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] [[Kyle Katarn]].

Sulon was the headquarters of [[Sulon Incorporated]], a [[SoroSuub Corporation/Legends|SoroSuub]] subsidiary which utilized the underground areas of the moon for manufacturing and starport facilities. These underground facilities were where the most dangerous [[Sullustan/Legends|Sullustan]] explosives, weapons, and bacteriological testing was conducted, safely off of the surface of Sullust.

==History==
{{Quote|Damn that ''bounty hunter''! He's been on our tail ever since we left ''Sulon''. Why can't we ever keep these people in ''prison''?''"<br />"''Well, I ''did'' tell you not to exit the moon's atmosphere with the ''sun'' in your ''eyes''.|[[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Anakin Skywalker]]|<ref name="Outgunned">{{TCWUKCite|6.20|Outgunned}}</ref>}}
There was one known [[City/Legends|city]] on Sulon, which was [[Barons Hed]].

Sometime before [[1 BBY/Legends|1 BBY]] several Sulonese [[Farmer/Legends|farmers]], second and third-generation [[Colonist/Legends|colonists]], complained about [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] policies and eventually publicly gathered in the city of Barons Hed for a nonviolent demonstration. They scrambled before [[Imperial Military/Legends|Imperial forces]] reacted. To avoid embarrassment, the local [[Commandant/Legends|commandant]] resolved to the recorded [[holovid/Legends|holovids]] (and the collaboration of a traitor) to identify and hunt them. Soon, he sent [[All Terrain Armored Transport/Legends|All Terrain Armored Transports]] which [[Sulon massacre|massacred]] three families of the protester farmers in one night. Following this, [[Morgan Katarn]], leading figure in the resistance, gathered few hundreds of the participants, in order to hide and relocate them to [[Ruusan/Legends|another]] [[Planet/Legends|planet]].<ref>''[[Dark Forces: Rebel Agent]]''</ref>

During the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]], Morgan Katarn became a leader of the active [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel]] group on Sulon. Those tried to become independent of [[SoroSuub Corporation/Legends|SoroSuub Corporation]] energy plants. They attempted to make their own geothermal station at the [[Geothermal tap|G-Tap]] to gain some independence.

The ''[[Vengeance (Imperial-class, Jerec)|Vengeance]]'' was sent to [[Subjugation of Sulon|subjugate]] Sulon under the command of the mysterious [[Jerec (Inquisitor)|Jerec]] and a certain [[Captain/Legends|Captain]] [[Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Legends|Thrawn]]. The [[Ghost Battalion]] was sent to smash the Rebels.<ref>''[[Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire]]''</ref>

Following the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]], Imperial forces began a counterassault against the Rebels on Sulon, planning to drive the Alliance off the [[Moon/Legends|moon]], then to use it as a base of operations for attacking [[Sullust/Legends|Sullust]]. Entire Rebel cells and [[Brigade/Legends|brigades]] were killed and eventually, the Alliance ordered all their forces on Sulon to retreat. Those with access to [[Starship/Legends|starships]] fled immediately, but scores of Alliance personnel were left behind, so they made their way to [[Akkalo Station]], a small Imperial [[Spaceport/Legends|spaceport]], and captured it. The Alliance sent a [[Shuttle/Legends|shuttle]] to the port, to pick up the survivors, but the Imperials sent reinforcements to the station before the shuttle could arrive.<ref name="GAW" />

Jerec had served as the moon's [[Governor/Legends|governor]] for a short [[Time/Legends|time]], and Sulon later was under Jerec's jurisdiction after the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]]. Jerec and his [[Seven Dark Jedi|six companions]] had established [[Government House (Sulon)|a palace]], which [[Kyle Katarn]] [[Mission to Sulon|infiltrated]]. Kyle had his first victory against a [[Dark Jedi/Legends|Dark Jedi]] on Sulon, as he defeated [[Yun]] in the palace, though sparing his life.

[[Maw (Dark Jedi)|Maw]] garrisoned the moon with [[Grave Tuskens|Grave Tusken]] [[Mercenary/Legends|mercenaries]].

There is a discrepancy on the pronunciation of Sulon between two appearances. In a cut scene from ''[[Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II]]'', Kyle Katarn pronounces the name of the moon as '''Soo'''-''lawn''. Alternately, in the [[Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire audio drama|audio dramatization]] of ''[[Dark Forces: Soldier for the Empire]]'', the voice actors pronounce it '''suhl'''-''uhn''.
