Vedenica

Vedenica is a fictional city featured in the *Star Wars* expanded universe, primarily appearing in the *Star Wars: The Old Republic* (SWR) massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) and its associated media. Located in the Outer Rim Territories, Vedenica is a bustling spaceport and trade hub situated on the planet of Voss, near the Voss system. The city is known for its vibrant atmosphere, diverse population, and strategic importance as a transit point between the Core and Outer Rim.

Vedenica was originally established as a neutral trade outpost by the Republic during the Clone Wars, serving as a key location for merchants, smugglers, and travelers. Over time, it evolved into a cosmopolitan metropolis with a mix of Republic-aligned and independent factions. The city is home to various guilds, crime syndicates, and corporate interests, contributing to its reputation as a lawless yet economically vital center.

In *Star Wars: The Old Republic*, players can explore Vedenica as part of the game’s campaign and side quests. The city features distinct districts, including the bustling *Vedenica Spaceport*, the upscale *Vedenica High Society* area, and the more seedy *Vedenica Underbelly*, where black-market dealings and criminal activity thrive. The setting reflects the broader themes of the game, emphasizing political intrigue, corporate influence, and the struggle between the Republic and the emerging Empire.

Vedenica’s lore is further expanded in novels and comics, such as *Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire* and *Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Lost Lights of Voss*. These works delve into the city’s history, including its role in the fall of the Republic and its eventual incorporation into the Galactic Empire. The city’s fate reflects the broader narrative of the *Star Wars* universe, where once-independent worlds are assimilated into a centralized power structure.

While Vedenica no longer appears in the main *Star Wars* canon following the 2014 *Star Wars* continuity reboot, it remains a notable part of the prequel-era lore, offering insights into the political and social dynamics of the galaxy before the rise of the Empire. Its depiction in *The Old Republic* continues to influence fan interpretations of the *Star Wars* universe.
