Kachirho was a coastal Wookiee city on Kashyyyk that became the site of the Battle of Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars.
Characteristics
Kachirho was located on the Wawaatt Archipelago.
The city spiraled around the trunk of a 984-foot high wroshyr tree that sat in front of a large blue fresh-water lagoon. At the gates of the tree city, a carved archway read in Wookiee script -- Come in peace to our Home Tree Vikkilynn.
History
The leader of the city at the time of the Clone Wars was the Wookiee Tarfful, who had served for over a Human lifetime, roughly 100 years. The Claatuvac Guild was also based here.
It was chosen as the landing spot for the Separatists due to its wide open land areas, as opposed to many other cities on the planet, covered by thick foliage. When the alarm was sounded that the city would be attacked, thousands from other cities came via land and sea to Kachirho to protect it.
A few months later, when a group of six Jedi who had escaped Order 66, led by Olee Starstone, came to Kashyyyk, looking for any of the three Jedi that had been there when Order 66 had been issued. Tarfful fought against the Imperials when they invaded Kashyyyk but he was rounded up by the Empire and became a slave, destined to help build the Death Star.
During the Galactic Civil War, Kachirho was the only city on Kashyyyk that had a starport, due to the controlling Imperial forces.

Rwookrrorro
Rwookrrorro was the capital of Kashyyyk.
During the time of the Jedi Civil War, Rwookrrorro was little more than a tree-top village, but over time it expanded to become Kashyyyk's most prominent settlement and spaceport.
Rwookrrorro, as of the Galactic Civil War, comprised a kilometer-wide platform supported within a tangle of wroshyr trees. Thanks to their knowledge of technology, the Wookiees further supported this natural nest with repulsorlifts.
Primitive-looking huts lined the edges of Rwookrrorro's streets, while a huge, hollowed-out branch served as a hidden hangar for offworlders looking to evade Imperial entanglements. Lift cars were used to traverse the levels of the Wookiee trees. The Rryatt Trail led from the city to the Well of the Dead.
The tree-city was also the home of Chewbacca and his family. During the Battle of Kashyyyk following the end of the Clone Wars, Rwookrrorro was severely damaged by orbital bombardment from Imperial Star Destroyers.
JCW
During the Jedi Civil War the city was run by Chuundar, who was involved with Czerka slavers.
During Revan's search for the Star Maps he entered a Czerka spaceport not far from the city. As he prepared to enter it he was stopped by a guard and his Wookiee companion Zaalbar was captured.
Chuundar held Zaalbar captive until Revan could journey into the shadowlands to kill a Madclaw. During his journey into the shadowlands he met Jolee Bindo, a Jedi who helped him find the star map, and the madclaw, who turned out to be Freyyr.
When Revan returned to the city, Freyyr was confronting Chuundar, as they argued, Revan convinced Zaalbar to side with Freyyr, together they teamed together to defeat Chuundar, his followers, and his Czerka allies.
After the battle, Zaalbar left with Revan to continue his life debt and was rewarded with Bacca's Ceremonial Blade. The Wookiees drove the Czerka slavers out of Rwookrrorro, and the city was freed from slavers.
