Legend

this Outer Rim world was the homeworld of the Dug species, and was first settled by the Old Republic some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. An outpost was the only outside presence on the planet for several thousand years, until the Gran began to settle on the planet. By the last decades of the Old Republic, the Gran population vastly outnumbered that of the native Dugs, who found themselves in the minority on their own planet. The native Dug population found itself subordinated by the garrulous Gran, and grew to despise them. This led to a great deal of inter-species fighting and a power struggle which the Gran eventually won. An arboreal world with stronger than normal gravity, Malastare was the site a series of famous podraces. Note that the galaxy map insider Star Wars Insider, issue 65, places Malastare in the Expansion Region.
