Rhamalai
this planet was subjugated by the Empire sometime after the Battle of Yavin. The planet was first settled some 400 years before the Battle of Yavin by the Cherishites. A hundred years later, the planet was discovered by corporate scouts, and only the intervention of a Jedi Knight - a member of the original colonists - kept the planet free. The Jedi managed to keep Rhamalai under Cherishite control until the rise of the New Order, when he finally passed away. Much of the planet's economy derived from agriculture, and the Empire knew that it could support the military efforts in the area but taking control of its agricultural production.
