Legend

in the wake of the Tarasin Revolt, the Jedi Knights were called in to settle the dispute between the native Tarasin of Cularin and the corporations who were on the planet to harvest ch'hala trees for wood. The Cularin Compact was the defining set of agreements which were negotiated. In the Compact, the Jedi outlined the rights of the Tarasin people to hold the trees sacred. The Compact also noted that outside logging interests had been previously allowed under Tarasin religion. After six months of negotiation, the Compact described the sharply curtailed logging activities which would be allowed on Cularin, thereby satisfying the Tarasin's demands and allowing logging to continue. A peace between the Tarasin and the offworlders eventually took hold.
