Legend

the history of this planet was written in blood, as the natives were considered barbarians who lived with violence and bloodshed on a daily basis. The planet was located in a remote cornor of the galaxy, and was unknown even into the last days of the Old Republic. Because resources were scarce on the planet, and since there was no trade with the outside galaxy, the struggle for survival became paramount to the native Rattataki. Small tribes gathered together to pool their resources, and wars over fertile ground became commonplace. This evolution toward violence kept the Rattataki from discovering space travel, and they were quite unprepared when a starship full of slavers arrived on Rattatak. However, the Rattataki quickly realized that the slavers could bring stronger warriors to Rattatak, and renewed violence spread across the planet. This barbaristic existence was temporarily halted when Asajj Ventress rose to power, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. When she left Rattatak to join Count Dooku, Rattatak reverted to its old ways.
