Builders, The
this was the term used by the ancient Sandpeople to describe the Rakatans who arrived on Tatooine many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. According to legend, the Rakatans tried to enslave the Sandpeople, who fought back and regained their freedom. During the search for the Star Forge, some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, it was discovered that many races used the term "Builders" to refer to the Rakatan. Runes found on Dantooine and histories on Manaan also held references to the Builders, providing more clues about the Rakatan civilization's impact on the rest of the galaxy.
