Length of Day: Unknown
Length of Year: Unknown
Sapient Species: Storm beasts (native), Sith, Humans
Population: Less than 5,000

Knowledge Galactic Lore (KotOR era):

DC Result
10 Malachor V was the location of The Battle of Malachor V, the final battle in the Mandalorian Wars.
20 Malachor V was strong in the dark side of the Force. During the Battle of Malachor V the influence of the planet caused many Jedi to fall to the Dark Side.
25 Revan defeated the Mandalorians by luring them into a trap at Malachor V. He assembled a large fleet of Jedi and Republic soldiers (many of whose loyalty to Revan was uncertain) as bait for the Mandalorians. Once enough of them were in place, one of his generals, later known as the Jedi Exile, activated a superweapon called the Mass Shadow Generator. This weapon destroyed the Mandalorian, Jedi, and Republic ships as well as much of Malachor V itself.
30 Malachor V was once a Sith world, and held the Trayus Academy, where Sith were trained.

Knowledge Galactic Lore (Rise of the Empire era and later):

DC Result
25 Malchor V was the site of an ancient battle which resulted in the destruction of the planet.
30 Malachor V was strong in the Dark Side of the Force, and may have held some affiliation with the ancient Sith.

Lehon (or Rakata Prime)

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Designed by Alt F4.


Region: Unknown Regions
System: Lehon System
Diameter: Unknown
Climate: Tropical
Gravity: Unknown
Suns: 1 (name unknown)
Moons: 2
Length of Day: Unknown
Length of Year: Unknown
Sapient Species: Rakata (extinct by 1,000 BBY)
Population: Unknown
Government: Unknown
Capital: Unknown
Major Exports: Unknown
Major Imports: Unknown

Knowledge Galactic Lore (KotOR Era, Post Jedi Civil War):

DC Result
20 The Lehon system is a protected historical site in a seldom-traveled corner of the galaxy. Entering the system requires special permission from the Republic.
25 Lehon is where Revan and the Republic defeated Darth Malak and the Sith. The battle is said to have left behind much wreckage which could be valuable as salvage.
35 Millennia before the founding of the Republic Lehon was the capital the Infinite Empire, a galactic empire ruled by a species called the Rakata. The Rakata ruled through a combination of advanced technology and the Dark Side of the Force, until slave revolts, a civil war, and a plague which robbed the Rakata of their connection to the Force caused their empire to crumble and nearly drove the Rakata to extinction.

Knowledge Galactic Lore (Darth Bane era):

DC Result
20 Lehon is a planet in a seldom-traveled corner of the galaxy. It was once the home planet of the Rakata, an extinct species which ruled an ancient empire that predated the founding of the Republic.
25 Darth Bane visited Lehon in order to gain access to the holocron of an ancient Sith Lord. While there he battled the Sith Lord Kas’im and destroyed much of the Rakatan Temple of the Ancients in the process.
35 The Rakata’s Infinite Empire relied on slavery, advanced technology, and the Dark Side of the Force to rule the galaxy. Millennia after its collapse and the extinction of the Rakata species, the Infinite Empire’s capital world of Lehon still holds an affinity with the Dark Side of the Force that Darth Bane reported to be stronger than Korriban’s.

Telos IV

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Designed by Alt F4.


Region: Outer Rim
System: Telos system
Diameter: 42,550 km (see note)
Climate: Unknown
Gravity: Unknown
Suns: 1, Telos
Moons: Unknown
Length of Day: Unknown
Length of Year: Unknown
Sapient Species: Aqualish, Devaronian, Duro, Humans, Ithorians, Mirialan, Rodian, Sullustan, Twi’lek, Quarren, Zeltron
Population: Unknown
Government: Unknown
Capital: Citadel Station (KotOR era, post Jedi Civil War); Thani (Rise of the Empire Era)
Major Exports: Unknown
Major Imports: Unknown

Knowledge Bureaucracy:

DC Result
20 The Telos Security Force is the law enforcement agency on Telos. It is commonly referred to as the TSF.

Knowledge Galactic Lore (KotOR era):

DC Result
15 Telos was ravaged by a Sith bombardment during the Jedi Civil War which left the planet uninhabitable. The survivors drifted in planetary shuttles for weeks until Republic capital ships arrived.
25 When the Republic began to restore worlds ravaged by the Jedi Civil War, Telos was chosen as the first planet to be restored. The project was plagued by problems including competition for contracts between the Ithorians and Czerka Corporation, fuel shortages, and another attack on the planet by Sith forces.

Knowledge Galactic Lore (Rebellion Era):

DC Result
20 Telos, along with several other planets of the Kwymar sector, was aligned with the Rebellion. As a result it suffered Imperial attack during the Kwymar Suppressions.
30 Nearly thirty years before the Clone Wars, Telos was suffering from a civil war. A young Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master Qui-Gon Jinn were instrumental in resolving the civil war. After the civil war, however, the planet was taken over by industrial interests which quickly polluted the planet and caused many residents to flee.

Knowledge Life Sciences:

DC Result
20 Much of the native life on Telos was destroyed during the Sith bombardment. As a result the Ithorians leading the restoration project brought in life forms from other worlds, including hardy animals from Onderon.(Raise the DC to 30 for the Rise of the Empire era and later.)

Compiler’s Note: The stated diameter of Telos IV, as reported on Wookieepedia, makes it very large for a rocky planet. It seems likely that 42,550 km is the circumference of Telos IV rather than the diameter. In that case, the diameter of Telos IV would be 13,544 km, a figure much more in line with the size of rocky planets.
