Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
In 11,660 BBY, the Galactic Republic carried out a bombardment of the planet Zarracina III. At the time, the Republic was under the control of the Humanocentric Pius Dea cult, and it attempted to gain control of the planet after a strategically important hyperspace jump point was discovered in the Zarracina system. When the ruling council of the planet's Zarracine species died by suicide rather than be captured, Republic Commodore Daymont Praji ordered that Zarracina III be subjected to an orbital bombardment. It caused radioactive winter on the planet, and the Zarracines were rendered nearly extinct, going on to harbor resentment toward the Republic and the Prajis that lasted for tens of millennia.
