Vagaari Empire

The Vagaari Empire was the domain of the Vagaari species in the Unknown Regions who pirates and slavers flew freely taking and destroying at will with cruelty and terror. Even other species in the Unknown Regions, such as the Ebruchi and the Rakata would flee its power.

The Vagaari eventually adopted a nomadic lifestyle in space at some point before 40 BBY, leaving their homeworld of Vagar Praxut almost entirely deserted. Their reign of terror was halted in 37 BBY by the Chiss Ascendancy, and they and were forced to retreat to their own corner of the Unknown Regions. The Vagaari Empire then began building up forces for an eventual attack on the Ascendancy. The Chiss became aware of the Vagaari buildup, and feared that they had "already made alliances with powers even more dangerous than they are."

The Vagaari Empire began a war against the Chiss Ascendancy in 22 ABY. During this war, it was revealed that Vagaari were posing as Geroon, survivors of the Outbound Flight and their colony for nearly five decades. However, the Geroon Remnant would soon reveal themselves as the Vagaari, who had come to avenge their losses at the hands of the Chiss years before. The Geroon Remnant were defeated in The Redoubt by the Chiss Ascendancy, with the aid of the New Republic, the New Jedi Order and Empire of the Hand.
