Atrisia

Atrisia, also known as Kitel Phard, was a terrestrial planet located in the Core Worlds sector known as the Atrisian Commonwealth. It lay on the Giju Run hyperlane and was the homeworld of the creature known as the shredder bat. Locations on the planet included the city of Jar'Kai and the Atrisian Imperial Historical Library.

Atrisia was inhabited by a race of Humans known as the Atrisians. During their homeworld's ancient history, the Atrisians had formed several nations, including the Atrisian Empire, which actively engaged in conquests. Under the leadership of the fifty-forth Atrisian Emperor, Uueg Tching, the Empire's Kitel Phard Dynasty unified the planet, and Atrisia was subsequently also referred to as "Kitel Phard." Tching also authored a collection of parables, analogies, and instructions known as the Sayings, which began to circulate in the wider galaxy millennia later.

By 24,500 BBY, a type of dueling sword and an associated dual-wielding sword-fighting technique was developed in the Atrisian city of Jar'Kai. At the conclusion of the First Great Schism around the same time, the Legions of Lettow member Arden Lyn traveled beyond Atrisia while fleeing the forces of the Jedi Order.

Nearly twenty-four millennia later, the Atrisian Parliament took over power from the planet's emperors. Atrisia subsequently became a part of the Galactic Republic, by which time its ancient history was considered a classical field of galactic historical studies. The achievements of the Atrisian Empire served as an inspiration for the formation of the Galactic Empire, of which the planet became a member. Atrisia also joined the Empire's successor, the New Republic, and fell within the borders of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire a century later.
