Kar'a'katok

Kar'a'katok was a Core Worlds planet that was home to the sentient Shimholt species. More than four millennia before the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Nelori Marauders launched a devastating invasion of Kar'a'katok that the Shimholt were able to eventually fight off.

Afterward, dissatisfaction with the planetary government led to a coup in which a faction of Shimholt religious fanatics came to power. The Shimholt zealots oversaw the fortification of Kar'a'katok against future invasions as well as increasing seclusion of the species and its homeworld, a state that lasted for four thousand years. Eventually, forces of the Empire carried out a raid on the planet that saw the capture and subsequent exile of Shimholt Suprema Ampotem Za.
