Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

V'shar was a Wild Space planet that was the homeworld of the sentient Ka'hren species. A tradition-bound, religious, and isolationist people, the Ka'hren had a system of government in which their many organized faiths had a direct influence. Centuries before 2 ABY, V'shar was home to the Unfyr warrior culture, which was known for its use of the rantok sword.

Long after the eventual extinction of the Unfyr, the Ka'hren academic Kaltor Naklian researched and taught the ancient history of V'shar at a local university. A discovery of ancient writings in a local cavern drove Naklian to found the new religion of Ni'Shaw-Dak Ministry, which eventually became a prominent player in V'shar politics. The cavern findings also allowed the Ka'hren scholar to become a highly-respected rantok wielder, and he left V'shar to become a hunter of furred beings as well as a member of the Zulirian Swordmasters group.
