Shi'kar

The Shi'kar were a group whose homeworld—located in the Nembus sector of the Outer Rim Territories—was destroyed by a comet impact some time prior to the Clone Wars of 22–19 BBY. Their planet fractured into numerous pieces under the impact, eventually becoming an asteroid belt known as the Shi'kar Straits. Some of the larger asteroids still contained ruined structures from the planet's past. By the time of the Clone Wars, the Shi'kar Straits had become a haven for smugglers, pirates, and scavengers.
