Althir was a remote, independent planet in the Althir system that was located outside of the borders of the Galactic Republic. It had a system of rocky planetary rings.
[edit] History
Althir was the site of two major battles fought by the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the Old Sith Wars. The first battle was fought in the early years of the Mandalorian Wars at some point between the years 3,976 and 3,963 BBY. The battle was a confrontation between the invading Mandalorian forces commanded by Canderous Ordo and Althiri defenders. The Mandalorians emerged victorious and they conquered the planet, but they were not destined to hold it very long.
The second battle was fought several years after the Mandalorians had invaded the Republic, circa 3,960 BBY. It was a confrontation between Republic forces under the command of the Jedi Revan and the Mandalorian army. Revan led the Republic to victory and his forces eradicated the Mandalorian regime on Althir.
