HistoryEdit

The natives lived in city-trees, while wide areas of the planet were made barren by kiltik beetles.

The planet was conquered by the Mandalorians during the Battle of Cathar, leading to the enslavement and near-extinction of the Cathar species. The few survivors were forced to flee offworld to survive. After the end of the Mandalorian Wars Cathar began to resettle their world and by the time of the Galactic Civil War, it had fully recovered from the damage the Mandalorians had done. Prior to the planet's devastation, it was not a member of the Galactic Republic.

Cathar was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong during the Yuuzhan Vong War. The invaders overran the planet prior to their attack on Coruscant in 27 ABY.^[1]

In 137 ABY, Cathar was under the yoke of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire.^[1]

The Giant horned hopper were often killed by the Cathar species in blood hunts.
