[edit] Geography
Garos IV was a pleasant world of forests, mountains and oceans. Its population was centered on a single continent in three major centers. It was most well known for the University of Garos.
[edit] History
The indigenous humanoid civilization of Garos IV was wiped out by a groundquake 40,000 BBY. In 25,000 BBY, a Ssi-ruuk experimental hyperdrive vessel crashed on the planet. In 4,005 BBY, the planet was colonized by Humans. Its war with neighboring Sundari ended in a treaty 118 BBY, but restarted in 87 BBY. The planet allowed RRM settlement in 22 BBY, shortly before the Clone Wars.[1]
During the reign of the Galactic Republic, the Garosian-Sundar truce was constantly violated, until the Galactic Empire took control. The Garosians sided with the Rebel Alliance and participated in the battle when the planet was liberated by the New Republic following the Thrawn campaign. The popularity of the University on planet caused an economic upswing during the years before the Yuuzhan Vong.
Garos IV was the homeworld of Brenn and Dellis Tantor, their father, and Alexandra Winger.
[edit] Technology
The Hibridium Cloaking device was produced on Garos IV.
