Colonized by settlers from the highly-xenophobic world Rocantor c. 421 BBY, Lanteeb was a small backwater world that specialized in agriculture and mining. Joining the Galactic Republic, they avoided direct representation in the Galactic Senate due to their anti-alien laws. While the crop output was not enough to create a substantial offworld market, there was enough demand for damotite that a sufficient profit could be made. However as the years passed the market for damotite dwindled as trenomite became the preferred mineral. As jobs became scarce, the Lanteebans were forced to look offworld for jobs; however, their xenophobic natures more times than not caused them to lose any job they obtained.[2]
