Malata was a planet[2] located in the Malata system of the Unknown Regions.[1] It was a part of the Rakatan Archipelago, a fragmented group of unaligned planets settled by tribes of the Rakata species after the collapse of the Rakatan Infinite Empire[2] around 25,200 BBY.[3]
The tribe that colonized Malata also brought its slaves there, which included Wookiees,[2] natives of the Mid Rim world Kashyyyk.[4] Overbreeding among the Wookiees of Malata, however, led to sickly genetic deformities, such as them being hairless and stoop-shouldered with long front incisors meant for chewing on timber thickets.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Malata was introduced in The Unknown Regions, a 2010 Wizards of the Coast sourcebook for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game.[2]
