[edit] History
The planet was originally known by the name Dahrtag. However, after the planet and its surrounding system was opened up to the rest of the galaxy, the name Necropolis was coined by many visitors in reference to the Necropolitans' reverence for their dead. Over time the original name of Dahrtag was all but forgotten, remaining only on military starcharts.
At some point, General Grievous may have fought and killed a Dark Jedi there. Also, it was where Zak Arranda was killed and then reincarnated by Cornelius Evazan, as part of Borborygmus Gog's Project Starscream.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The name "Necropolis" comes from the Greek term for a "City of the Dead", and can be used as a term for a graveyard.
Necropolis is also the name of a planet in the Warhammer 40K universe.
