[edit] History
A group of the indigenous Omwati established a small but successful colony on Coruscant around 4,000 BBY, but their homeworld was long forgotten by the galactic community until rediscovered by Wilhuff Tarkin in 25 BBY. The planet was taken over by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars and was the site of a battle 20 BBY. The planet was later subjugated by Wilhuff Tarkin, by that time a Grand Moff. Tarkin stole a number of children from the planet to be trained as superweapon think-tank geniuses in an orbiting center. Only one child, Qwi Xux, survived this program; her fellow captives were killed, their home cities bombarded into oblivion. The Omwati eventually achieved space travel and contacted their kin on Coruscant. They eventually joined the New Republic.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion mistakenly places Omwat in the Dolomar Sector of the Galactic Core.
