The Rakatan Civil War was the death knell of the Infinite Empire.

HistoryEdit

Starting at some point after the peak of the Empire in 30,000 BBY,^[1] the Rakatan Civil War was fueled by the savage nature of the Rakata, enhanced by the Star Forge's accentuation of their natural dark side powers. The effects of the late civil war were enhanced by the onset of numerous slave rebellions (such as on Tatooine, and maybe Coruscant) and a plague that struck only Rakata.

AftermathEdit

The Civil War and the Empire had both ended in 25,200 BBY, paving the way for the formation of the Galactic Republic within several short centuries.^[1]

Due to the plague and civil war, the remaining Rakata were forced to retreat to their homeworld, Lehon, and their once powerful forces reduced to squabbling warlords and feuding clans, both on Lehon and on isolated, off-world colonies.^[2]
