[edit] History
Rothana was the headquarters of Rothana Heavy Engineering, a subsidiary of the Kuat Drive Yards corporation, which was responsible for creating the various war machines of the Republic Army. It was protected by a KDY corporate-security starfleet. Due to its close proximity to Kamino, Rothana was chosen by the Kaminoans to manufacture the vehicles and vessels of the clone army.
A world with at least some arctic terrain, Rothana was home to the arctic horny whelmer. The wide, sturdy stance of this native beast was mimicked in the design of the Rothana All Terrain Tactical Enforcer. The AT-TE was first deployed for security on Subterrel before its first true military deployment during the Battle of Geonosis.
During the Second Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances believed Rothana would join with the Corellians purely to observe due to their shipbuilding rivalry.[2]
[edit] Behind the scenes
Curtis Saxton mentioned in an interview with TheForce.Net that Rothana was named in Star Wars Attack of the Clones: Incredible Cross-Sections after an intervention from George Lucas.[3]
