[edit] History

[edit] Galactic Empire

In 19 BBY, the mainframe computer in the capital city, Sath, was infiltrated. Having received a request from Bog Divinian, the Imperial Advisor stationed on Samaria, Emperor Palpatine coerced Ferus Olin into resolving the problem. The computer virus had been arranged by Aaren Larker, the local Prime Minister, as a deterrent to complete Imperial control of the planet; the plan was carried out by Astri Oddo, wife of Bog, to protect her force-sensitive child from the Imperials. The system was eventually restored by Ferus, who let Astri go.

Not long after, Divinian began gaining support on Samaria, as he claimed credit for solving the crisis. His support grew after he "survived" an assassination attempt by Roshans, which he himself set up. Eventually, he was elected Prime Minister of Samaria, ousting Aaren Larker. One of Bog's first acts was to outlaw personal droids, which Samarians did willingly.

Samaria was an expert in macrotechnology, with personal droids being able to handle vast amounts of information.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Samaria was the capital of Israel after it severed ties from the kingdom of Judah.

Wealthy Samarians lived on flower like designs of white sand engineered on bodies of water. These structures were likely inspired by the man-made Palm Islands in Dubai.
