[edit] History
Once a prominent vactation world for the Hutts, Teth suffered an economic crisis when the Galactic Republic began crack downs against the criminals housed on-planet. Prior to the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Plo Koon helped local constable Janu Godalhi capture pirates as part of the Republic crackdown, futher driving the Hutts out..
[edit] The Clone Wars
It was home to a Hutt fortress on a mesa that was the site of a large battle between Republic and Confederacy forces during the Clone Wars. The battle was fought up a cliff, in which the Republics primary weapon were standard AT-TE Walkers, which they used to climb the fortress. Upon reaching the top, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano recovered the missing Huttlet. Later, Ahsoka and Anakin found the Twilight, and used it to transport Rotta the Huttlet back to Tatooine.
[edit] Galactic Civil War
It was the capital of Moff Sarn Shild, who used the planet as the marshaling point for his fleet before he launched his attack on Nar Shaddaa in 4 BBY. It was also the location of an early Rebel cell. It was apparently a significant one too, as the Corellian Rebels were willing to risk sending the valued commander Bria Tharen across the galaxy (a dangerous endeavor, especially during the early days of the Galactic Civil War) to make contact with them.
The Tethan Rebels declined to join an outright alliance, but were willing to step-up attacks on Imperial targets like supply dumps and ships coming to and from the Corporate Sector and help funnel the proceeds to their coreward brethren.
