HistoryEdit

It was part of the Galactic Republic from that government's earliest days.

The founder of the New Sith Empire, Darth Ruin, was an Umbaran. It was under Sith control by 1,002 BBY, when the Brotherhood of Darkness operated a Sith academy on the world that specialized in the training of Sith Assassins.^[3]

During the Clone Wars, Senator Mee Deechi represented the planet in the Galactic Senate^[6] and fellow Umbaran Sly Moore worked as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's Staff Aide.^[2] Later in the war, Umbara joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems because of the assassination of Mee Deechi and the native Umbarans battled clone troopers for the possession of the planet.^[5] The battle though ended in a Republic victory placing Umbara back under Republic control.

Since many Umbarans served as spies for the Empire, after the Battle of Endor most Umbarans retreated to Umbara, fearing retribution. The planet remained isolated even after the Swarm War, though many predicted the Umbarans would eventually seek to establish a presence in the Galactic Alliance Senate.
