[edit] History

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, and Umbara may have been a founding world of that Empire. It was certainly 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.

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.
