Mytaranor sector / Legends The Mytaranor sector was a sector located in the Mid Rim . This sector bordered several other Mid Rim sectors . Planets in the Mytaranor sector included Mytaranor itself , Trandosha , Alaris , Kashyyyk and the sector capital , Randon . The sector had many Wookiee colonies , such as Kwookrrr and Rakhuuun . This sector , especially the Kashyyyk system , was the site of numerous conflicts , and its two major native species , the Wookiees and Trandoshans , were skilled warriors . The Wookiees were sometimes treated as mere animals , and several times slaver organizations such as Czerka Corporation or the Mytaranor Slaving Council set up operations in the sector to exploit them as slave labor . The Trandoshans , on the other hand , often worked with the slavers , or were employed as bounty hunters around the galaxy . Description . The Mytaranor sector was located in the Mid Rim , in the region known as the Slice . This sector bordered the Lantillian , Taldot , Kastolar , Trax , and Terr ' skiar sector s . The sector featured several trade routes such as the Randon Run , which connected the Perlemian Trade Route to Randon ; the Ootmian Pabol , linking Randon to the Hutt capital of Nal Hutta ; and others . The Thornhedge Nebula , which formed from the remains of the Kyyr system after it went supernova , forms part of the boundary between this sector and the Terr ' skiar sector . The Mytaranor sector was the center of the " Kashyyyk Region " , which contains five other sectors , four of which border the Mytaranor . The Kashyyyk system , aside from being a trade hub at the intersection of six hyperspace routes , was home to two native species : the Wookiees of Kashyyyk , and the Trandoshans of Trandosha . Kashyyyk was a planet of giant wroshyr trees covering all land a kilometer in from the shores . The Wookiees themselves were a hair - covered mammalian species who made their homes on the treetops and on the shores . The Trandoshans were a lizard - like reptilian species . The moons of Alaris were settled by Wookiees in 32 BBY . The planets of Kwookrrr and Rakhuuun were both Wookiee colonies , the former being infamous for its slave factories and farms during the Imperial Period . Torn Station was a refueling stop near Kashyyyk . Mytaranor , which shares its name with that of the sector , is home to the Mytaranor Slaving Council . The planet of Ota near the Thornhedge Nebula is an ice planet home to the primitive Snogar . Randon is the capital of the sector and home to the Randoni , native Humans known as skilled bargainers and politicians . Like Kashyyyk , Randon was located at a nexus of trade routes . History . Early history . The planet of Kashyyyk was an agricultural planet controlled by the Rakata n Infinite Empire during pre - Republic years . When the Rakata left , their Force - powered machinery continued working and produced the massive wroshyr trees that Kashyyyk became famous for . Wroshyr trees also somehow arrived on Alaris Prime , a moon of the gas giant Alaris in the Kashyyyk system . The sector was explored by the Galactic Republic somewhere between 20 , 000 BBY and 8000 BBY . Republic scouts charted the Ootmian Pabol from Gyndine through the Mytaranor sector and into Hutt Space around 12 , 000 BBY . Old Republic . The sector was a minor battleground in the Old Sith Wars . The Sith attacked Randon as part of their assault on the Slice during the time of Exar Kun . The Randon system was again attacked in 3962 BBY during the Mandalorian Wars . There was a battle won by the Sith during the Jedi Civil War at Randon . The Mytaranor sector was mostly part of the Sith Empire at its height during this war , though there was a rebellion on Kashyyyk of Wookiee slaves of Czerka Corporation instigated by former Sith Lord Revan . During the Light and Darkness War at the close of the New Sith Wars , there were a string of Sith victories in the Kashyyyk system of the Mytatanor sector . At Kashyyyk and at Trandosha , the Gloom Walkers led the Sith to victory . Dessel , who would one day become Dark Lord of the Sith , distinguished himself at these battles . There was also a skirmish on Alaris Prime later . In the last years of the Old Republic , the Mytaranor sector was represented in the Galactic Senate by Yarua , a Wookiee . Shortly before the Invasion of Naboo , a group of Wookiees lead by Attichitcuk received permission to colonize Alaris Prime . This brought them into conflict with the Trade Federation , which had secretly taken the moon to exploit its resources . The Wookiee colonists fought off the Trade Federation . During the Separatist Crisis and subsequent Clone Wars , the Mytaranor sector was divided between the Separatists and Loyalists . Whereas Kashyyyk and its neighbors were Loyalists , Randon and its neighbors were Separatists during most of the war . During the Outer Rim Sieges Randon was back in Republic control , but the Confederacy staged an assault upon Kashyyyk . Order 66 was issued to the Clone Army during this battle , and Jedi Master Yoda narrowly escaped . Galactic Empire . After the Declaration of a New Order , it came under the authority of the Moff of Sector 3 , apparently a larger territory with its headquarters on Bimmisaari in Halla sector . During the Imperial Period , the Mytaranor sector was plagued by attacks of the Mytaranor Slaving Council . The Sector was far away from most of the Imperial activities and slaves were " needed " to make the most of the natural resources . Due to Wookiee loyalty to the Jedi , the planet of Kashyyyk was subject to several Imperial attacks during the Great Jedi Purge . Kashyyyk was again a battleground in the Galactic Civil War . In 4 ABY , it was the site of the opening of the Nagai invasion . Later that year Kashyyyk was liberated by the New Republic from Imperial rule , and it is likely that the rest of the sector was as well . After the Empire . The Mytaranor sector , or Kashyyyk at least , was loyal to the New Republic through all the crises in its time . In 23 ABY it was the site of a battle between the Jedi and the Second Imperium . During the Yuuzhan Vong War , the invading aliens passed through the Mytaranor sector within the first couple of years of war , taking Randon . Kashyyyk however was spared from the alien assault , and became a vital New Republic stronghold in the region . After the war , the Mytaranor became part of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances , the successor state to the New Republic . Senator Triebakk of the Mytaranor sector even became part of the High Council . During the Second Galactic Civil War , tbe Wookiees of the Mytaranor tried to remain neutral while they debated the correct course of action to take . This would not save Kashyyyk from an attack from Galactic Alliance Chief of State and fallen Jedi Jacen Solo , who led a bombardment on the surface of the forested world . This action provoked a split from the Galactic Alliance by the Jedi Order , who form the Jedi Coalition . Kashyyyk , and possibly other Wookiee worlds , were part of this coalition until the end of the war and the reintegration back into the Galactic Alliance . By 137 ABY , the Mytaranor sector was part of Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire . Senators . All known Senators of the Mytaranor sector have been Wookiees .
