Bardotta Bardotta was a remote planet located in the Bardotta system of the Shasos sector of the the galaxy ' s Colonies region . Renowned for the art and music produced by the simple locals , the planet was ruled by a monarch who was guided in their decisions by the Dagoyan Order , a group reputed for their mysticism and attention to spiritual matters . Description . Located along the Giju Run , Bardotta was a quiet world , home to the Bardottan people . Covered in dramatic landscapes , the planet ' s mountain ranges , warm seas , and lush forests , drew some visitors to the small world . It possessed a mild climate due to the distance from its sun , and had a slightly lower gravity than average . The planet ' s laws were few , though punishment for violation of those that do exist is a swift banishment . Those visitors that did seek out the world found its markets filled with art of every type , included textiles and tapestries made of Bardottan silk . Organized crime was non - existent on Bardotta , with the exception of smuggler s of antiquities . Smugglers of these ancient artifacts were dealt with harshly when caught , receiving a facial brand and exiled as enemies of the planet . History . Civilization on Bardotta started c . 6000 BBY when the Frangawl reigned over a militant society . Meditating before battle , the Frangawl people used the dark side of the Force to drive themselves in fierce wars , driven by battle rage . Erecting terrifying edifices with animal sculptures and other motifs , the Frangawl were also artisans , building temples and other structures hewn from solid rock across the landscape of the world . War was waged across Bardotta for four millennia , until circa 2000 BBY when the Dagoyan Order took hold on the planet after a series of successful and strategic small - scale wars . Turning to deep meditation during times of peace , the Dagoyan tradition unlocked greater insight in the studies of the Force and eventually came to a position of power . With the government of Bardotta fully under the control of the Dagoyan Masters , the Frangawl Cult was banned , with practitioners dying out and disappearing through attrition . The remains of the Frangawl temples were covered in prayer flag s and converted into Dagoyan sites for meditation and contemplation . With the theocratic monarchy of the Dagoyan Order fully established , Bardotta reached out into the greater galaxy , avoiding the Galactic Republic and the politics of the civilized galaxy . Remaining neutral in galactic affairs , the Dagoyan Order had short - lived relationship with the Jedi Order , who took Bardottan children from their planet to train as Jedi . The fierce reaction from the Dagoyan Masters , who viewed this as abduction , caused the Jedi to return the children and end recruitment out of Bardotta . During the Clone Wars , in 20 BBY the Bardottan Queen Julia contacted the Galactic Senate as several of her most trusted spiritual advisers had disappeared , and asked for the help of Representative Jar Jar Binks , to come and investigate the unusual situation . Binks was accompanied by Jedi Master Mace Windu , though Windu was excluded the Master from several important meetings about the matter . During a meeting with Binks , the queen was abducted , causing Master Windu to lead an investigation into the underground caves beneath the Royal Palace . Discovering Frangawl cultists active in the caves , the Jedi rescued the Queen , moments before she was to be sacrificed in order to steal her life force , a power which later would land in the power of Clan Mother Talzin of the Nightsisters . With the relationship between the Jedi Order and the Dagoyan Order mended , the two orders sought to continue on a relationship of mutual respect . Despite the agreement , when the Jedi Order was destroyed at the end of the Clone Wars , the Dagoyan Order acknowledged the Galactic Empire ' s sovereignty in order to avoid scrutiny by the Empire . Society and culture . Peaceful and contemplative , Bardottans were aloof and inwardly focused , keeping to their mountain - side monasteries and temples . While every Bardottan trained under a Dagoyan education system , not every Bardottan was a member of the Order . Meditation was an import part of every Bardottan ' s life , even if they left their homeworld . Despite the majority of Bardottans continuing on the traditions and teachings of the Dagoyan , participation was not a mandatory function of society . Behind the scenes . The planet Bardotta is named after French artist .
