Arpor - Lan were the native species of Arporatal - Lanin , a planet that had not been discovered by the galactic community . Circa 1000 BBY , the tycoon Thull Vandron gathered seventeen noble houses of the Core Worlds and took them to a hidden cluster of worlds . These planets were divided in two groups , Senex and Juvex . Arportal - Lanin was in Juvex , an area that was assigned to Houses Carbinol , Hallikeenovich , Kassido , Kellermin , Mekuun , Pilor , Sisemon and Sreethyn . These aristocrats found native species in their worlds , and spent one century bending them using starships and blaster cannons . Arporatal - Lanin and the other planets in Juvex became property of the aristocrats . By 700 BBY , all the native species of Juvex , including the Arpor - Lan , had been enslaved for so long that they deemed freedom an old myth . But by then the Galactic Republic found Senex and Juvex and began a restless relationship with the ruling houses . Republic pilots heard rumors about the enslaved locals . In 553 BBY , a Republic warlord began to free some of the species in the area . During the Fourth Nantama Synod , the Houses joined the Republic , with Senex and Juvex becoming sectors . However , the Galactic Senate was unhappy with the slaving ways of the Houses , as they were violating the Rights of Sentience . The Houses demanded that they could keep that integral part of their culture . This led to a number of disputes during the following centuries . Arpor - Lan in the galaxy .
