Quelii was devastated by a Mandalorian attack in the years leading up to the Mandalorian Wars, although some natives managed to escape the onslaught and make it to Republic space. One of these refugees grew to become the infamous Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Malak, who led a Sith army against the Republic in the Jedi Civil War.

Although Quelii's society was more or less destroyed after the Mandalorian raid, some natives managed to escape and continue their lives in Republic space.
==Inhabitants==
In the years prior to the Mandalorian Wars, Quelii maintained a native population that included Humans, centered around villages. Natives of Quelii did not have familial surnames, although some who fled the world after the Mandalorian attack ended up with the names of their home villages standing in for last names on their immigration records. Among those who escaped the Mandalorians was a young man named Alek, a native of the village Squinquargesimus, who became a Jedi Knight and one of the leading proponents of Jedi intervention in the Mandalorian Wars. Eventually, Alek fell to the dark side and became the infamous Dark Lord of the Sith known as Darth Malak, who led a force of Sith against the Jedi and the Republic in the Jedi Civil War.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
