Tepasi/Legends

Tepasi was a planet located within the Tepasi system of the Core Worlds. A forested world situated on the Commenor Run, it was colonized by Humans before 26,000 BBY and was already emerging as a hub of commerce when it became a founding member of the Galactic Republic. In 200 BBY, Tarzen Tagge provided aid to the planet after it experienced a series of groundquakes, precipitating the crime lord's founding of the Tagge Company. Tepasi remained loyal to the Republic during the Clone Wars, and after the death of Emperor Palpatine it was the site of the crumbling Tagge Company's only remaining facility.

Tepasi was colonized by Humans, who arrived in sleeper ships The Essential Atlas, p. 116 from Kuat, between 27,500 and 26,000 BBY, and around 25,000 BBY, when it was emerging as a hub of commerce, it became a founding member of the Galactic Republic.
In the fourth year of the Galactic War, a corrupt female customs official who quit from an arms smuggling for a local syndicate was looking for a new place to call home.
Around 600 BBY, a family of Tepasi nobles made investments that made the conversion of the Christoph system into a viable mining concern possible. The Essential Atlas, p. 50 In 200 BBY, crime lord Tarzen Tagge used his fleet of small freighters to deliver supplies and crews to an area of Tepasi that had been devastated by a series of groundquakes, thereby becoming a local hero. By the time the area's production facilities and roads were rebuilt, Tagge had founded the Tagge Company, a construction firm which operated as a front for his smuggling operations.
Tepasi eventually became the throneworld of the House of Tagge family of nobles, and in 22 BBY, Baroness Sanya Tagge reaffirmed the family's loyalty to the Republic in an address to the populace of Tepasi. It indeed remained within space loyal to the Galactic Republic upon the outbreak of the Clone Wars. The Essential Atlas, p. 151 After the death of Emperor Palpatine, the Tagge Company crumbled and its holdings were ultimately reduced to a single facility on Tepasi, where the Tagge family was still well-respected. Tepasi was a stronghold of the New Republic during the Hunt for Zsinj of 7–8 ABY and the Thrawn campaign of 9 ABY. The Essential Atlas, p. 200 By 137 ABY, Tepasi was within territory claimed by Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire and was part of the region known as the Core Worlds Security Zone.
