Raskane IV

Raskane IV was an Expansion Region planet located in the Sepan sector. Political tensions nearly led to a civil war on the planet around 3643 BBY, but the situation was defused by an individual affiliated with one of the sides in the ongoing struggle between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire. During the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance agent Matt Talon once claimed that he had caused the agony and death of an alien on Raskane IV.
==Description==
Raskane IV was a terrestrial planet. It occupied the fourth orbital position in the Raskane system, a part of the Sepan sector in the Slice portion of the Expansion Region.
==History==
Around 3643 BBY,Per the reasoning here, Act I of Star Wars: The Old Republic takes place around 3643 BBY. Since players of The Old Republic can assign their companions on the mission "Reunification" independently of the main class storyline at any point during the game, the mission must take place at some point around 3643 BBY. tensions between political factions on Raskane IV nearly led to a civil war. An individual affiliated with one of the sides in the ongoing struggle between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire dispatched a companion to the planet in order to determine the faction that would be the easiest to manipulate in the future. The companion was also tasked with ensuring the success of that party once it was identified. Eventually, the companion tactfully eased the political tensions on Raskane IV and directed the resentment of the planet's political leaders toward the most vocal proponents of the civil war.
The Rebel Alliance agent Matt Talon, who worked undercover as a slaver and had a violent personality and past, attempted to intimidate an individual during the Galactic Civil War. According to Talon's claims, he had once inflicted a trauma upon an alien on Raskane IV, with the victim dying after three days of agony.
==Behind the scenes==

The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Raskane system, and therefore Raskane IV, in grid square P-13. Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by BioWare, introduced the planet's alternate name "Raskane Four."
