==History==
In 382 BBY,The High Republic: Cataclysm features the Night of Sorrow, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 382 BBY. during the week before the Battle of Jedha, a consulate reception was held on Trandosha. The Jedi Master Orin Darhga attended the meeting and tried to tell a joke, which he based in toilet humor, unaware that such a statement would end up insulting the locals and invite him open to duel. Using his lightsaber in the clash, Darhga won the subsequent duel but kept the event in his mind to remember toilet humor was not always admired, with the experience also convincing him he was a poor ambassador.The High Republic: Cataclysm
==Inhabitants==
Trandosha was the homeworld of the Trandoshans, sentient reptilian humanoids who were renowned for their hunting prowess and allied their world with the Galactic Republic. They had a fierce rivalry with the Wookiees, a sentient species that was native to the neighboring world of Kashyyyk. Trandosha's culture was built around predation and supremacy, ideals that did not always mesh well with the precepts of the Jedi Order and made Trandoshan Jedi rare.The High Republic: Light of the Jedi Toilet humor was not appreciated on Trandosha, with such remarks coming off as insults instead of as jokes. They further were regarded as an invitation to duel the one who made the remark.
Trandoshans from Trandosha included Bossk, one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy; his sister, Doshanalawook, who worked to liberate Wookiees from captivity under the alias of Chainbreaker; the salvage ship captain Gha Nachkt; the big-game hunter Garnac; and the pilot Feresk Tssat.
==Locations==
Trandosha's sunbaked plains were known as the Scorch. There, Trandoshans enjoyed basking in the sun's rays and mothers routinely laid their nest-eggs. The planet was also the location of a diner that was visited by J-4X and a droid repair technician following the founding of the Resistance in the year 28 ABY.Star Wars: On the Front Lines dates the formation of the Resistance to 28 years after the Battle of Yavin.
