" At project completion all slaves were executed." ―Ancient Droid, on Dantooine This Tho Yor and those which visited other planets traveled to Tython, where the Je'daii Order, the earliest incarnation of the Jedi Order, was soon founded by the beings brought there by the Tho Yor. History Tho Yor Ī group of Selkath scholars and scientists on Manaan in 36,453 BBYĪround 36,453 BBY, a group of the native Selkath scholars and scientists entered a Tho Yor which visited the planet. Much of the underwater area of Manaan was uncharted and unknown, even to the native Selkath. Deep undersea caverns also served as homes to the native aquatic species, and the sentient Selkath built their cities, deep-sea pods, far beneath the surface. The Hrakert Rift was also home to a giant firaxan shark known as the Progenitor and other, smaller sharks. At least one of the major rifts, the Hrakert Rift, had deposits of kolto, which was harvested as it drifted to the surface. Since it was the only settlement accessible to offworlders, the only method of transit to the true surface of the planet was through a submersible from Ahto City. Ahto City served as the capital of the planet, and was the only surface city and spaceport. Located in the Inner Rim portion of " the Slice," it had no moons, and the entire surface of the planet was covered with water. Manaan was the second of three planets that orbited the star Pyrshak. " Water worlds never had much of an appeal for us to conquer." ― Canderous Ordo It also later became a flashpoint during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Under the manipulation of Darth Vader, the Order of Shasa later overthrew their Imperial masters, only to become servants to Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. Manaan did not have further contact with the galaxy until the Selkath were enslaved by the Galactic Empire sometime during the Galactic Civil War. When kolto was replaced in favor of bacta, the Republic abandoned Manaan, and the Selkath left Ahto City for their ancient cities in the depths of the planet's oceans. Ultimately, however, the Selkath banned the Sith from Manaan for trying to overthrow the government. Since the Selkath preferred to stay neutral, they did not favor the Republic or the Sith, however some rebellious Selkath did. During the Jedi Civil War, both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic attempted to get an upper hand in the war by creating secret deals that would give them more kolto. The map completed other maps found on Kashyyyk, Dantooine, Korriban, and Tatooine. Eventually, Revan would find one of the star maps leading to the Star Forge. This station fell in ruins when a Giant Firaxan Shark believed to be the source of Kolto and Selkath on the planet made the Selkath in the station go mad and rapidly kill the rest of the Crew. Hiding in the depths of the rift lay a station where the Republic was trying to harvest Kolto at its source, aided by rebellious Selkath who saw the evil of the Sith Empire. The only above-surface settlement on Manaan was the floating Ahto City, built above Hrakert Rift, an abundant source of Kolto. In the years leading up to and during the Jedi Civil War, kolto was so important to the galaxy that the Selkath were able to use their monopoly to enforce their policy of neutrality and autonomy. Controlled by the Rakata during pre- Republic history, it became independent following the collapse of their Infinite Empire. The planet was completely covered in water and was the only known source of the medicinal substance kolto in the galaxy. It was home to the Selkath, an amphibious species. Manaan was an aquatic planet in the Pyrshak system.
Only place where it occurs in the galaxy." ― Jolee Bindo Not for its water, mind you… it's the kolto.
