Many of our kind even ventured out into the great sea of stars in search of new lives and opportunities. Like how the flutter of a single fin is said to culminate in a great wave, it seemed as though our actions caused the Empire to crash and disperse. Taking after the pragmatic stance of their namesake, the order sought the abolishment of the Republic embassy from Ahto City, thereby isolating Manaan from the ongoing turbulence beyond its waters. More and more, we Selkath turned to our Force-wielding Order of Shasa-so named for the brave architect of the Sith’s ouster-for guidance. We continued our relations with the Republic, but warily so, ever mindful of the pattern of transgressions visited upon us by offworlders.
The Sith were driven from Ahto City, their embassy razed. This revelation did not sit well with my ancestors, and the resulting tensions eventually sparked an uprising led by one of those abducted children, Shasa-by this point a powerful Force practitioner in her own right. He exposed a terrible truth-that the Sith were abducting and manipulating our youth, indoctrinating them into the ways of the dark side of the Force. While their truce on our world was tense, the importance of kolto to their efforts gave them no choice but to conduct themselves in a lawful manner.Ī visit from a Jedi named Revan changed everything. They even went so far as to allow both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire to establish embassies on our surface metropolis, Ahto City. Therefore, my ancestors wisely vowed to remain neutral in the galactic fray. Due to our history, however, we also saw how it could become a detriment.
We in turn came to see how valuable kolto could be. As offworld explorers eventually arrived on our world, they came to see our kolto as a vital resource in their contest for dominion over the galaxy. They enslaved us until their eventual fall, and we Selkath vowed we would never be placed in servitude again. It is with this concern in mind that I indulge in this analysis of the ebb and flow of my dear home, Manaan.įor a long time-longer than we have records for-the Infinite Empire ruled our world. If we do not first take stock of that which lies in our wake, we can never truly know how to negotiate the currents ahead. It is not a foolish endeavor to try and anticipate one’s future path, or even the path of an entire civilization.
