Cathar was the homeworld of the
Cathar species, filled with many ecological niches and huge insect predators.
The natives lived in city-trees, while wide areas of the planet were made barren by kiltik beetles.
The Giant horned hopper were often killed by the Cathar species in blood hunts.
The planet was conquered by the Mandalorians during the
Battle of Cathar (3973 BBY), leading to the enslavement and near-extinction of the Cathar species. The few survivors were forced to flee offworld to survive. After the end of the
Mandalorian Wars (3976-3964 BBY) Cathar began to resettle their world and by the time of the
Galactic Civil War (2 BBY - 4 ABY), it had fully recovered from the damage the Mandalorians had done. Prior to the planet's devastation, it was not a member of the Galactic Republic.
The planet Cathar is located in grid square N-6.
