Background: Rattatak was a dry, arid,
mountainous planet covered in red rock, judging
by its appearance from orbit. Most settlements
appeared to be hewn into the rock itself. Rattatak's
climate was too harsh to sustain widespread agriculture.
The planetary judicial system is centered around the
gladiator games; those convicted, or even merely believed,
to be guilty were summarily thrown into the gladiator pits
for the remainder of their lives, short as they might be.
The Rattataki are believed to have descended from an
ancient Old Republic expedition, while the rest of the
population are from hundreds of Unknown Regions
worlds. Mercenaries often come to this world, but are
stranded by the planet's failed infrastructure. Most animal
species have been hunted into extinction, but a few alpha
predators still roam the wastelands.
