Kashyyyk Royal Families

The Kashyyyk Royal Families were princely Wookiee kindreds on their homeworld of Kashyyyk.

Among the responsibilities of the Royal Families was deciding on the planet's stance in time of war. In 19 BBY, at the outbreak of the Clone Wars, their representatives accordingly met in the Kashyyyk Royal City, in a council dominated by King Grakchawwaa.

It is unclear on current evidence what the exact constitutional structure of Kashyyyk at this time was: although there were several Royal Families, the council seemed to defer to Grakchawwaa's opinion, even though he changed his mind in the course of the key meeting.

Initially, Grakchawwaa decided to maintain neutrality, but when news arrived that Seperatist battle droids had killed his son, he angrily committed himself to war on the side of the Republic, and led his planet into the conflict.
