Telosian Restoration Project

The Telosian Restoration Project was an initiative of the Galactic Republic to restore the ecosystem of Telos IV after the planet was rendered lifeless during the Jedi Civil War. The outcome of this project would determine the Republic's policy towards the Outer Rim worlds—if the project was successful, it would consider financing the restoration of other planets that suffered from the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War.

To monitor the Restoration Project, the massive Citadel Station was built on orbit above Telos. The project itself was guided by Chodo Habat and his Ithorians. The surface of Telos was divided into "restoration zones", each of them having a unique code, and the Republic started importing lifeforms from other worlds—for example, cannoks, meant to keep the herbivore population in check, were being taken from Onderon.

By 3,951 BBY, the Ithorians had been challenged by Czerka Corporation, which, through not entirely legal means, attempted to take control over the Restoration Project. Their plans were different from the ones proposed by the Ithorians—instead of restoring the nature of Telos, they proposed urbanizing it. In reality, they saw the project only as a coverup—what they actually wanted was access to abandoned Republic military bases. However, the corruption within the Czerka department on Citadel Station was eventually exposed by the Jedi Exile, and the Telosian Council drove them away from Telos.

As revealed in Darth Traya's predictions, the Restoration Project completed successfully.

Team Gizka, a team of modders aiming to restore the Cut Ending to Knights of the Old Republic II, named their initiative "The Sith Lords Restoration Project" as an homage to the Telosian Restoration Project.
