Galactic Republic–Mugaari war

About a thousand years before the beginning of the Galactic Civil War, a brief, one-sided war was fought between the Galactic Republic and the Mugaari species over control of the region of the Outer Rim Territories then known as Mugaari Space, a semi-independent collection of eleven star systems. The Republic defeated the Mugaari and annexed these eleven systems, establishing the Javin sector. The Republic's victory paved the way for explorers to expand the surrounding region, which eventually came to be known as the Greater Javin.
