Kwa-Rakata War

"Ultimately, the Rakata wanted the secrets of the Infinity Gate technology. We refused to give it to them, so they made war on us, their benefactors. We did not give it to them."

- A'nang

The Kwa-Rakata war was an ancient conflict which took place during the Pre-Republic era.

Prelude
Many years before 36,453 BBY, the Rakata species made war upon their Kwa benefactors, who had taught the Rakata how to use the Force, when the Kwa refused to give the Rakata their Infinity Gate technology. Using the dark side of the Force and the technology that the Kwa gave them, the Rakata forged an Infinite Empire based on conquest and enslavement of Force-rich worlds, and they sought to use Infinity Gate technology to travel instantaneously between worlds.When the Kwa refused, conflict erupted between the two species.

Conflict
During the conflict the Rakata tried to capture one of the İnfinity Gates which was on their homeplanet Lehon.Many Kwa died during the battle in order to prevent the Rakata from acquiring the gate, & eventually destroyed it.Following this event, the Kwa destroyed or disabled the other İnfinity Gates across the galaxy before retreating to the safety of their homeworld Dathomir.Eventually the Rakata managed to come to Dathomir and decimated the Kwa civilization in revenge for the destruction of the İnfinity Gates.This caused the collapse of the Kwa holdings and the devolvation of the Kwa into the simple minded race (the Kwi).The Rakata even transported the native rancors to their homeworld Lehon as curiosities.
