War between the Esh-kha and the Rakata

The Esh-kha - Rakata War was an ancient conflict which took place during the Pre-republic era.

Prelude
The Esh-kha were a savage and violent race of beings. They were known to have arisen from their isolated homeworld, whereupon they began to cut a swathe of destruction across countless systems. These campaigns saw entire races being hunted to extinction by the savage Esh-kha, who expanded into their conquered worlds. The population of the Esh-kha expanded as their living space increased.

Battle
During this time, the marauding Esh-kha destroyed dozens of slave worlds that belonged to the Infinite Empire.These incursions eventually attracted the attention of the fearsome Rakata, who assembled a massive military force against this threat. Their conflict was known to have engulfed the entire galaxy which nearly saw the Esh-kha wiped out. Ultimately, the Infinite Empire won the resultant conflict and took the defeated hundred thousand surviving Esh-kha to the prison world of Belsavis. Once there, they were imprisoned within the Tomb in stasis beneath the surface, where they were kept in a conscious state, though immobile The Esh-kha were left in the darkness for thousands of years.

Aftermath
A monument of this achievement was placed on Hoth, where an interactive hologram detailed the punishment of the Esh-kha and that their imprisonment as meant for them to reflect on their mistake in challenging the Infinite Empire. Scattered mentions of this imprisoned army were present in numerous texts that were later available to the Noetikons.
