Outcasts (Taris)

The Outcasts were citizens of Taris that had been banished to the Undercity of the planet. They and their descendants were forced to live in dirt and filth, while having to beg, steal, and scrap for food and clothes. At the time of the Sith occupation, the leader of the outcasts was Gendar. When Revan arrived at the Undercity, he helped Rukil, an outcast who believed in a Promised Land for the Outcasts. Revan found journals in and around the City sewers which showed the direction to the promised land. He then gave them to Rukil, who led the Outcasts from the village. It is not known whether or not they were killed during the bombardment of Taris, however it is possible that they survived because of the shelter provided by the buildings around them. The Outcasts lived in constant fear of the Rakghouls, hideous mutants which could spread their infection to anyone. However, Revan saved them from the Rakghouls by giving the Rakghoul serum to an Upper City doctor who was able to reproduce it and cure the Outcasts of the disease.

Begining of the decline of Taris
In 4,156 BBY when new smaller tarde routes moved from Taris rendering the planet unnecessary and without the support of the Republic the planet began to fall into ruin and despair. The great city of Taris covered more than haslf the planet's surface the Kelp Harvest and the creatures of the sea were there the only food source. Abandoned by the Republic the Tarisian Industrialist In began to use the power source they wished to use which was some form of Toxic Pollution. The Toxic Pollution posioned and killed most of the in the sea Faun and Floura thus famine swept the planet. The rich hourded the remaining food and wealth for them selfs which was more than they needed, while the poor were left to starve and die.

The poor disgusted of what the rich had done, rebeled and so the Taris Cival War had begun. Millions of innocent's died, large sections of Taris destroyed or abandoned, the rebellion was crushed in the end, the thousands of remaining disarmed rebeles were inprisoned. But the jails could them all so all were insted banished to the Undercity unable to return to the surface under penilty of death. The prisons in the Upper City were rendered unecessary and any crimanals in the Upper and Middle City were banashed to the Undercity also unable to return under pain of death. Which to endure a life time of horror of starvation, Rakghoul attacks and Rahghoul infection's on the planet's origanal surface and even their desendents were forced to life in damnation.

Non human's also at the year 4,156 BBY were banashed and forced to live in the slums of the lower city. And so the law inforcement of the corrupt goverment has inforced injustece on the innocent people of Taris for 199 years from 4,156 BBY until 3,959 BBY ended due to the planet's Orbital Bombardment.
