History
The reclusive Callosians developed a sophisticated culture, centered on a lifestyle of scholarship and philosophy. During the Clone Wars Callos remained a neutral planet.

In 3 BBY, the Galactic Empire attacked Callos under the command of Darth Vader, after discovering evidence that Callosians were developing a new offensive technology intended to oppose those who were spreading New Order. Black Squadron, Vader's personal unit was assigned a carpet bombing over inhabited area, after the battle ended. Juno Eclipse asked if this was really needed, so Vader changed the mission to bombing a single reactor unit. The destruction of this reactor started a catastrophic chain reaction which destroyed the ecosystem of the entire planet. Though the atmosphere remained breathable, incessant ice storms and subfreezing temperatures prevented any further permanent habitation. Most Callosians who were away from the planet at the time of attack defied logic and returned to their devastated homeworld, presumably to die.
