The Unknown World was the homeworld of the Rakata and appeared in the computer game Knights of the Old Republic. A tiny world in an distant and long forgotten system, this unnamed tropical paradise world exists in the vast expanse of uncharted space known as the Unknown Regions. The Unknown World is covered by a world-spanning ocean with tropical islands dotted over it.

The Unknown World is also surrounded by a powerful energy field that can disable any ship's communications and navigational abilities. Over the millennia, the planet has become a technological graveyard, with its tropical islands strewn with the wreckage of spaceships unfortunate to have stumbled across the mysterious planet's hidden location. The Unknown World is orbited by the Star Forge, which has stood intact for millennia.

Millennia before the birth of the Republic, the planet was home to the ancient Infinite Empire of the Rakata. The Rakata were a scientifically advanced species, though they used their knowledge to enslave and subjugate other species. They were responsible for creating several technological marvels including the Hyperdrive and the semi sentient Star Forge which churned out war droids and spaceships. The Rakata built large cities on their homeworld, now crumbling ruins reclaimed by the jungle.

At its height, the Infinite Empire was comprised of 500 member worlds and had a population of 10 billion Rakata and a trillion slaves. The Rakata were cruel and barbaric to their subjects and were known to defile the bodies of their enemies by eating them. They were also responsible for the orbital bombing of Tatooine which became a desert world as a result. However, the Infinite Empire collapsed after a civil war between the Rakata and a deadly plague that only affected them. The Rakata then succumbed to barbarism and retreated to their homeworld.
