Alaris Prime colonization resolution

Over a twenty year period, between 59 BBY and 39 BBY, the Senate of the Galactic Republic gave the rights to colonize the recently rediscovered moon Alaris Prime to the Wookiees from the planet Kashyyyk who'd discovered it. The Wookiees successfully secured the rights under the leadership of the Chieftan Attichitcuk, but met opposition from the major galactic company, the Trade Federation, who also had an interest in the moon, intending to use it as a trade center between various planets such as Kashyyyk, Kessel and Bimmisaari. The resolution took twenty years to complete due to the Republic attempting to avoid territorial disputes among the Wookiees. Following the resolution, the Wookiees began their colonization of the moon, but found that the Trade Federation had begun to occupy it illegally with the help of Trandoshan slavers, forcing the Wookiees to fight the Federation for the moon.

Behind the Scenes
