Tepasi/Legends

Tepasi was a planet located within the Tepasi system of the Core Worlds. It was a Core Founder, as its people often boasted.

Description
Tepasi was located within a star system of the same name in the Core Worlds region of the galaxy. It was situated on the Commenor Run, a hyperlane which connected it to Esseles and Korfo. The planet was susceptible to groundquakes, and forests, which supported predatory achtnaks, were present on its surface.

History
Tepasi was settled by Humans from Kuat between 27,500 BBY and 26,000 BBY, and around 25,000 BBY, when it was emerging as a hub of commerce, it became a founding member of the Galactic Republic. In 200 BBY, crime lord Tarzen Tagge used his fleet of small freighters to deliver supplies and crews to an area of Tepasi that had been devastated by a series of groundquakes, thereby becoming a local hero. By the time the area's production facilities and roads were rebuilt, Tagge had founded the Tagge Company, a construction firm which operated as a front for his smuggling operations.

It was the throneworld of the House of Tagge. It remained loyal to the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars and was loyal to the Galactic Empire. Captain Faro Argyus, a Senate Commando for the Republic, came from Tepasi.

After the death of Emperor Palpatine, the Tagge Company crumbled and its holdings were ultimately reduced to a single facility on Tepasi, where the Tagge family was still well-respected. By 7 ABY, Tepasi was controlled by the New Republic.
