History[]

At some point, generations before 232 BBY, a group of Andravens settled on the hitherto uninhabited planet Andraven, where they cooperated to survive in its harsh environment. Their successes included utilization of heat stones, which could be found near the roots of bramble-covered trees, consumption of snowfigs, and the use of kao reeds to make flutes. The flutes allowed the early settlers of the planet to tame and befriend zaba wolves, which were otherwise a hostile predator.^[3]

By 232 BBY, Andraven children competed in the Andraven Ancestors Circuit, a trial in which each child would have a single attempt to collect three items important to the ancestors who settled the planet. They had to collect heat stones, snowfigs, and kao reeds, the latter of which the child had to construct into a flute. By tradition, they were able to use the help of friends to complete the circuit.^[3]
