The Elathan were a sentient species[1] native to the planet Elatha in the Stensen sector of the Outer Rim Territories.[2][3] They had their first contact with the wider galaxy between the years 500–340 BBY, when they were visited by the Chu'unthor, a vast training ship operated by the Jedi Order. This first contact encounter garnered significant media attention across the galaxy.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Elathan had first contact with the Jedi of the Chu'unthor starship.

The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion on the Jedi Council Forums (Literature board; posted by jasonfry on December 11, 2007, 7:59am; accessed October 19, 2012): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (backup link) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Elatha appears to be one such case.
