Kaller

"Welcome to Kaller! How you liking it so far?"

―Captain Styles of the Grand Army of the Republic, during the Conquest of Kaller^[src]

Kaller^[3] was a planet located in the Kaller system^[2] within the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories.^[1] It was the homeworld of the Kallerans.

Description[edit | edit source]

Kaller was a temperate world situated at the intersection of three different hyperspace routes. Situated in a binary star system, Kaller had complex seasonal variation that saw mild weather shift into extreme conditions within days. Most Kallerans lived along fresh water rivers, building stone buildings in smaller towns and duracrete structures in cities.^[2]

History[edit | edit source]

Age of the Republic[edit | edit source]

During the time of the Galactic Republic, Kaller remained an insulated world due largely to the native Kallerans' culture valuing individualism, rather than collective achievement. While the Kallerans formed local governments and economies, the world's lack of an organized planetary government opened it up for colonization and exploitation by galactic corporations and extraplanetary groups, like the Mandalorians and Pykes. Occupying regional colonies, these groups mined the mineral resources of the world, driving many of the Kallerans into the resource-poor regions where they were permitted to live in peace under their own leaders.^[2]

While Kaller hosted many different groups and species, no offworlders ever held absolute sway over the majority of the planet. Local Kalleran leaders worked behind the scenes to create rivalries between the offworlders that would better serve Kalleran politics.^[2]

During the Clone Wars, the planet was occupied by the Confederacy of Independent Systems before they were repelled from Kaller by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars' final days.^[3]
