Description[]
Rorak 4 was an industrial world[3] that was located within the Rorak system of the galaxy's Hutt Space region[1] and lay on the hyperlane called the Shag Pabol, which connected it to the planets of Nal Hutta and Diyu. Another hyperspace route called the Gamor Run linked Rorak 4 to the world of Circumtore.[2] Rorak 4 was orbited by the Rorak 5 space station and was the site of the largest slave market in the Hutt Space.[3]
History[]
The Rorak system was located within the territory controlled by the Hutt species at least as early as the year 11,000 BBY.[5] and the area of space surrounding the planet was considered well-explored by 8000 BBY.[6] The local population average of the region of space containing Rorak 4 around the year 25 ABY ranged from 10 million to 500 million.[4] At some point between 26 ABY and 27 ABY the Rorak system was attacked by the military forces of the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong species during their conquest of the galaxy,[7] and the star system was held under the control of those invaders until at least 27 ABY.[8]
Behind the scenes[]
Rorak 4 was first mentioned in The Essential Atlas—a reference book co-authored by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace, and published on August 18, 2009—which placed the planet in grid square S-12.
