This page is about the science, history, and story of the Star Wars galaxy.

Chapter 1: The Rakata
The Rakata, also known as the Builders, were a scientifically advanced race that created most of the techonology used in Star Wars in the Clone Wars, Old Republic, and Knights of the Old Republic. These include the Star Forge and the Hyperdrive. The Rakata become corrupted, merciless warriors after long use of the Dark Side of the Force. They created the Infinite Empire sometime before 36,453 BBY and started a quest to conquer the galaxy. They conquered most of the galaxy, but the Jedi and a mysterious plague fought the Rakata, and in 25,000 BBY, the Infinite Empire collapsed. The Rakata were believed to be extinct on Lehon by 1,000 BBY. Some Rakata still lived on across the galaxy though.

The One, which was a Rakata who led the Black group of Rakata on Lehon, was encountered by Darth Revan at one point. The One agreed to help Revan if Revan stole an ancient tome from the Rakata Elders for him. Revan, however, never returned to the One with the tome, and instead sided with the Elders. Years later in 3,956 BBY, Revan, now a Jedi again, returned to Lehon in search of the Star Forge. He killed several Black Rakata and was brought before the One. Revan sided with the Elders once more and killed the One.

However, in 3,641 BBY, the Infernal group of Rakata rose as a threat in the Eternity Vault on Belsavis. They were led by Soa, the Infernal One. Republic and Imperial strike teams were sent in. They defeated the Infernal Rakata and killed Soa.

As of the Clone Wars era, it is believed that the Rakata are completely extinct. There still is the possibility some live on though. Even if the Rakata do not live on, their legacy still does.
