History
The planet was annexed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems following the fall of Coruscant. Like most low-population planets in the Outer Rim, it had no real relationship with the government and, during the Schism, declared it's independence. For a thousand years, the planet lived under the rule of a king. In the year 1122 ABY, the self-declared Thief King, Moran, fought a war against King Baran VII in self-defense. Following the end of the war, Moran became king over the entire planet.

Behind the scenes
The name of Tanith IV and the system is inspired by the Space Viking novel, by H. Beam Piper.
