Aantooine

Aantooine was a planet founded by two races that split into a struggle of two galactic empires. It was located in the Mid Rim. It was a temperate terrestrial world with oceans, grassy plains, mountain chains, and volcanoes. Because of its placement in the galaxy between the Core and the Outer Rim, Aantooine could view more stellar and galactic diversity than anywhere else in the Galaxy, and was thus a haven for astronomers and other scientists.

Theorized to exist around 65,000 BBY, the Aan race were a devoted people with considerably higher status than their lesser counterparts, the Tooins. Over time, the Tooins begged for the same amenities as the Aan, but were denied. The Tooins formed a new world army called the Tooin Clash Force which temporarily seized control of Aantooine's capital Antoo, before being defeated by reinforcements.

This new war then became interstellar, with each new world colonized by either side retaining a mark of their presence. As the Aan pushed toward the core of the Galaxy, they came across such worlds as Alderaan and Taloraan, and Manaan. The Tooins took control of what later became the Outer Rim Territories, founding such worlds as Tatooine, Dantooine, Klatooine, and Mantooine.

The war ended when another species intervened and destroyed both empires and their subsequent civilizations. Afterward, the Spalgar species of near-humans found the forgotten planet (when it was locally called Garpai'lcla meaning "One for the Spalgar") and settled there circa 14,000 BBY. From here, the Spalgar discovered Aantooine's gift, that it was perfectly situated for astronomical viewing.
