History
When the Trandoraba system was discovered in 6,819 BBY, the world of Trandoraba was the first to be discovered orbiting its star. Ignoring the presence of the native Srauwiles, a group of Trandoshans settled the planet in 6,793 BBY. It remained far from the attention of Coruscant and in 2,809 BBY Humans from Contispexus settled in the swamps, intending to drain them to create a new agriworld. The waters proved to be far deeper than they had anticipated and the sediment under the water was a mire that was sometimes kilometers deep. Around 300 BBY, competitive canoeing and kayaking that had taken place in the swamps for generations suddenly gained interplanetary attention from the bored citizens of the Galactic Republic. As such, the sport brought Trandoraba into an economic boom.

During the Clone Wars it joined the CIS but, except for sending several Trandoshan warriors to fight the clones, had no effect on the war. The Galactic Empire sent a small occupation force in 8 BBY but little activity took place until the planet joined the Rebellion in 4 ABY and fought the Imperials until they abandoned the planet a following the.
