Rakata Automata Rebellion

The Rakata Automata Rebellion was a minor uprising that took place on, the capital of the , around 26,000 BBY. Thanks to the interference of a known as Bondar, thousands of Rakata automata were reprogrammed to rise up against their masters across the many planets of the Infinite Empire, as a diversion and assisting force that would help the other captive Shards, who were installed in automata bodies, to return to their homeworld of.

The surprise rebellion was focused primarily on Lehon, within the capital city, with some thousand or more security, assault and defence automata turning on the Rakata, and shooting them down in their thousands. Unfortunately for the Rakata, the dark side of the Force that they used to drive their automata empowered the robots, and it took significant efforts to destroy or disable all the automata. After weeks of conflict however, the final automata was shut down and sent away for reprogramming, and Bondar, being mistaken for another droid by hiding in the Force, was sent to to assist in the takeover attempt being made against the Sith who lived there. Minor troubles would arise over the following centuries, as the self-repairing systems of the destroyed automata restored them to functioning condition, at which point the automata would assault the Rakata again until silenced permanently. This sporatic and wanton violence was one of the major causes of the political collapse that triggered the Rakatan Civil War that would destroy the Infinite Empire.
