Dawnstar Pact

The Dawnstar Pact, also known as the Covenant of the Five, was an ancient intergalactic alliance between the most advanced and powerful races of the galaxy, established sometime prior to 2,000,000 BBY. Built upon the foundation of cooperation and assurance of maintaining relative peace and order through the ever growing galaxy, the Dawnstar Pact was comprised of five species; the Celestials, the Kathol, the Xaxax, the Icarites and the Vhas'Ni.

Over time, as other species of the galaxy began to branch out into the galaxy, new races were eventually included as subservient members of the Covenant of the Five. The Celestials, for instance, had at least four subservient races; the Killiks, the Kwa, the Gree, and the Rakata, who were technologically enlightened by the Kwa. On the other hand, the Kathol had as many as ten subservient races, the Charr Ontee, the Krakai, the Maoi, the Segmi, the Ssamb, the Yapi, the Yimi, the Zizimaak and the Tesari. In contrast to both, the Xaxax possessed no subservient races, and remained fairly isolated from the vast majority of the then-galactic community.

At some point prior to the establishment of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, the Dawnstar Pact had dissolved, and by the time the Rakatan had begun to seize control of the galaxy, only the Celestials stood in their way before achieving galactic dominance. Following the galaxy coming under Rakatan control, all five of the founding races of the Dawnstar Pact were believed to have fallen into extinction.
