History[]
The Lofquarians were the sentient descendants of a non-sentient avian species. They evolved on Lofquar, a subtropical planet located in the Lofquar system within the Chommell sector of the Mid Rim. Their homeworld was first discovered sometime between 8000 BBY and 5500 BBY, during the Subterra Period to founding of Rimma and Corellian Trade Spine.
It fell into the area of space known as the Trailing Sectors. They shared their home sector with the Gungans, the Jafani, the Karlinusians, and the Necr'ygor Omics. It became a part of Republic Space during the Clone Wars. In 25 ABY, their homeworld's population was up to 5 billion. Their homeworld became a part of the Darth Krayt's Sith Empire in 137 ABY.
