The Pestorivians were the sentient descendants of a non-sentient primate species. They evolved on Pestoriv, a temperate planet located in the Pestoriv system within the Byblos sector in the Colonies region. Their homeworld was explored sometime between 27,500 BBY and 25,000 BBY, during the Pre-Hyperdrive, Tionese/Hutt holdings, and the birth of the Republic. It fell into the area of space known as The Slice.
They shared their home sector with the Abednedo, the Besnians, the Candovantians, the Exodeenians, the Kexeerians, the Ludurians, the Ondoans, the Plovens, the Tholothians, and the Throovans. It became a part of Republic Space during the Clone Wars. In 25 ABY, their homeworld's population was up to 10 billion. Their homeworld became a part of Darth Krayt's Sith Empire in 137 ABY.
