During the time period of the Great Jedi Purge, after Kazden Paratas died, Raxus Prime fell to the Empire. The Empire's factories were destroyed by Galen Marek soon after. Following that, Senator Bail Organa and Mon Mothma collaborated together and set up a small city of scrap metal. The city was meant to be a refuge to any exiles from the Emperor. For many years it served as a city. Later, during the Galactic Civil War, it was used as a war factory. Imperial spies located the factory and destroyed it. After the attack the Empire left, the place was then inherited by junk scavengers and Jawas.
Early history[]
Before the Empire, Raxus Prime was ruled by the Catpire. All of the junk on the planet is the ruins of buildings and other things. It was a metropolis. Buildings were every where, some buildings of the most notable buildings were the Catporer's Palace. No one knows why they left.
