Description

An ancient organization that seized the carbonite mines of the Empress Teta system, and then the entire system, thousands of years before the New Republic era. After the conquest its adherents froze the ruling Tetan dynasty in carbonite.

The Krath were among the first to use the freezing of living beings in carbonite as a way of keeping trophies; this was later imitated by criminals, bounty hunters, and the Galactic Empire. An ancient type of battle droid is also named after them.

According to semi-historical poems known as the Qel-Droma epics, the Krath was a dark side cult created by descendants of Empress Teta, and Satal Keto is named as its founder. The cult relied on Sith talismans, scrolls, and spellbooks, maintained ties with the Sith realm, and took part in the attack on the Jedi gathering on Deneba, where Arca Jeth was killed.
