[edit] History

Alsakan was once a Killik colony. The Killiks disappeared from Alsakan as they did from their homeworld, Alderaan, taken to the Unknown Regions, possibly by the Celestials 30,000 BBY.^[2] At least one Killik from Alsakan became a user of the dark side and was exiled to Sarafur.^[3]

In 26,000 BBY Alsakan was colonized by Humans from Coruscant in the colony ship Kuat Explorer.^[4] The planet was divided into many kingdoms until the King of Archais united the planet after the Battle of the Ten Valleys.^[3] Alsakan became a Core Founder of the Galactic Republic in 25,000 BBY.^[source?]

From 17,000 BBY until 3,000 BBY, Alsakan tried to usurp Coruscant's predominance seventeen times, causing the Alsakan Conflicts between the planets' holdings in the Expansion Region.^[5] The last of these saw the introduction into the Republic fleet of the Invincible-class Dreadnaught.^[4]

In 1,000 BBY, the Alsakan Tessent was carved to commemorate the Battle of the Ten Valleys. Native Dark Jedi Jilst Bindalin stole the Tessent and took it to the tomb of the Killik Dark-sider on Sarafur, whom Bindalin believed to have been a Sith Lord.^[3]

In 22 BBY, the Mothers United March was held in response to the Baby Ludi affair on Alsakan,^[6] as was a Refugee Relief Movement fundraiser.^[7] Alsakan remained loyal to the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, and one of the battles between the Republic's Victory Fleet and the Confederacy's Bulwark Fleet took place above this planet.^[5]

Alsakan was one of the Imperial worlds to quickly surrender to Admiral Ackbar's New Republic fleet.^[8] In 23 ABY, the Alsakan Tessent was at last recovered in the Moddell Sector.^[3] Near the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, it became a staging area for Yuuzhan Vong forces.
