Rattatak

"Soon, the warlords were dead, and I ruled in their place. It was on Rattatak that Dooku found me, and I him."

- Asajj Ventress, reminiscing on her life on Rattatak Rattatak was an Outer Rim world unknown to the Republic during the time of the Clone Wars. The native species were Rattataki.

Characteristics
Rattatak was a dry, arid, mountainous planet covered in red rock, judging by its appearance from orbit. Most settlements appeared to be hewn into the rock itself.

History
At some point prior to the Clone Wars, the Siniteen slaver Hal'Sted was killed by Weequay raiders during a pirate uprising, leaving his slave, a young Dathomirian named Asajj Ventress, orphaned. She was found by Ky Narec, a human Jedi Knight stranded on Rattatak, who recognized her potential and began to train her in the ways of the Force as his Padawan. For ten years, they helped the people of Rattatak, becoming enemies to some but heroes to most, ntil he was killed while defending a Rattataki village from a Weequay raider assault, leading Ventress to give in to her grief and fall to the dark side. She vowed vengeance and killed the warlords responsible for her master's death, ruling Rattatak in their place.

Clone Wars
It was here that Count Dooku first discovered and recruited Asajj as he watched her emerge victorious at the gladiatorial death matches of The Cauldron. He introduced her to Darth Sidious who gave the dark side warrior her first assignment, which was to kill Anakin Skywalker, only to test the boy on whether he would be the perfect Sith apprentice.
