The Fall of The Rakata

The fall of the Rakatan Infinite Empire represents a significant turning point in galactic history, marked by both the overreach of power and the consequences of reliance on dark side Force manipulation. The Rakata, once a technologically and militarily dominant species, forged an empire through the exploitation of the Force to control their machines, enslave countless species, and expand their dominion across numerous star systems. However, their dependency on the dark side of the Force, coupled with the moral decay inherent in their imperial structure, set the stage for their decline.

A pivotal element in the empire's collapse was the gradual loss of the Rakata's connection to the Force. Over time, their ability to tap into the Force diminished, severely undermining the technology and systems that had sustained their dominance. Scholars suggest that this severance from the Force may have been caused by a combination of internal corruption, the inherent instability of dark side practices, and perhaps a galactic-wide shift in the Force itself. As the Rakata's connection waned, they found themselves unable to control their advanced technology or enforce their rule, leading to increasing instability within the empire.

In 30,000 BBY, the galaxy is at a breaking point.
