Nearly 2,000 years ago on the inhospitable planet of Kro Var, Darkside Force users fleeing the New Sith Wars crashed landed on the planet’s surface. The survivors who eked out divided into clans, and for many hundreds of years, experienced technological regression due to infighting. The leaders of these clans were Shapers, force sensitive individuals who only harnessed their powers to manipulate the elements Earth, Fire, Water, and Air, as they distrusted the 'invisible manifestations' such as telekinesis or mind tricks.
However though, the many warring tribes were suddenly culture shocked by a massive (in their minds) Trandoshan scout ship that decended into their sky. Frightened by the advanced technology which they considered taboo at the time, they did not know what to do with themselves. Before the few Trandoshan's even began to land upon their world they engaged in a massive clan war that once again, nearly resulted in their utter anhilation, if not for their new Masters, as more and more ships arrived. A fake "peace" was achieved by the enforcement of the Trandoshan's, which soured the already horrendous relationship. This is when the envy set in, of the technological prowess of the Trandoshans. Many attempts were made to unite against the threat, but as those who would want the power, the more they died and created a power vacuum.
This is when the Shaper of Kro Var in exile returned, expecting a harsh welcoming, but he did not expect the massive occupation of Trandoshan's. They were hunting their new slaves for sport, as they put up quite the resistance and killed many of these cruel reptiles. It was through this, and taboo knowledge that the Shaper possessed, that the "Conqueror of Kro Var" came to be. He relentlessly tore down the power structures of the other tribes as he stole control after the death of his entire tribe, influencing his subjects against their will temporarily, only to gain their support in him as their Cheiftain. Through warfare and an organized force, slowly the Tribes united, and defended with each other from he Trandoshan invasion. It would eventually come to be that Haru controled a whole third of all of Kro Var, and that is when he began his campaign against the sky.
His plan was brilliant, allowing some of his people to be hunted and captured into their ships, using their captivity to murder everyone on board, and enslave the flight crew. They lost many that day, but the fruits of victory were many. They, under Haru's leadership pushed back the invaders, and gained a very small fleet in which to expand. They have now traveled, and colonized the worlds of Varonat, and Isis. This allowed them to expand their navy with the discovery of the Isis ship yards, and the natives to the planet whom they diplomatically signed a treaty of coexistence, that has simply become a planet of the Kro Var Empire. Varonat provided the fledling Empire with fresh, and docile land, that provided all the food they could ever need for an army.
But it has only been in the last 50 years that the vast majority of Kro Var has been united into a single Tribal Empire under the First Imperial Chieftain Haru, along with the worlds of between Varonat and Isis. Though he stepped down due to his old age in leading the Empire, Haru's Son, has become under control, though he largely depends on his fathers experience. The Empire is divided into four parts where all citizens are admitted into these divisions at age 20 by their greatest potential in a specific element, as decided by a Shaper Cabal. Those who are not a Shaper are not moved. Divisions are the Earth, Fire, Water, and Air Tribes.
