At one point in history, the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] became one of the many worlds that belonged to the [[Rakata/Legends|Rakata]] [[Infinite Empire]]. During that time, the Rakata made use of the world as a [[Prison/Legends|prison]] colony, where they placed many [[Esh-kha|dangerous prisoners]] that remained trapped for the millennia. It entered an ice age around [[5000 BBY/Legends|5000 BBY]]. Its inhabitants dwelt in three [[Volcano/Legends|volcanic]] jungle rifts. Later, during the [[Great Galactic War]], the Republic used Belsavis' prison, [[The Tomb]], to confine dangerous [[Sith/Legends|Sith]] Lords and war criminals. By the beginning of the [[Galactic War]], the [[Sith Empire (Post–Great Hyperspace War)|resurgent Sith Empire]] discovered Belsavis' location from the imprisoned crime lord, [[Ivory]], through use of a Rakata transmitter, and sought to perform a mass [[Invasion of Belsavis|prison break]], including freeing the imprisoned [[Dread Masters]] and discovering Rakata secrets. At the same time, the [[Tenebrae|Sith Emperor]] dispatched Executor [[Krannus]] to destroy Belsavis, which would have sent shockwaves into [[Hyperspace/Legends|hyperspace]] that would have destroyed adjacent systems, fulfilling the Emperor's intended galactic genocide. It was only through the [[Mission to Belsavis (Emperor's ritual crisis)|intervention]] of the [[Hero of Tython]] that Belsavis was saved.<ref name="TOR" />

Belsavis, also known as Plawal,[5] was a planet in the Ninth Quadrant, a region of the Bozhnee sector. Ice-covered, its average temperature was in the -50s. It was located on the edge of the Senex sector, at one end of the Belsavis Run.

History

Old Republic era

A community by the name of Plett's Well was settled in 88 BBY by Jedi Master Plett, and came to be called simply Plawal. The main Republic colonization of the planet occurred in 20 BBY, with many plants and animals being imported from Ithor.

Imperial era

Later, in 19 BBY, Plett hid a number of Jedi younglings in Plett's Well from the Great Jedi Purge, but the Galactic Empire sent the Eye of Palpatine to bombard Plawal. Fortunately, Jedi Knights Callista Ming and Geith Eris sabotaged the Eye, but Plett and the Jedi younglings were forced to flee the planet regardless. Some of the younglings, such as Roganda Ismaren, were captured by the Inquisitorius. Around 6 BBY, the Imperial Governor stationed a few tariff police on the world to deal with increased smuggler activity. Around 0 BBY, Brathflen Corporation and other fruit-companies established domes around the world. At the time of the Battle of Hoth, Mara Jade visited the world to investigate the rumors of the Jedi fugitives.[4]

New Republic era

The planet allied with, but did not join, the New Republic, maintaining independence. Later in 12 ABY, Roganda Ismaren later attempted a coup against the New Republic on Belsavis, attempting to make her son Irek Ismaren the new Emperor with financial backing from treacherous nobles from the neighboring Juvex sector and Senex sector, along with using Irek's Force abilities to control the Eye. Roganda was foiled by Luke Skywalker, Callista, and Leia Organa Solo.[4]
