Society and culture
The small, red world of Rattatak floats in the Republic, and the native humanoid species evolved without the guidance or influence of other galactic forces. Although the species remained primitive, they quickly learned how to kill one another. Scattered resources on the planet led to struggles for survival, and the Rattataki never bothered with the benefits of barter and trade amongst themselves.
As technology evolved, the Rattataki focused all of their efforts on more brutal methods for murder. War became the norm. Over generations of fighting, most of the cities on the planet were reduced to rubble and huge portions of the planet’s population became victims of mass genocide. The Rattataki never developed weapons of planetary scale, so the bloody world from developing space travel, and the Rattataki believed they were alone the galaxy — they had no concept of galactic community, and only conquering their neighbors seemed important.
Those that discovered Rattatak were unscrupulous slavers common in popular reason to come to Rattatak, though negotiating an end of service often was difficult.
While war continued everywhere else, an enterprising Rattataki from a rare neutral province hatched a lucrative idea. If prospective mercenaries and slave soldiers had to prove themselves in gladiatorial combat, the credits generated from the wagering and the spectacle could be used to buy more soldiers and offworld weapons.
Thus the gladiator pits of Rattatak came to be, and many sprang up in what rare rare gladiator indeed who could survive multiple fights.
History
For eons, the Rattataki have been constantly battling themselves and their fellow inhabitants. Isolated from the outside galaxy, the Rattataki quickly created new ways to kill each other.
A couple of warlords had gathered an army in the south, but they were killed so they could never be a threat. Only their daughter, Asajj Ventress, escaped.
Rattataki soon learned of life outside their world, when a Jedi soon found young Ventress, discovering her incredible potential to the Force. Together, they united armies and brought peace to the planet. But some warlords and generals feared them and declared a truce to kill them. They only killed Narec, enraging Ventress. In her rage, she captured and/or killed the ones responsible for her master’s death.
