Description:

Since the beginning of time, Obroa-skai has been home to a species named the Obroan, tall and narrow creatures with elongated heads and lengthy limbs. The Obroans are extremely intelligent, but they lack the creative parts of their brains, therefore leading rather boring and uninteresting conversations and lives.

Nonetheless, the Obroans managed to establish several cities prior to the existence of the hyperdrive. They meticulously categorized all of their history, lasting a rather serene and quiet five thousand years prior to the formation of the Old Republic. The Obroans then created the Obroa-skai Library and Institution at the capital city of Obroa, one of the finest academies ever to exist.

Twenty-five thousand years prior from mode day, an Alderaanian explorer visited Obroa-skai. The Obroans, startled to discover life outside their serene planet, quickly prepared themselves for a period of exploration. Obroans who once lived peacefully on the planet adventured to find the history of the galaxy.

By the time of the Sith War four thousand years ago, the Obroans had compiled a complete database of all known history. The database was copied and stored in several locations: the Obroa-skai Library and Institution, the Galactic Information Center on Coruscant, the Corona House on Corellia, and the Viceroy Palace on Alderaan. Multiple back-up copies were stored throughout the galaxy, and the information was made available throughout the galaxy. The Obroans believed that information was meant to be shared, and that no information should ever be withheld.

A few decades following the Sith War, that policy was violated when the supreme chancellor was impeached with charges of perjury, bribery, and various other corruption charges. In response, Obroa-skai left the Old Republic, enforcing a policy of commercial isolationism. While nobody could enter or exit the Obroa-skai System, the databases on Coruscant, Corellia, and Alderaan would still be available. The two hundred and fifty years of this isolationism led to an empty period in the databases on Obroa-skai.

After rejoining the Republic, Obroa-skai divided the Obroa-skai Library and Institution. The Obroan Institute, the most highly esteemed university in the galaxy, was finally established three hundred years prior to the rise of the Empire, along with the Obroa-skai Galactic Information Center and the Obroa-skai Planetary Library. The so-called "library planet" remained serene in the Stark Hyperspace Conflict and Clone Wars, evading any possible conflict and providing information to both sides about their history and various other details.

When the Empire came to power, they seized Obroa-skai and stole the memory from the databases. In response, hundreds of Obroans joined the Rebel Alliance, and many more worked to restore the wiped database. Eventually, the Empire realized that the database could not fit on any other system besides the one on Obroa-skai, and the database was retued. Obroa-skai then declared neutrality and resumed their commercial isolationism until the civil war is over. The so-called "library planet" can be accessed from any terminal in the galaxy, but the actual grounds are off-limits due to the violation of the Obroan beliefs. It is a dark time for the scholars throughout the galaxy.
