Makeb was aplanet in theMid Rim that was invaded by theHutt Cartel during theGalactic War. It was a major source ofisotope-5, one of the rarest minerals in the galaxy.

Description[]

Located in theMakeb system in theAida sector[1] close to the edges ofHutt Space,[2] in a region ofthe galaxy far from majorhyperlanes, Makeb was anoceanicplanet[3] whoseatmosphere featured enormous amounts of electromagnetic interference in its upper levels.[4] The planet's gravity, while below standard, possessed unique anomalies that resulted in the formation of many massive stone pillars across Makeb's surface. The pillars, which reached high above Makeb's cloud layer and were often large enough to contain entire cities on the plateaus and mesas that topped them, were riddled with complex cave systems. The pillars and caves were home to both Makeb's native wildlife and numerous deposits ofminerals,[3] including the incredibly valuableisotope-5. Isotope-5 was a mineral found only on Makeb, and it was the reason behind Makeb's unique atmospheric and gravitational conditions, as the mineral had powerful warping effects on electromagnetic and gravitational fields.[14]

History[]

Early years[]

As a result of its secluded location, Makeb was not discovered by the galaxy until theMandalorian Wars,[3] a conflict between theGalactic Republic and theMandalorian warrior culture that lasted from3976 BBY[16] to3960 BBY.[17] During the conflict, a damaged transport carrying Republicrefugees—among them several wealthy businessman—crashed on the planet[18] after being caught in the electromagnetic interference in Makeb's atmosphere.[4] The businessmanSemako Thalien assumed a leadership role among the refugees as they built settlements atop Makeb's pillars, and the colonists quickly discovered that Makeb possessed valuablemineral deposits.[18] Forced to improvise mining tools, the settlers began to extract the minerals,[19] and once they re-established communication with the rest of the galaxy, Makeb became immensely profitable for the settlers within fiftyyears—a large part of which was the result of the influence and wealth of the original settlers.[15]

Talaos City

Talaos City

Remaining staunchly independent from the Republic, Makeb began to attract economic leaders, banking corporations, and wealthy tourists, leading to the rise in number of luxury resorts across the planet. TheAvesta family, a group ofHuman merchant explorers, established a number of profitable settlements in the early years of Makeb's colonization, and they eventually established theAvesta Mining Corporation. The Avesta family also helped establish theMakeb Business Council - the planet's government, and members of the Avesta family negotiated a trade partnership with the Republic.[15] TheHutt Cartel attempted to gain a foothold on the planet upon learning of its valuable resources, but the Business Council rebuffed their attempts[18] and forced the Cartel to negotiate a trade partnership instead.[15] Over the followingcenturies, Makeb grew in economic power, and though tourism accounted for a large amount of the planet's wealth,[18] mining remained the heart of Makeb's industry.[19] Makeb'scapital ofTalaos City was established near the original colonists' landing site, though the planet's inhabitants made an effort to keep industrial activities separate from the city. As a result, Talaos City became the center of Makeb's banking and technological economy and the heart of the planet's culture.[20]

In early3629 BBY, an entity known asGethul, which had been buried beneath Makeb for millennia, was discovered byJedi MasterAdelade. Though not yet fully awake, Adelade and her followers heard Gethul's "song" and fell under its sway, forming aCult of Gethul and attempting to fully awaken the creature. Learning of this and fearing that in its full power Gethul could destabilize Makeb's core and obliterate the planet, Eternal Alliance military AdmiralBey'wan Aygo sent a strike team to stop Adelade's plan. The team was engaged by the cultists of Gethul, as well as Chief EngineerPenzaren and local wildlife, which Adelade and Gethul were also able to control. Eventually they reached Adelade herself and after defeating her in combat, detonated theD-5X probe droid loaded with explosives inside Gethul's maw, killing the abomination and stopping its threat.

Behind the scenes[]

The planet Makeb is the setting of thevideo gameStar Wars: The Old Republic: Rise of the Hutt Cartel, the first Digital Expansion for theBioWare-LucasArts video gameStar Wars: The Old Republic. Makeb was first mentioned inThe Old Republic in a message from theSith Warrior companion characterVette. The planet was released as part ofRise of the Hutt Cartel onApril 9,2013 for players who pre-ordered the expansion, and went live for all players who purchased the game onApril 14.

Makeb has received the label of "the gay planet" as a result of BioWare's addition of same-sex romantic relationships to the non-player characters on the planet. BioWare had faced backlash becauseThe Old Republic did not include same-gender relationships, unlike the company's pastMass Effect andDragon Age game series, as well as their stand-alone gameJade Empire and evenStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic in the form ofJuhani, the first lesbian to be introduced toStar Wars. The developers promised that they would add the feature as soon as possible, but executive producerJeff Hickman announced inJanuary 2013 that the process's complexity meant that same-sex romances would not be widely available for some time. Hickman also indicated that the developers would compromise in the meantime, and the first major compromise is the planet Makeb. However, the decision has received criticism from newspapers and networks, as some writers compare Makeb to a segregated community only available to high-level players who have purchased the expansion.[21]
