Planetary History
Barkhesh was first inhabited by Rodian Spacers, making the planet into a small trading hub. Some say the Evocii were there before the Rodians, but it is a argued over by the Barkheshi natives. The hub grew into the small city of Bark-ha, growing populated with Humans.

Bark-ha grew larger when Tyruss Karkano claimed the planet for the Shadow Cartel, a criminal organization held in the Outer Rim. Tyruss' son, Shane took over after Tyruss' death on Nar Shaddaa. Shane ruled smartly, but fiercly. When Shane was murdered by Savro Faas in the first Battle of Barkhesh between the Hutts and the Shadow Cartel, Jasonn Karkano took charge.

Jasonn was a big Republic Sympathiser. When he took control of the Shadow Cartel, he signed over leadership to his right hand man, Dalos, in exchange for Barkhesh. Dalos agreed and Jasonn became the first King of Barkhesh. Jasonn began to work with the Republic and fought the Empire from his small planet. The Imperials invaded, starting the Second Battle of Barkhesh. The Republic sent Jedi Master Cato Hadrix to lead Republic troops, while the Empire sent Darth Krios. Hadrix's experience paid off and the Empire was fought back into a hasty retreat. Jasonn still rules Barkhesh to this day.
