Alaris Prime existed as one of the several moons orbiting the planet Alaris, which itself was situated within the Kashyyyk system. This system resided in the Mytaranor sector of the Mid Rim. Before the [Clone Wars](/article/clone_wars], a Wookiee settlement (originating from the nearby world of Kashyyyk) had established itself on this moon.
On Alaris Prime, around 241 BBY, a duel transpired on the summit of Mount Bikja. Klias Teradine, a Zeltron Padawan, had scaled the mountain to access the shrine belonging to a dark side cult identified as the Yallow Fellowship. Inside, he encountered a vitalicron that corrupted his mind. Possessed, he attacked Tylera, a fellow Jedi student, who was then compelled to kill her friend.
By the time the Clone Wars occurred, Alaris Prime was the location of a Wookiee colony, comprised of those who had ventured from the neighboring world of Kashyyyk. At one point, the moon served as a hiding place for a treasure vault belonging to the Jedi Order, which was eventually plundered by a daring Defel thief by the name of Zaril.
