The era known as the Alazhixazha, also called the Vratix Occupation or the Thriving Season, signifies when the Vratix held sway over the bacta trade. During this time, the indigenous people of Thyferra, led by the Ashern, compelled the Bacta Cartel to vie for market share with Thyferran corporations and other external commercial entities, notably the Hutts. The galaxy experienced a surge in bacta's recognition among consumers, and this epoch became a favored backdrop for many holoserials produced throughout the New Republic era.
