In the initial period of the Galactic Republic, a devastating conflict erupted between the Aleena and Kindalo races. These two sapient races inhabited the Mid Rim world of Aleen. This conflict involved advanced weaponry and resulted in significant losses for both populations. Eventually, the Aleena and Kindalo reached a settlement, which placed the Aleena on the planet's surface and the Kindalo in the subterranean regions. To maintain this separation, the Great Seal was established.
As years passed, the Aleena's memory of the war faded, preserved only in spoken stories and intricate images decorating rock figures erected by the Aleena near their communities.
