During the Rakata species' invasion of the Tython system, the Infinite Empire of the Rakata seized the gas giant Obri and its moons, which was one of the Settled Worlds found in that system. This conflict occurred following an attack directed at the space station known as Fury Station, and around that same period, the Empire also captured the gas giant Mawr. Subsequently, the Rakata then struck the planet of Tython.
The initial reference to Obri's capture appeared in the comic book Dawn of the Jedi: Force War 1. This comic book, penned by John Ostrander, was made available on November 20, 2013.
