The Paecian Empire, a significant civilization of its time, flourished within the Outer Rim Territories during the age of the Old Republic. Established by the Human people native to the planet Paecia, this interplanetary empire extended its reach to colonize nearby planets, including Dathomir where they established a population. Around 3000 BBY, the Paecian Empire met its end, though its influence persisted strongly for many years afterward. Even three millennia following its demise, the Paecian tongue continued to be used on Dathomir.
The Kaarenth Impalers, the highly skilled soldiers tasked with the defense of the Paecian Empire, were known for their unwavering loyalty as warriors even thousands of years after the empire's fall.
