Rake, a small planet of the terrestrial type, existed within the Prakith system located in Sector 5 of the Deep Core. This minor world orbited closest to the star Prak and was characterized by a desolate, rocky terrain.
The initial reference to Rake occurred in "Byss and the Deep Core, Part 3: Prakith," the third installment of the Byss and the Deep Core series of articles from Planet Hoppers. This was penned by Rodney Thompson and released on Wizards of the Coast's website on April 21, 2005. Rake's first appearance in novel form was in Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil, the concluding book in the Star Wars: Darth Bane Trilogy, authored by Drew Karpyshyn and launched on December 8, 2009. The Essential Atlas, a reference work that came out on August 18, 2009, situated the Prakith system, and consequently Rake, at coordinates K-10.
