The criminal clash known as the turf war with the Dank Graks unfolded in the High Republic Era. In this conflict, the Force-sensitive exiles known as the Dank Graks tried to seize control of the planet Takodana from the pirate queen Maz Kanata, aiming to eliminate the Jedi Order's influence from the world. This war stemmed from an earlier disagreement, decades prior, between Kanata and Arkik Von, the Geonosian chieftain of the Graks, where Kanata tricked him out of his dominion over the planet. Raf Thatchburn, an Inspector from the Galactic Antipiracy Command, tried to mediate the dispute and bring both sides to account, sometimes supporting Kanata's group when their goals coincided.
