History

.

Battle above Lorta.

A battle occurred in orbit of Lorta during the Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire. Republic forces attacked the D-1Z prototype bomber on its maiden voyage but Imperial forces successfully defended the bomber.[4]

For centuries, religious fanatics from Lorta threatened the neighbouring sectors.[5] They believed that someday a Man-Hutt would sweep evil from the galaxy.[6]

During the Imperial Period, expansionist Lortan Fanatics eventually launched their murderous crusade, knows as the Reslian Purge. They swept across twelve star systems and destroyed everything in their path.[7] The Galactic Empire eventually interceded them and the Lortans were finally stopped in a series of battles in which Soontir Fel participated.[6]
