Official Star Wars History:
This Outer Rim world was the homeworld of the Dug species, and was first settled by the Old
Republic some 8,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. An outpost was the only outside
presence on the planet for several thousand years, until the Gran began to settle on the
planet. By the last decades of the Old Republic, the Gran population vastly outnumbered
that of the native Dugs, who found themselves in the minority on their own planet. The
native Dug population found itself subordinated by the garrulous Gran, and grew to despise
them. This led to a great deal of inter-species fighting and a power struggle which the
Gran eventually won. An arboreal world with stronger than normal gravity, Malastare was the
site of a series of famous podraces.
