Tellus, also known locally as Earth, was a planet located in the Helioset system (locally known as the Sol system) and was the adoptive homeworld of the Tellurian humans. It was once part of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, but was abandoned by the Rakatans, leaving the human slaves stranded on the planet, without a way to leave. Over the generations, the humans forgot their origins, and began to think that they had their origins on Earth. It was discovered again by the Old Sith Empire, but it was once again forgotten after the Great Hyperspace War.
