Nylath was a planet located in the Outer Rim, in the Ferra sector and discovered in 3,000 BBY. It was first colonized in 1,800 BBY by servants of Sith lord Nevath Jermin as he expanded his territory. The planet was conquered in 1,752 BBY by the Spri'lek Freedom Front following their rebellion against Nevath Jermin. Thereafter it became their adopted homeworld, which they expanded across and placed heavily into agriculture. Following the end of the New Sith Wars the planet was forced to submit a tribute of slaves each year to the Desilijic Hutt clan, but otherwise retained sovereignty. It joined the Galactic Republic but received neither protection or representation.
