Rattataki Species | Star Wars: the Old Republic

The pale-skinned Rattataki are made for battle. Centuries of constant warfare have weeded out the weak, shaping the remainder into proud, passionate, and deadly combatants. Even entertainment for this violent species is combat; the gladiator pits of their home planet, Rattatak, are the planet’s most popular amusement, well-known for being the most brutal in the galaxy. Exposed to their species’ competitive culture from birth, Rattataki develop into fearsome warriors.

You can play any type of character as a Rattataki, as species are not restricted to certain Origin Stories or Combat Styles in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

However, you may need to unlock the Rattataki species depending on what class you want to play as.

While they are easily recognizable as the “pale species with nose rings”, there’s a bit more to Rattataki lore. Compared to many of the species though, Rattataki current life and society is not very well explored, beyond their “gladiatorial” nature.

The biggest plus while I was playing as my rattataki inquisitor: I can wear all the hooded outfits without my character suddenly losing their hair :D

My main Sith Inquisitor is a Rattataki, Nela Kelan, later Darth Imperious, I gave her the surname Kelan as the name Kallig would change over the years, born to slavery as first a artefact hunter then a entertainment slave, her powers came when one became a little too frisky, much like my Mirialan, she was missing after the attack by the eternal fleet attack and aided in saving my Jedi Knight and becoming apart of the alliance, even deciding to sabotage the empire to bring down the cultur that treated her like dirt for the vast majority of her early like.

I recently returned to the game after a long break and I remember your videos from back then. They were a great help then and now and I always appreciated how much work you put into them. It wouldn't have been the same game without them.

I am loving this series...can't wait to learn about these "humans" species

[sofaking]

This cleared up a lot of confusion I had about Asaj, thank you.

I always wondered why the nightsisters didn't have horns, always figured they were Zabraks like the Nightbrothers.

Good ol lore changes.

I don't care what 'cannon' claims, Ventress is Ratataki. End of.

[tawneecalhoun]

First time posting. I enjoy your videos and appreciate all the work you put in. I have a rattataki sith warrior. His name is bane. He was a slave from birth to a high level sith lord. He was mostly used as labor and a play toy to their children.. When he first started to show force abilities the lord and his wife thought it was one of their children. Until one day they saw him force levitating a bed to get a toy he had kept hidden. Once it was discovered that their own children was not force sensitive they proceeded to be even more physical and mentally abusive. One day at the age of 16. He was brutality beaten by the two male children, now teenagers roughly the same age. As they sat taunting him to do something. He snapped and reached out with force choke and crushed both their windpipes. When the sith lord walked in and and saw a bloody bane amd his two dead sons. He went nuclear. He then proceeded to beat bane even more. Now this sith lord was very powerful but did not realize that bane was more powerful then him. With a force pull, bane took his lighsaber from him and decapitated him. The wife, calling for imperial guards had him arrested. The sith then found him in jail and realized his force potential. They then recruited him. Sent him to another sith lord for training who then sent him to Korriban once he realized he could no longer train him. Though bane has a growing hatred for the sith and empire. The old sith lord that took him in to train treated him as a son. For the first time bane felt like he had a father. The well respected sith lord then shared a secret. He practiced both light and dark force abilities. Embedded in bane a sense of honor and loyalty. Bane swore that he would be his own man and not treat others the way he was treated. So he walked the path of dark until he met vette. The one and only woman he would ever love. I know this was long and I hope yall enjoyed the back story. Bane is a neutral sith. He is not a blood craving monster but he is also not a complete innocent.

Awesome! Love this content!
My Sith Inquisitor is a Rattataki, she looks amazing with the Resilient Warden Armor set. 🤩

[KajiConanVT]

I hope there’s more videos like this I want to see a video about the Chiss and all the other species.

[KaiSaeren]

Oh heck yea, another one, keep it coming! :)
Id love to see theories about where the story is going, and like for example what the companions were doing in the time between we lost them and got them back, like just some headcanoning :D

[Xgamerdad]

My first BH was a fearsome looking Ratattaki. Still love him

[Shenaniloon]

Love the video. You said Rattataki so much that the word is just repeating in my head over and over again 😁

[Shepard]

Bought the Rattataki race for the sole purpose of that being the race of my Sith Warrior. Very much worth it

[hydraxon]

There are a couple of very talented Rattataki roleplayers on Darth Malgus, who are living legends: Mooki the Giantslayer and her bloodsister Djamir. *Absolute legends*

[FireLordJohn]

I’m a big lore nerd. Thanks for these videos!

[FullMoonEater]

Can't wait for the Togruta vid! These are great and very detailed

[MTCason]

I renewed my subscription recently after some years of absence and was horrified to see how inflation has struck the game. Basic dyes that used to run 20k-50k on the GTN are now over 100 million?! That will destroy SWTOR and is an instant deterrent to me or anyone else coming back. Something has to be done about inflation before the expansion launches.
