The Mandalorian Wars
The planet was conquered by the Mandalorians during the Battle of Cathar, leading to the enslavement and near-extinction of the Cathar species. The few survivors were forced to flee offworld to survive. After the end of the Mandalorian Wars, the Cathar began to resettle their world and by the time of the Galactic Civil War, it had fully recovered from the damage the Mandalorians had done. Prior to the planet's devastation, it was not a member of the Galactic Republic.

The Yuuzhan Vong War
Cathar was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong during their extra-galactic invasiion. The invaders overran the planet prior to their attack on Coruscant in 27 ABY.
