Description[]
Colla IV[4] known more simply as Colla,[1] was a terrestrial planet[3] in Inner Rim Territories, situated at the coordinates N-9 on the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] The toothspike raptor was a creature native to the world.[2]
History[]
On Colla IV, the resident Colicoid Creation Nest, a manufacturing company ran by the native Colicoids,[3] were contracted by the Trade Federation corporation to create army droids.[5] The Colicoids subsequently designed the the heavy duty destroying machine known as the droideka in their own image.[3] They then built them[6] and sent them in shipments to the Trade Federation, which initially paid them in exotic meats.[3]
The Trade Federation became a key part of the Separatist Alliance, which was founded following the Raxus Address[2] in 24 BBY.[7] On top of the droidekas,[3] the Colicoid Creation Nest produced additional droids and vehicles for the Separatists,[3][8] including the Pistoeka sabotage droids[3] and the Trident-class assault ships. The Colicoids designed the Droch-class boarding ships with a hull based loosely off of the toothspike raptor.[2] They additionally manufactured the droid tri-fighter in cooperation with Phlac-Arphocc Automata Industries, the starfighter's three-armed design mimicking the skull features of one of its Colla IV's most ferocious predators.[4]
