The ancient Infinite Empire was led by Rakata priests long ago and once the great plague swept the galaxy and the slaves rebelled including one of the more advanced slave-species, the Kumumgah of Tatooine the Infinite Empire fell.The Rakata lost their connection to the force and thus could not use their own force-fueled technology and retreated to scattered planets across the former Infinite Empire and many reduced to barbarism such as the one's tribe on Lehon, the Rakata homeworld. But some tribes across the galaxy realized that they had done great evil and began to redeem themselves.. The most well-known of these were an enlightened, technologically-advanced tribe on Lehon known as the Elders. The Elders were a force of good who helped Revan defeat malak and the sith once and for all.
