An idyllic world filled with vast green valleys and flowing waterfalls,Kiros was the site of a colony of Togruta artists, led by Governor Roshti. The artisan colony tried to avoid taking sides in the Clone Wars, but Count Dooku arrived on-planet with a droid army, and "insisted" the Togrutas accept his offer of protection. Within ten standard rotations, all 50,000 Togruta colonists had vanished.
