Telos has recovered and become a popular destination for intergalactic tourists. About twelve years before the Battle of Naboo, the former Padawan Xanatos turned the planet upside down in his pursuit for personal power. Only the intervention of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi thwarted Xanatos' plans, and helped return the planet to its rightful government.
Telos is home to the native Ithorians, who are widely recognized throughout the Star Wars galaxy as the authority on planet restoration.
