Star Wars: Apocrypha Heritage
By

In the vast darkness of space a planet of endless sand and heat circled two suns.
For longer than recorded history Tatooine had spun a lonely vigil through the universe. Before the Galactic Empire rose or the Galactic Republic was a distant dream, in the time before the near mythic Infinite Empire was born, when the Kwa erected their first Star Temple to protect their Infinity Gates, there was Tatooine.
A shining beacon of life and hope amid the dark.
As the Kwa explored the galaxy, the race known as the Kumumgah roamed the lush rain forests that covered Tatooine and sailed the vast oceans. In time, among these people, arose a very small but special family. They were the first of the Kumumgah to wield what would become known as the Force. They became the shamans, the judges, and the explorers.
In time after the Kumumgah had spread to every corner of their world, they turned their gazes to the heavens. Longing filled them and they sought to walk beyond the sky. In time they reached the very stars, but the price would eventually prove far too great to ever be truly comprehended.
As the Kumumgah explored the vastness of existence, they traveled far, with some dwelling for a time on Notron among the Zhell and Tongs. Their influence spread slowly through the galaxy, reaching further and further, always with Those Who Walked Beyond the Sky in the vanguard. Until at last their world came to the attention of the Infinite Empire.
Slavery and fear followed.
Until a favorite son of The Walkers of the Sky led a rebellion against the galactic oppressors. The fires of freedom spread from world to world, until at last the Infinite Empire was thrown down. Yet, in their dying wake, those who believed themselves part of infinity destroyed everything Tatooine should have been.
They twisted the proud and noble Kumumgah into the laughable and contemptible. Reduced the shining beacon of life into a desolate wasteland. For the freedom of the galaxy Tatooine paid the price and The Walkers of the Sky wept bittersweet tears.
Yet Tatooine spun on forever entwined with The Walkers of the Sky.
Because though the universe turned and forgot, somethings are impossible to destroy. Things that go beyond history, logic, and reason.
For all that was best and true of the Kumumgah remained, forever roaming the stars and skies. In time they would return either knowingly or not to their ancestral world. They would embrace it however briefly and then would flinging themselves once more into the sky and the stars beyond.
Always, the Skywalkers' would return and always did Tatooine await them.
Author's Notes:
Not much to say, I wrote this waaaaaay back in 2015 and forgot about it. I did a few tweaks here and there. Hopefully you liked it. Also, I figure that some interbreeding while on Notron/Courscant happened *shurgs*.
