Kiros

"My grandparents were colonists on the Kiros colony who were enslaved by the Zygerrians during the Clone Wars. After their escape from Kadavo, my grandmother received a parting 'gift' left behind from one of the clone troopers she had shown her gratitude for rescue to&mdash;the kind of gift that doesn't make itself known until a few months after the Republic forces had departed, if you know what I mean?"

- Ikana Mafeen, to Rey

Kiros was home to a Togruta colony enslaved by the Zygerrian Slave Empire during the Clone Wars. The clone troopers helped rescue the colonists, many of whom showed their gratitude to their saviors and bore hybrid offspring shortly after. The hooker Ikana Mafeen could trace her lineage to the Kiros colonists.

History
"That's how my dad was conceived. After he was born and the war ended, they were shunned from the Togruta worlds 'cause of the biological shame he represented, kind of a living memory of the Kiros mass-enslavement, and they got pushed to the fringes of the galaxy under the Empire due to their racial purity laws punishing Human-alien miscegenation."

- Ikana Mafeen, to Rey

Kiros had a Togruta colony during the Clone Wars, comprised of fifty thousand colonists overseen by Governor Roshti. In 20 BBY, Queen Miraj Scintel of the Zygerrian Slave Empire ordered the kidnapping and mass enslavement of the colonists in an effort to restore her empire. The slavery of Kiros caught the attention of the Jedi, leading to an altercation with Zygerrian Darts D'Nar between Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. While making his escape from Kiros, D'Nar unleashed a blixus on the Jedi, which knocked Skywalker unconscious and ravished Tano. The kidnapping ultimately led to Scintel's death. The slaves escaped from Kadavo with the assistance of Republic forces, and many Togruta thanked their clone trooper rescuers carnally. These acts of gratitude bore hybrid offspring in some cases, although after the war these families were shunned from Togruta worlds because of the biological shame they represented in living memory of the Kiros mass-enslavement. Tano became known as the "Savior of Kiros" for her efforts in rescuing the colonists.

The Jakkuvian hooker Ikana Mafeen, whose grandmother had been one of the Kiros slaves who thanked her rescuers in the war, grew up on Jakku knowing of her family's heritage, and kept a poster of the so-called "Savior of Kiros" in her room at Old Meru's brothel in New Reslia. The pin-up depicted a provocatively-dressed Togruta teen wielding a green-bladed lightsaber. When Rey viewed the poster after befriending Mafeen, she was unsure if the depiction was of an actual Jedi Knight involved in the Kiros conflict, or an image of an historical porn parody.
