The planet had formerly been one of humanity's [[Outer Colonies]] but had emptied of colonists during the war. Rojka and his followers found a place along a hidden river on one side of a desert, where they began to build holds that grew into Rak. One of the notable Sangheili that assisted Rojka in founding the city was [[Jat]]. By the time a creaky old ship full of human refugees from the war arrived at Carrow with plans to put down roots in the same area, Rak was already well-established. This forced these settlers to carve out a living elsewhere.<ref name="O"/> | ||

In [[2558]], a sweeping change in the governance of Rak took place. [[Thars]], a Sangheili in opposition to any sort of peace with humans amassed a large following in the city. Less bigoted Sangheili warned human traders to stay away. By July of that year, [[Greta]], one such trader, had not been to Rak for six months for that reason. Attacks on human settlers perceived to be living in Sangheili territory and on humans doing business at [[Masov Oasis]] were considered to be stemming from the political climate in Rak. | In [[2558]], a sweeping change in the governance of Rak took place.
