The Vrassh were victims of a genocidal act known as the Vrassh Slaughter. Despite the requirements of Pas'sic law, the survivors of the Vrassh slaughter had been compensated by neither the Pas'sic nor the New Republic as of 19 ABY. One of the students at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum was of the Vrassh. He had to learn to deal with the anger he felt over the victimization of his people before beginning his training.
