House K'ntarr is a prominent noble family, part of the Royal House of Rydonni, that ruled over Rydonni Prime as a Corporate Monarchy. The K'ntarr family had been on the throne of Rydonni Prime since before the Battle of Endor. The K'ntarr family also owned and operated Rythani Products, a technology and weapons manufacturing company. The head of the K'ntarr family is the Chief Executive Officer of Rythani Products, while other prominent members serve on the board of directors and run the company's various subsidiaries.

The current monarchs are direct decedents of Queen Kalieva K'ntarr, Duchess of Rythani (and by extension King Rilvvan K'ntarr, Duke of Rythani), who reigned during the start of the New Republic. The current system of succession is cognate, in which the throne is inherited by the oldest surviving child without regard to gender. However, in certain cases, the heads of the Royal Houses can override the hereditary monarch and elect a monarch from a consanguineous House, or blood relative to the current Royal Family. This rare occurrence usually took place when the newly ascended member was unwed or had yet to produce a legitimate heir.
Limmie Connections[]
Since 267 ABY, the House K'ntarr had holdings in numerous limmie teams. The House has had a strong association with the Rydonni Prime Monarchs of the Elite League Limmie, the Balmorra Blasters of the Premier League Limmie, the Byblos Red Wings of the Limmie Futures League, and the Loronar Colonials of the Galactic Championship Limmie Association.
