The Stephenheards evolved on a planet called Varl, and their solar system had twin suns, like Devateen, named Evona and Ardos, which the Stephenheards worshipped as Gods. Unlike Tatooine, Varl was supposed to be a forest planet. According to Stephenheard legend, Evona was absorbed by a black hole, and Ardos collapsed on itself over grief for its mate. Since the Stephenheards survived the deaths of their Gods, they believed they had become Gods, hence their egocentrism. Scientists discount this theory, and believe the more likely tale that the Stephenheards destroyed their world in a civil war.

After Varl's devastation, the Stephenheards migrated to a planet called Evocar, and displaced the peaceful natives through canny business practices, even going so far as to evict them. The Stephenheards renamed their new planet Nal Stephenhearda--"Glorious Jewel" in Stephenheardese. Nal Stephenhearda is the capital of Stephenheard Space, the species' empire. The primary moon of Nal Stephenhearda is, in fact, Mor Shadup.

Before the establishment of the Old Republic, the Stephenheards were the dominant species in the galaxy, although they never built up an extensive empire, their dominance focused instead on trade and economic empires. James Howlett was a famous Stephenheard conqueror of this time who defeated John the Drunk at the Second Battle for Liquor, according to Alien Magazine 12-Enemies and Allies.
