A little-known species who were nearly wiped out by the Empire, but who also came back with a fury to help eventually take down the tyrannical regime that had once driven them to near extinction.
Icarii
A fascinatingly unique species who had the unique ability to survive dismemberment and decapitation, though whether this is due to their distinct biology or their connection to the Force remains to be explored.
Sakavian
Small gastropods from a frigid oceanic planet whose existence revolved primarily around their fishing industry; an industry which was threatened when overfishing affected both the Sakavians' livelihoods and their lives.
Lynna
A large, polychromatic feline species whose fur colored changed depending on their mood, and whose darkness-covered homeworld was visited long ago by the mysterious "Architects" who, through a series of golden orbs, gifted the Lynna artificial wind, rain and sunlight.
Pyn’gani
The Pyn'gani were Near-Humans who had long adapted to the extremely cold and harsh conditions of their homeworld, Polus, developing advanced shield, heat, and carbonite technologies in a relatively short time.
Bimm (Near-Human)
One of two species found on Bimmisaami known collectively as the "Bimm," this much more Human-like version was the space equivalent of both traditional fantasy dwarves and elves, loving nature, peace, and the thrills of adventure and commerce!
Ansionian
One of the newer species to be discovered by and brought into the Galactic Republic, who were tempted into seceding alongside the rest of the Separatists, but instead became so loyal to the Republic that they avidly supported the Empire when it came to power.
Pitrillistian
A rather large, complex, and colorful species originating from the old "Design an Alien" competition, known for their unique hands and musical method of communication!
Pikpik
One of the more unique rat-like species, a number of which who could be found scouring Bracca for valuable junk, though this is probably not their true home.
Draedan
If you want to talk about a species that got the biggest glow-up when transitioning from the EU into Star Wars Canon, the Draedans should always be a part of that conversation!
