Kabieroun ( species ) The Kabierouns were a sentient species indigenous to the planet Kabieroun in the Outer Rim Territories . Their physiology was roughly humanoid , with a long , wrinkled snout that featured two dark eyes and a triangular mouth . The Kabieroun face hung from a lengthy , muscular neck that swooped forward from a bulky torso . With a large frame , Kabierouns towered over most Humans . At least some members of the species integrated into the greater galaxy , attending schools and finding employment . However , after the rise of the New Order , the Galactic Empire enslaved Kabierouns on their homeworld , and those members of the species abroad faced speciesism . Detien Kaileel , a green - skinned member of the species , served for decades as a security agent but turned to running blasters to the Rebel Alliance after the enslavement of his people . Appearance and biology . Although the Kabieroun body was roughly humanoid — with two arms , two legs , and a head — the frame was much bulkier and the torso much thicker than that of the typical Human . This overlarge frame made the Kabierouns an imposing sight to smaller species , giving the sentients an intimidating appearance that was bolstered by the great strength provided by rippling muscles visible in the chest , arms , and neck . While the upper arm was thin , the lower arm was bulky , with a bulge of flesh toward its underside . Scales covered the shoulders and arms , and the skin of at least some Kabierouns was green , its color darkening while blushing . Each hand featured five long , suction - cup - tipped fingers — two of them thumbs — and each foot featured at least two digits . A bulge grew from the small of the back , and a thin layer of white hair covered the Kabieroun body . Kabierouns had two sexes , male and female . The Kabieroun neck was long and arched , swooping up , forward , then down before jutting forward horizontally from its midpoint . Although the back of the neck was rounded , the underside was flat until the the midpoint , when it was rounded and wrinkled . The enormous head was characterized by a cleft skull that extended downward as a cylinder ; this was flanked by two large , flat , pointed ears . The Kabieroun face hung downward from the lowest point of the head , surrounded by waves of wrinkles . The visage itself consisted of two large , black eyes , a thin , fingerlike proboscis with two nostrils , and a triangular mouth with a red tongue , which remained hidden behind the rest of the snout when seen from the front . Kabieroun lips were pliable enough to allow the species to smile and make other expressions . Society and culture . Kabierouns could manipulate galactic - standard technology and even sit in chairs designed for beings with different physiologies . They could speak Basic , although some members spoke that language with a strong accent . One Kabieroun who had integrated into the galactic community , Detien Kaileel , wore a form - fitting , sleeveless jumpsuit and sported an earring in his left ear . Kabierouns expressed emotions in ways similar to Humans ; Detien Kaileel , for instance , pulled on his earring when embarrassed , smiled when content , shook his head when incredulous , and trembled when nervous . Kaileel also expressed emotions of annoyance , gentleness , suspicion , and discontent . History . The Kabieroun homeworld was the planet Kabieroun . It was located in the Nijune sector , part of the New Territories of the Outer Rim . After the rise of the New Order , the Kabieroun homeworld was seized by the Galactic Empire , and much of the planet ' s populace was enslaved . Years later , during the Thrawn campaign , the planet fell within neutral territory , neither part of the Imperial Remnant nor the New Republic . From 10 to 11 ABY , the Kabierouns ' home planet fell within Imperial Remnant territory . Kabierouns in the galaxy . Those Kabierouns who left their homeworld for the greater galaxy during the reign of Emperor Palpatine faced discrimination . Detien Kaileel was among those members of his species to emigrate before the institution of the Empire and before the enslavement of his people . He entered the Balaidas Academy to study police science , one of the last non - Humans to do so before the institution closed admissions to non - Humans under the rule of the New Order . After graduating with honors , Kaileel served as a member of the Mid - Rim Sentinel Agency for over 20 years , leaving the organization after being wounded while pursuing a crime lord . The Kabieroun then took what he considered to be a safer position as head of security on the luxury liner " Kuari Princess " . Kaileel grew increasingly concerned about what he perceived to be the misdeeds of the Galactic Empire . The security officer eventually began to use his security clearance to smuggle guns to Rebel Alliance operatives on the planet Mantooine , part of the " Kuari Princess " route . At some point in the years leading up to the Battle of Endor , his efforts came to the attention of the Imperial Security Bureau , and the Human agent Adion Lang was dispatched to the " Princess " to arrest the Kabieroun . Despite the intervention of Kaileel ' s friends , Celia Durasha and Dap Nechel , a firefight broke out between Kaileel and Lang , and the Kabieroun was shot and killed . Behind the scenes . The cover of " Riders of the Maelstrom " , an adventure for " " published by West End Games in 1989 , depicts a large , green - skinned alien seated at a hologame table with a Human woman as a smaller alien looks on . Although this image , painted by Daniel Horne , appears on the book ' s cover , the adventure itself contains no information about the game players . Years later , Peter M . Schweighofer , editor of the " Star Wars Adventure Journal " , wanted to use the image in his publication . He challenged author Charlene Newcomb to write a short story based on the painting , and the result was " A Certain Point of View , " published in " Star Wars Adventure Journal 8 " in November 1995 . Newcomb identified the green alien — Detien Kaileel — as well as his companions in the image . She also named his species as the Kabierouns and provided some background on the species ' enslavement by the Empire . The game statistics used for Kaileel indicate that the Kabierouns enjoy no game bonuses over Humans and other species .
