Chagrian / Legends Chagrians were a sentient species of amphibious humanoids native to the water planet of Champala . Biology and appearance . Chagrians were born as tadpoles in clutches of three or more and raised in tubs of water in a family ' s private home . During this time , their arms , legs , and air - breathing lungs were developed . Adult Chagrians were truly amphibious , retaining their ability to breathe underwater while also able to function without difficulty in air . They also possessed acute low - light vision . The average Chagrian stood taller than a Human with blue skin ranging in tone from light blue to indigo . They were distinguished by two fleshy growths protruding from the sides of their heads , which they called lethorns . As they aged , the lethorns would thicken . Males also sported two horns growing from the top of their skulls . These were once used in underwater duels to attract a mate , and were seen as a sign of the males ' strength and virility . Females lacked the superior cranial horns , but had more pronounced and longer posterior head plates . These could reach halfway down their back . Chagrians also had very long black forked tongues . Because of frequent exposure to Champala ' s oceans , Chagrians lost their sense of taste by adulthood . As a result , they regarded eating as an unfortunate nuisance rather than something to be looked forward to and enjoyed . As they had little interest in eating , Chagrians consumed nutritional substances to replace meals . They carried sensors designed to scan for maximum nutritional value when forced to eat actual food . Chagrians had a natural resistance to radiation . This dated back to a period of solar instability coinciding with the early evolution of life on Champala . The entire star system was bombarded with intense radiation , and only those lifeforms most able to withstand the bombardment survived . Society and culture . As a species , Chagrians were generally peaceful and law - abiding to the point of becoming stoic and obstinate . Many Chagrians were motivated only by basic desires such as sustenance , shelter , and health - care . Chagrian government ensured that every citizen was cared and provided for , so the standard of living for the poorest Chagrian was high compared to the members of other species . Education was valued in Chagrian society and many Chagrians would travel off - world for advanced university studies . Most Champala - based Chagrians did not speak Basic , however those who traveled off - world learned it quickly . Many Chagrians believed the god - king Aram Acheron would one day burst forth from Logue Rock and lead his faithful to victory over their enemies . During times of war , Chagrians would wear red . New Republic lawyer Sul Dekkon often wore decorative spheres - - made of materials such as polished ebonium - on the tips of his lethorns . History . Civilization on Champala originated in long strips of coastline , where sea levels fluctuated wildly with the tides . Buildings in these ancient cities were entirely submerged at high tide , and Chagrians swam between them . Some multi - story buildings were not equipped with staircases or elevators at all ; inhabitants simply waited until high tide , then swam to higher floors . Once the Chagrians made contact with other species , they constructed starports and trade cities on high plateaus accessible by aircar . Around 529 BBY , a number of needy Chagrian locals were approached by recruiters sent by Hugo Bartyn . Bartyn wanted amphibian fishermen to settle a new city in Lamaredd and tempted these poverty - stricken individuals with promises of untouched seas in a new frontier . Once they arrived , however , they became slave laborers . A few years later , one of these Chagrians , Sirrik Olyeg , founded the Sailor ' s Union and was responsible of the liberation of all the slaves . During the Galactic Civil War , many Chagrians were moved to join the Rebel Alliance . They applied their aquatic expertise to the liberation of Imperial - dominated water worlds and played a major role in liberating Mon Calamari . Champala was one of the first planets to join the Alliance of Free Planets , and later the New Republic , and remained a staunch supporter . Chagrians in the galaxy had many different occupations . Mas Amedda served as Chancellor Palpatine ' s right - hand man during the final years of the Galactic Republic . Orso Meeto operated as one of the most prominent slavers on the slave world of Orvax IV . Sul Dekkon was a Chagrian lawyer who prosecuted the ex - Jedi Tahiri Veila in 44 ABY as one of his most famous court cases . Some Chagrians in Lamaredd obtain certain notoriety , including Sirrik Olyeg ; " Bantha " Burloo , a large Chagrian bouncer at Miss Mylla ' s Saloon ; and Ackrahbala , also known as " Crazy ' Bala " , the manager and owner of Ackrahbala ' s Swoops & Speeders . Behind the scenes . In " " , there is what appears to be a red skinned Chagrian .
