Unidentified Majoor species A species of sentient , green - skinned humanoids made up at least part of the population of the planet Majoor , in the Expansion Region . Each member of the species had two three - fingered hands , a globular head , and thick lips . The species had access to galactic - standard technology by the time of the early Galactic Empire . Their architecture featured dome - and saucer - shaped , white - colored structures , some held aloft by narrow towers . Their government supported a fleet of spacegoing vessels , some of which were used to engage in diplomacy with neighboring peoples . To this end , the species also fielded ambassadors . During one such mission , the Ambassador Zell led a convoy to the planet Armath to discuss peace . However , the ships were attacked by the pirate captain Reddjak , who had been freed from incarceration on Majoor by Zell ' s own son , Llez . Llez had a child ' s romantic view of piracy , but the boy soon saw his mistake when he realized that Reddjak intended to attack his father ' s peace mission . With the help of his droid caretakers , C - 3PO and R2 - D2 , Llez saved his father ' s convoy and allowed Zell to lead a security team to Reddjak ' s ship to overpower and apprehend the fugitive pirate . Biology and appearance . At least some of the sentient inhabitants of the planet Majoor were members of a species of humanoids with light - green skin . Members of the species had four limbs : two legs , and two arms with three - fingered hands . While the children were much shorter , the adults of the species could grow taller than 1 . 67 meters . Some individuals developed a noticeable paunch , but other members of the species were more trim . The species had at least one sex , male . A defining characteristic of each of Majoor ' s green - skinned sentients was a round head almost perfectly spherical in shape . Only facial features broke up the head ' s smooth , curved surface . Two circular , black eyes peered from the center of the head from under black eyebrows ; when opened wide , the eyes revealed white sclera as well . The eyes produced tears when a member of the species was saddened . Two thin nostrils slanted inward from a spot below the eyes ; while some individuals had no appreciable nose , others had a small protrusion in the vicinity of the nostrils . Thick lips framed a wide mouth , which housed a set of white , buck teeth . A head of blue - black hair crowned the pate . Society and culture . By circa 15 BBY , members of the species had access to technology analogous to that used by spacefaring cultures in the rest of the galaxy . For instance , children could learn to pilot speeders , and adults fought with blaster pistols . The species had access to starship technology ; one type of consular ship was wedge - shaped and colored gold ; it featured a bridge large enough for several crewmembers and the captain , who sat in a round chair with controls in the armrests . Such ships were equipped for long - range communications . A small shuttle could fit aboard the consular ship ; one type had gold - colored plating and triangular symbols on it . On Majoor , the species worked and lived in dome - shaped buildings that were white in color . Some of the structures supported a long , thin neck topped by a saucer - shaped tower . They kept prisoners in dome - shaped incarceration centers , where they were watched over by droid guard s ; such droids also ferried prisoners from one facility to another on droid guard ship s . Less - high - technology tools used by members of the species included toy swords for children , and valises and backpacks to carry luggage . During the early years of the Galactic Empire , some children were avid followers of a program called " Space Pirates of the Galaxy " . At least some members of the species could speak Basic . During that timeframe , the garb of an ambassador from Majoor consisted of a purple jumpsuit with yellow trim , a light - blue sash , yellow epaulettes , a light - blue collar , medals pinned to the chest , and a light - blue helmet . The bridge crew of at least one consular vessel wore teal jumpsuits with helmets , sleeve trim , buttons , belts , and boots of orange ; they also sported yellow epaulettes and headsets . A child , in contrast , might have worn an orange jumpsuit with yellow buttons , a purple belt , and light - blue gloves and boots with a red - and - yellow - striped bandana tied around the head . Members of the species valued family , at least nominally , with parents taking care of their children . Indeed , single - parent households were not unheard of . At least some children had their own rooms , where they kept toys and decorated with posters . A bunk bed was one possible sleeping arrangement for children . Nevertheless , some occupations demanded a great deal of time from adults ; a diplomat , for instance , was often expected to spend long periods away from home , sometimes leaving their families behind , and other times bringing them along . History . The region of space containing Majoor was integrated into the wider galaxy by 15 , 000 BBY . By the early years of the Galactic Empire , the inhabitants of Majoor had achieved spacefaring technology and made contact with other members of the galactic community . Their world fell within the Expansion Region of the galaxy , and it had become a stop along the Hydian Way hyperroute by 3702 BBY During the Clone Wars , the planet fell within territory controlled by the Galactic Republic . By circa 15 BBY , Majoor ' s relations with Armath , another Expansion Region planet , had soured . The governments of Majoor and Armath agreed to peace talks , and Majoor sent an Ambassador named Zell , who had previously served as a Republic Space Ranger , to lead the peace mission to Armath . Zell was quite wealthy , and he purchased two droids — the protocol unit C - 3PO and the astromech R2 - D2 — to care for and tutor his son , Llez , whom he frequently left on Majoor while away on official business . During the droids ' first day on the job , the boy learned that the pirate captain Reddjak had been arrested and was slated for incarceration in the Majoor penitentiary . With a child ' s storybook notion of pirates , born of a diet of holo series such as " Space Pirates of the Galaxy " , Llez stole a family landspeeder to rescue Reddjak . At the prison , the boy stunned the droid guards with a magno - neutralizer and freed the pirate . The fugitive and his rescuer escaped into orbit on the prison ship and boarded Reddjak ' s starship . C - 3PO and R2 - D2 came along as stowaways . In his zeal to win the approval of his idol , Llez revealed that he was the son of Ambassador Zell , and that his father was leading a peace convoy to Almath . Aboard the pirate vessel , Reddjak made the youngling feel like a member of his crew of non - Humans . Only when the pirates intercepted the peace convoy to Armath did Llez realize their true intentions , but Reddjak ignored Llez ' s pleas to spare his father and ordered C - 3PO and R2 - D2 — whom he mistook for members of his ship ' s droid complement — to take Llez below deck . As the convoy from Majoor found themselves helpless in the face of the pirates ' plasma torpedo attack , Llez , C - 3PO , and R2 - D2 overwhelmed the Dyclops pirate gunner , and the astromech detonated the missiles remotely before they could impact . Zell and one of his ships ' captains led a security team to the pirate ship . There , Zell confronted Reddjak and defeated him , and the pirate was taken into custody . In the aftermath of the incident , Zell nearly sacked C - 3PO and R2 - D2 until Llez informed his father of how much the droids had aided him . The father also realized how he had neglected his son and vowed to take him along on diplomatic missions in the future . By 0 ABY , Majoor was part of the Majoor sector . Circa 25 ABY , Majoor fell within a region of the galaxy whose average population was between 500 million and 1 billion sentient inhabitants per star system . By 137 ABY , it was within territory controlled by the Sith Lord Darth Krayt as part of his Galactic Empire . Majoor inhabitants in the galaxy . By the rise of the Galactic Empire , the people of Majoor had full spacefaring capabilities , which allowed members of the green - skinned species who inhabited that world to travel throughout the galaxy . Even before the Empire ' s rise , at least one member of the species left Majoor to serve in the elite Republic Space Rangers . Around 15 BBY , the species ' ambassadors were among those who regularly left their homeworld to engage with members of other societies . Behind the scenes . The unnamed species inhabiting Majoor features in the of the " " comic book , which was published in August 1986 by Marvel Comics ' Star Comics imprint . The species and their planet were created by writer Dave Manak . Their appearance was designed by the artists John Romita and George Roussos , who respectively penciled and colored the issue . In an article published via the " Star Wars " Blog in 2013 , authors Abel G . Peña and Rich Handley summarize the events of " Droids 3 " , but they do not give the name of Llez and Zell ' s species . Peña later revealed that he and Handley simply had assumed that the name was obviously " Majooran " .
