Moogan / Legends Moogans were a sentient humanoid species native to the planet Mooga , located in the Perkell sector . They were on average taller than Humans . Members of the species had hands and feet with four digits each , as well as green skin . Some Moogans had a proclivity for wearing headdresses , tunics and sandals . A group of Moogans led by the smuggler Tee Va arrived on the planet Mandalore during the Clone Wars to distribute bottled tea with a chemical introduced on - planet . That substance diluted the tea and thus increased the Moogans ' profits . However , the mixture , when introduced to the populace , poisoned some of the children in the New Mandalorian capital of Sundari . The Moogans ' plans were thwarted by an investigation headed by the Duchess of Mandalore , Satine Kryze , and visiting Republic Senator Padmé Amidala ; the smugglers were subsequently arrested .

Some members of the Moogan species wore headdresses , tunics , and sandals , particularly those of smuggler Tee Va ' s group . Moogans were not against committing bribery , poisoning , and other crimes to achieve their goals due to their inherent greed . They were capable of learning to speak Galactic Basic Standard . Tee Va ' s smuggling crew preferred blasters as a form of self - defense and hired Gotals to serve them on missions . The group transported their cargoes in a giant , ovoid " Shekelesh " - class freight gunship , which was capable of walking on mechanical legs upon reaching a surface . History . The Moogans hailed from the planet Mooga , in the Mooga system of the Perkell sector , located along the northeastern border of the Mid Rim . Mooga , while not positioned far from the Perlemian Trade Route , was largely ignored by the blossoming Galactic Republic until some point between 5000 BBY and 4000 BBY . Around 3956 BBY , the planet was in Sith territory controlled by Darth Revan . As the centuries progressed up to the Ruusan campaign , Mooga continued its existence on the borders of Sith space and unaligned territory . By the time of the Clone Wars , their planet fell under the control of the Commerce Guild and became integrated into Separatist space . Officials from the planet Mandalore , which had its supply lines cut due to its neutral stance against the war , began communicating with the Moogans in order to smuggle products to the surface and establish a black market . The smuggling ring was identified and decimated by Mandalorian Guard , led by the Duchess of Mandalore , Satine Kryze , and a visiting Republic senator , Padmé Amidala . The criminal operation was ultimately linked to Almec , the Prime Minister of the New Mandalorians . After the fall of the Republic , Moogan space was surrounded by worlds under the control of the Galactic Empire and remained so for the duration of the Empire ' s presence in those territories . By 4 ABY , the Empire had fractured into several rival territories . The Greater Maldrood was one of the outlying regions ; it incorporated space surrounding Mooga and held it until the territory ' s fragmentation between 9 ABY and 12 ABY , after which , Mooga ' s region was considered to lay within the Borderland Regions . The Perkell sector existed for several years , split between Imperial and New Republic interests until the Yuuzhan Vong War , during which many worlds surrounding Mooga were attacked and conquered by the invading Yuuzhan Vong . The space surrounding the Mooga system again fell under Sith control by 137 ABY , with the rise of Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire . Moogans in the galaxy . Around 21 BBY , smugglers led by the Moogan Tee Va and assisted by Gotals came to the New Mandalorian capital city , Sundari , where they distributed bottled tea diluted with a hazardous chemical , slabin ; the resulting admixture thus doubled their profits . All the while , the smugglers paid off the on - planet customs officials to distribute the product and overlook the illicit operation . The mixture ended up in the hands of countless Sundari schoolchildren , who became sick and were hospitalized across the city and the planet . The Moogans returned a few days later with another shipment of tea and once again bribed customs with Republic credit ingot s . Two Mandalorian police officers were used as guards for the dock warehouse in which the Moogans mixed the slabin with the tea . When the Moogans were discovered by Duchess Satine Kryze and Senator Padmé Amidala , Tee Va and his crew took up arms against the accompanying Mandalorian Guard forces and Mandalorian Royal Guard . The Moogans and their Gotal counterparts took down a police captain and two Royal Guards . However , the victory was short - lived , as Amidala and the remaining Royal Guard pushed forward a shipping container and closed in on the smugglers ' position , killing one Moogan crew member and a few Gotals . The surviving smugglers and assisting Mandalorians were arrested , and the smuggled products were subsequently destroyed with flamethrowers by the order of Satine . Sometime during the Clone Wars but after the corruption on Mandalore had abated , Moogans were present on the planet Zygerria , during its time as a slave world . One Moogan walked by a disguised Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano , who were on their way to infiltrate the government . Another Moogan conversed with a Zygerrian trader in the same alley . Later , during the Zygerrian slave trade auction , a Moogan stood by a monitor and exclaimed when Obi - Wan Kenobi was revealed as a new potential slave . Some months later , c . 20 BBY , Tee Va and his Moogan shipmates were once again transporting materials to and from Mandalore . Behind the scenes .
