Lakogan

Lakogan were stocky reptiles with a snake-like appearance, that were native to Lako in the Hapes Cluster. The Lakogan society was all but destroyed during the time of Emperor Sheev Palpatine's rule. The species donated much money to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and volunteered as members. At the end of the war, the species joined the New Republic, until its destruction. Lakogans were generally pacifists, and valued etiquette and manners. They were very proper, however, many of the younger generation decided to join pirates and bounty hunter guilds, as they knew their physical structure would help them in shady professions. In 98 A.B.Y. a genetic disease ravaged the then millions of Lakogans in the galaxy. Lakogans working as thugs, smugglers, and bounty hunters throughout the galaxy slowly started dying out. By 120 A.B.Y. a cure saved the Lakogans, however, the result of the antibiotic that was created had a side affect. The Lakogans could no longer reproduce, so they could only wait as the species started dying out. With the proper generation of old all but dead, the vicious young Lakogans made the species feared for their work as assassins, smugglers, thugs, and other shady professions. As they lived for over 900 years, the Lakogans had a long time to make a bad reputation for the species. As of 199 A.B.Y. there were less than 200 Lakogans left in the galaxy. The final Lakogan left Lako in 201 A.B.Y., leaving the once great planet to ruin and abandonment. The planet would be forgotten, and was taken off of most Starcharts. Boba Skywalker-Fett took on a Lakogan as a partner at some point, and later said that the species were very tender hearted and were often burdened by others troubles. Despite this, Boba stated they were fearsome fighters, and were loyal to a friend or master. The final Lakogan died in a hospital, where scientists were recording its behavior so it would forever be a documented species and would not be forgotten. The date was 1,123 A.B.Y., and thus the Lakogans became extinct.
