Unidentified species (Space ARC battle cruiser)

A sentient species at one point designed and constructed the unusual Space ARC battle cruisers as well as their complementing I-BEAM Star Fighters. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the species was believed to have been enslaved by members of the Galderian species—who used the battle cruisers in their enslavement endeavors—and to have possibly gone extinct a long time prior to that conflict.

By the time of the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, the starship building skills of the sentient species were considered to have be possibly been on par with those of the Mon Calamari of the Outer Rim Territories' planet Dac.The Essential Atlas
==The species in the galaxy==
At some point, a sentient species that, by the time of the Galactic Civil War, was not known to the wider galaxy, designed and built Space ARC battle cruisers specifically as weapons of war. The one-kilometer–long battle cruisers were unusual for utilizing tractor beam projectors for the launch and retrieval of I-BEAM Star Fighter, unique fighter craft which were always included in the Space ARCs' complement and were also designed by the same species.
By that time, enslavers of the Galderian species, which were active throughout the galaxy, used multiple Space ARC battle cruisers, which became associated with them—although the Rebel Alliance also possessed a few of the warships. The builders of the battle cruiser were believed to have been enslaved by the Galderians and to either have remained in servitude to them or went extinct long before the Galactic Civil War.
At one point during that conflict, after a team of Rebel agents had engaged a group of Galderian enslavers and their Space ARC battle cruiser in the Trebodar system, they set out to find, if possible, the species that had constructed the warships and to liberate them from enslavement and potentially recruit them into the Alliance.
==Behind the scenes==
The species was mentioned in "Strange Bedfellows," a roleplaying adventure written by John Zinser and published in the July–August 1994 fourteenth issue of the Shadis magazine for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. "Strange Bedfellows" includes a further adventure seed that potentially involves the species, with this article assuming the scenario plays out as described.
