B'ankora

The B'ankora were a sentient species of ruminants in the galaxy. Their homeworld suffered a cataclysmic collision with a meteor at some point before around 1300 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines which led the Galactic Republic to give them a small sanctuary, that eventually became the B'ankor Refuge, on their capital planet Coruscant. Chasen Piian, a Supreme Chancellor at the time of the Republic granted the land in perpetuity to the surviving members of the species so they could resume their sedentary lifestyle with humble homes, fields, and trails.
After the rise of the Galactic Empire, their Coruscant allotment was seized after an Imperial edict citing eminent domain was enacted. The entire species, around ten thousand individuals, was relocated to Parau VI, a dying world located in the Mid Rim which featured similar characteristics to those of the B'ankor Refuge. Not more than nineteen years later, the B'ankora had become extinct as a result of the Empire's actions.
