Aii`tkian Anthropologists

The Aii`tkian Anthropologists were a group of scientists active during the reign of the Galactic Empire.
==History==
During the Galactic Civil War, the Aii`tkian Anthropologists were present in the Dantooine system where they explored the system's Area D-502. There, they collected rare starship equipment that highlighted the existence of an ancient, space-faring species.Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed: Prima Official Game Guide In addition, they also operated in the Asair's Ribbon and Isryn's Veil quadrants. Due to the lack of protection provided by the Empire, the Aii`tkian Anthropologists had allied with merchants and junk dealers, such as the O.S.S. D-502 Junk Guild, to protect themselves against the Zel'iphian Slave Traders Guild. In space, Aii'tkian pilots flew Z-95-AF4 Headhunters.
Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Aii`tkian Anthropologists and the O.S.S. Junk Guild discovered a new strain of copper in the Dantooine system's Area D-502. Aii`tkian scientists then investigated whether it was worth to be used to manufacture starship parts.
