The Vendarans were a sentient species of near-Humans—a classification for species very similar to base-line Humans, but which had evolved unique adaptations to their environment. Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, Second Edition, p. 133
==History==
The Vendarans inhabited the planet Vendara as the descendants of an ancient colonization attempt. The planet, which was located in the northeastern portion of the Outer Rim Territories and part of the Kwymar sector, included many rainforests and swamps. Therein dwelt the skeeg, a predatory mollusk known for its use in the manufacture of natural perfumes. The Vendaran culture contained legends of a time when giant sea-dwelling skeegs were hunted for meat and the creation of poisons; however, by the time of the New Republic, the modern skeeg was much smaller. The Vendarans had contact with the wider galaxy, including poachers that traveled to Vendara to capture skeegs.

Chuck Truett created the Vendarans for the West End Games sourcebook Creatures of the Galaxy, a 1994 supplement to Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.
