Virevol

Virevols were a non-sentient species of saber-toothed rat found only on Despayre, a prison world in the Atrivis sector of the Outer Rim Territories.Star Wars: Rebellion The virevol could grow to the size of wolves, and were considered formidable creatures by the prisoners on Despayre. A Brigian prisoner—known to be a former assassin—was rumored to have killed a virevol with only a stick, after which he was supposed to have cooked and eaten it. All the virevol on Despayre perished with the destruction of the planet by the first Death Star in 0 BBY.The Essential Guide to Warfare places the attack on the first Death Star and the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY. As Death Star establishes that the Destruction of Despayre occurs between these two events, it too must occur in 0 BBY.
