RACES WITH NOT MUCH INFORMATION AVAILABLE (P-Z)

<< < (3/3)

Cimter:
RACES-W:
Waroot - were a race from Ab'Bshingh who waged almost constant war against the Farang. The battles were incorporated into Crat Dakerno's game, B'shingh.

Wasbo - were sapient insectoids, one of many species that traded with the Killiks during the Swarm War.

Wasilsi - were an ancient race who once shared the planet Joralla with the Tikiarri. They were said to be much stronger than the Tikiarri, and were also their enemies. For unknown reasons, the stronger Wasilsi died out rather than the weaker Tikiarri. One of the most popular theories is that a plague that killed only Wasilsi spread across the planet.

Waterspouts - were a sentient humanoid species who were presumably composed of hydrogen compounds. A female waterspout was present as a manager at Crseih Station's Crater Lodge in 14 ABY where Lord Hethrir and other members of the Empire Reborn movement were lodging while trading in kidnapped alien slaves and paying a visit to the mysterious "faith-healer" Waru. Prior to a skirmish on the station, she reprimanded Leia Organa Solo's son Jacen for allowing his pet bat-like tappratine to feed on an expensive fish from the pools which decorated the lodge. In response, Rillao offered to compensate for the loss by having the fish placed on their hotel account.

Wehttams - were a giant humanoid species with red skin. The Wehttams' homeworld was Wehttam. They spoke the language of Wehttam.

Wetakks - were a sentient species that were serpentine in body-build, and had six hands.

The Ancient Order of the Whills - was a higher order of beings deeply connected with the Force. They had holymen known as Shamans. One of their Shamans was known to have discovered the secret of eternal consciousness and later, Qui-Gon Jinn learned the secret, allowing him to interact with the living after his death.The Whills kept a collection of stories, called the Journal of the Whills, that chronicled the history of the galaxy. A Keeper of the Whills was responsible for adding new information into it. One such Keeper was told the story of the Skywalker family's exploits during the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War, by the Astromech droid R2-D2 one hundred years after the Battle of Endor.

NOTE: It is a common misconception that "Whill" is the name of the unknown race of Yoda, but George Lucas has firmly denied this. Their form is totally unknown, so since the Whills were an early concept of the Force, some fans speculate that the Whills are of spiritual substance more or less like Wisties and probably immortal. However, this is unlikely to be true, as Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith: Illustrated Screenplay and The Art of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith both have Qui-Gon Jinn stating that he knew of only one Shaman who had achieved immortality.

Since the journal was composed in 104 ABY, it's possible that the events explored in the Star Wars: Legacy were not part of the narration. In fact, it is unclear to what extent the narration covered the history of the galaxy as we know it.

Wirutid - were hyper-intelligent fungus that evolved an ability to mimic a Human form to secure shelter and trap prey. At least one Wirutid, in the guise of a nubile young woman, prowled for victims among the patrons of the Outlander Club.

Wisties (also called firefolk by the Ewoks) - were a sentient species native to the forest moon of Endor. They were very small (they fit in Ewok palms), radiant creatures of possibly insectoid origin that had an appearance of a moving flame. Fire didn't have anything to do with their luminosity since they could be safely touched by other creatures, but, unlike most species, it was harmless to them. They seemed extremely simple, even non-sentient, but they had a language that consisted of buzzes and a form of government with a Queen as Head of State. During the time the rest of the Galaxy was ruled by the Galactic Empire, Izrina was Queen of the Wisties. The Tulgah witch Morag once used her arcane Force powers to set the Wisties on fire and bend their will to make them burn the Bright Tree Village and its life-trees. The firefolk set the forest on fire and nearly destroyed the village and more importantly, the soul trees. However, even as the Ewoks struggle to fight the fire, they free the firefolk from Morag's spell. In gratitude, they offer to help implement Wicket W. Warrick's plan to airdrop Master Logray's firefoam on the fire by guiding the gliders safely around the dangerous convection currents caused by the forest fire. As a result, the fire is quickly brought under control and the wistie's take the liberty of dropping a bag of firefoam on Morag to humiliate her in revenge. When the Ewok caravan that accompanied Mace and Cindel Towani in their search for their parents camped in the Endor plains, a group of Wisties were attracted by Logray's candle, carried by Cindel, and leaped into its flame. The candle was considered magical by the Ewoks and its powers must have led the Wisties to this behavior. Wisties are fond of laughter, and appear to possess some ability to either physically or psychically affect Humans and Ewoks in a manner that provokes it. The sensation has been compared to playful tickling, however the experience is extremely enjoyable and continues to be so long after an actual tickling would have become unpleasant.

Wizards of the Night Spirit - were a mysterious species formerly from the forest moon of Endor. At some point ages before the Battle of Endor, they came into conflict with Ewok shamans of Bright Tree Village. In the battle, likely with the help of the Sunstar, the Ewoks banished the Wizards from Endor to an otherworld, a devastated wasteland. The Wizards were trapped on the world until the time when two other moons of Endor aligned above the forest moon. The aligning of the moons opened a temporary rift in space from which one Wizard was able to speed through in a quick spacecraft. The Wizard was able to steal the Sunstar from Bright Tree Village and used it to open the rift again and keep it open so that the rest of the wizards could speed through. After a decisive battle, the wizards were defeated and pushed back across the rift and back to their otherworld where they were forced to remain permanently. The Wizards of the Night Spirit were the followers of the evil Ewok deity, the Night Spirit who may have been the Ewok representation of the dark side of the Force. Among other powers, they possessed two wings, large, menacing teeth, and a bone structure and anatomy that allowed them to survive in the vacuum of space, much the same as the Givin. The Wizards seemed to come in three varieties, with minor differences between the three. The Stranger's familiarity with the Sunstar, and their association with the dark side of the stone may have meant that their origins were tied to the creation of the shadowstone, the dark side of the Sunstar. The rift that the Wizards crossed to enter space above Endor may have been a rift into otherspace.

Wode - were an eight-legged species native to a planet with a very strong atmosphere. They were liberated by General Solomahal during the Clone Wars.

Wreans - were the inhabitants of the planet Wrea.

RACES-X:

X'ting
The X'ting are an insectoid species, native to the planet Cestus, that change gender every three years. This species proved to be dying out in the novel The Cestus Deception.

Xexto
The Xexto are short, (1.30m [4'3"] max), have four arms, two legs and long necks. They hail from the planet Troiken. Some examples of a prominent Xexto is Gasgano, the Podracer pilot; and Yarael Poof, Jedi Master and one of the last members of the Jedi Council before the Great Jedi Purge, who was a member of a genetically altered sect of Xexto, the Quermians.

RACES-Y:
Y'taa - were the natives of Y'taa.

Yalarans - were an extinct primitive race from the planet Yalara. Jedi Master Broden Kel Verdox installed a cloaking device on the planet to keep other planets from discovering the Yalarans until they were ready to integrate into the rest of the Galaxy. However this never happened - they were thought to have been wiped out by Noghri that Darth Vader sent to wipe out the population when he discovered their planet.

Yanthan - were a sentient species notable for its dexterity.

Yao - were an intelligent species. Formayj was a Yao.

Yatir - were a species native to Absit.

Yimi - were a species of sentient, diminutive large-skulled humanoids that were indigenous to the world of Kathol. They were created by the DarkStryder and contained large brains which were flash printed with necessary skills. They were created to be extremely loyal to their creator. Despite their complex brains they were unable to learn new skills that were not flash printed. It was believed that the Yimi were crafted by DarkStryder to be twisted versions of the ancient Kathol themselves, as a cruel joke on its own creators.

Yns - were a diminutive humanoid race. They were represented in the New Republic Senate by Wwebyls.

Yoberrans - were a sentient species of octopeds from the planet Yoberra, in the Outer Rim Airam sector. The Yoberran racer Jomo won the octoped division of the Mobquet Presents: Fastest Land Beings race of 22 BBY.

Yonnas - were a species famed for their dancing. They were a feature of expensive entertainment. Threepio sarcastically refers to dancing Yonnas being part of the package when criticising the cost of hiring Han Solo to get Luke Starkiller and the droids to Ogana Major.

Yourellians or Ureallians - a race of large, slime-covered and deformed aliens, with green skin and gills, hunted and trapped Wookiees on Yavin. They spoke the Wookiee language Shyriiwook.

Yresilini - were sapients native to the Unknown Regions. The Chiss Dark Acolyte Sev'rance Tann was once tasked with creating an army of these creatures loyal to her orders as part of an experiment. She succeeded, and the Yresilini followed her everywhere.

Zarracines - were the native species of Zarracina III. When they resisted Galactic Republic conquest when their homeworld was discovered by the greater galaxy in 11,660 BBY, the Republic fleet bombarded the surface of their planet, leaving an irradiated wasteland. The surviving Zarracines adopted nomadism and eternal enmity against the Republic. Many joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, including assassins who targeted Tannon Praji, only to be thwarted by Ottegru Grey. A number of Zarracines supported the Diversity Alliance.

Zeetsa - were a small spherical species with short arms and legs native to the planet Ord Cestus. Zeetsas had leathery skin. They came in at least blue and gray, but possibly other colors. The height of one particular Zeetsa was described as "knee-high," placing them at around .25 to .5 meters tall. Their skin changed colors or turned splotchy in times of heightened excitement or anxiety. Guntar and Shar Shar were Zeetsas.
Zeetsas were an important part of Cestian society in ancient days. The X'Ting would feed them and receive a food known as Lifemilk in return. Eventually, the Zeetsa developed sentience, and some of them chose to join general Cestian society, though others did not, preferring a quieter, simpler existence. Interestingly, these creatures were able to shape-shift somewhat, assuming and mimicking the facial features of others at will. While they retained their size and spherical shape, they were able to alter their typically hidden eyes, nose, and mouth to mimic someone else, as Obi-Wan Kenobi found out. Also, they could apparently defy gravity to a limited extent, and their preferred method of transportation was bouncing or rolling.

Zeku - were a species native to Zekulae.

Zisians - were Near-Humans with scaly green skin and orange eyes. In their old age, they often suffered from rheumy eyes and wrinkled skin hanging in loose flaps. One individual of the race was Ganar Tos. While the physical description of Ganar Tos seems somewhat reptilian, and the term humanoid is used in the text rather than Near-Human, he apparently expected to be able to have children with a Human woman, Bria Tharen. For this to be possible, the Zisian species would have to be closely related to baseline Humans.

Zizimaak - were a species of sentient insectoid avians that were indigenous to the world of Kathol. They were genetically created by the DarkStryder to serve as scouts. The race eventually escaped and formed their own society. The Zizimaak despised their creator, the Darkstryder, and developed a friendly alliance with the Charr Ontee and the Yapi though they fed on the Segmi. Unlike the other genetically made servants of the Kathol or Darkstryder, the Zizimaak had no connection with the mystical Ta-Ree life energy that existed on the homeworld of the Kathol. They aided the FarStar crew and helped fight against Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne.

Zoa'mon - were a sentient species. According to Evocar by Direus'Pei, they were made extinct by Xim, who justified his actions on the basis that they were slavers.

Zolanders - were the native species of Zolan. As their sun increased the radioactive emissions, the Zolanders created a skin-altering gene, accidentally making the genetic offshoot of the Zolanders, the Clawdite. After the formation of the New Republic, the Zolan Civil War broke out between the two species, and the Zolanders became dominated by the Clawdite, whom they previously treated as lesser species.

Zongorlu - were the native species of Zongorlu. The propaganda of Goodvalor claimed that the Zongorlu had nine major warrior-tribes on their planet, each of which had a vacation camp for its younglings on Serroco, these camps being destroyed by the Mandalorian bombardment. As a consequence, Goodvalor claimed Zongorlu were outraged, and those abroad in the Galactic Republic returned en masse to their homeworld, including their Senator, who asked for a leave of absence and a heavy assault cannon. All of this information was false, meant only to scare the Mandalorians out of attacking Zongorlu. It seemed somewhat effective, since it led many Mandalorians on Taris to pester Kublus Sornell with questions about what Zongorlu looked like. In truth, the Zongorlu were big, lumpy plants that moved about a meter per day. When the Mandalorians landing on their homeworld, the Zongorlu "kind of blinked." The Mandalorians grew so bored on the planet that some of them began to set fire to the natives. Kublus Sornell forbade this entertainment to continue, fearful the entire Mandalorian camp might catch on fire due to the rainless weather that week.

Zoolli - were a sentient humanoid species. They were almost exactly like Humans in appearance; their only defining feature being their extra-long noses.

Zybahhod Yenyoni - were a Human-sized species which were well-adapted for desert life, with some tribes being found on Tatooine. Their skin lacked sweat glands, and they had openings beside each of their eyes which housed salt glands to remove sodium from the brackish water they had to drink in the desert. They were semi-nocturnal beings and retired to underground caves when the sun became too much for their bodies to cope with. They were also known to play a unique instrument known as the "udjudg" with their "Y"-shaped naso-facial opening.

Zygian - were a species of sentients native to Treylon II, on the Outer Rim of the galaxy. They were noted for Zygian's Banking Concern and its subsidiaries, including Zygian Savings and Loan, which had branches on many Outer Rim worlds, including a branch in Mos Eisley on Tatooine.

Zylurians - were a sentient humanoid species with a bluish skin, long hanging nostrils and three fingers. The crew of the ZZ-class freighter Mingula consisted of four Zylurians who were all killed by a swarm of Ubuugan fleshborers. Boba Fett discovered the corpses when he searched the freighter for valuables.
