Pelemaxian

The Pelemaxians were a social group that originated in the Colonies' Pelemax system. Generations before the Galactic Civil War, the Pelemaxians tamed the jungle creatures known as the tentacle birds of Pelemax as war mounts, capitalizing on their savage call, which could scare and confuse enemy soldiers. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Pelemaxians had begun using the birds as caravan animals as well as a mode of personal transportation. The Pelemaxians also sold the tentacle birds of Pelemax offworld; such exports made up a major part of the local economy.
