Corellian roach

A Corellian roach was a creature that was hard to kill and partially shared its name with the Core Worlds planet Corellia. Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, the archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra crashed the Tagge Corporation flagship Acquisitor into the Outer Rim planet Rocedila. Afterward, Tagge Corporation leader Lady Domina Tagge offered condolences to the smuggler Sana Starros, believing Aphra to have been killed. Once Starros informed rebel Captain Magna Tolvan of Tagge's belief, Tolvan compared Aphra to a Corellian roach, noting that if anyone was able to cheat death it was the archaeologist. Shortly after, Starros traveled to Rocedila and rescued Aphra, who was in fact alive.
