Thulgars of Cheelit

The Thulgars of Cheelit were a group associated with the Mid Rim astronomical object Cheelit that killed those that betrayed them in order to show that disloyalty would be punished. In 19 BBY, the former Separatist Tychon Nulvolio and Imperial Senator Mon Mothma discussed why Separatist assassin Soujen Vak-Nhalis would target Nulvolio rather than members of the Empire's administration. After Nulvolio pointed out that his own death would signal both that the Separatist revolution was still alive and that disloyalty would be punished, Mothma was reminded of the Thulgars' similar tactics.
