Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Ultraviolet was a range of radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Certain beings could view in ultraviolet, such as Defel, Umbarans, Gand, Kaminoans, Nediji and Hutts. Certain droids could be fitted with photoreceptors that could see in ultraviolet. In poorly lit areas, guards would activate devices that could scan with ultraviolet optics. Glowrods allowed possessors to use ultraviolet light.

Ka'Dedus was an ultraviolet star that genetically altered the Defel to see in this wavelength.
