Belugan

Belugans were an aquatic sentient species native to the planet Quarzite. Largely humanoid, the Belugans sported fleshy sideburns on the sides of their faces and had sectioned jaws that hid their baleen-like teeth. While the rest of the galaxy participated in the Clone Wars, the Belugans fought an ongoing conflict with the native Kage Warriors, who opposed Quarzite's tyrannical leader, Lord Otua Blank. Despite being equipped with advanced technology, the Belugans nonetheless encountered Kage Warriors during the latter's' ambushes on the formers' subtrams. This led to Blank hiring an outside team of bounty hunters to protect cargo traveling to his stronghold. Although the Belugan escorts were defeated, the bounty hunters successfully defended the cargo.

When the bounty hunter Asajj Ventress learned that the cargo was a living Kage girl who had been kidnapped from her home, Ventress ended up having a change of heart. Instead of delivering the girl to the Belugans, Ventress freed her and alternatively gave Lord Blank fellow bounty hunter Boba Fett, much to the dictator's surprise.
