Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
Cephalons were a long-lived sentient alien species that had ganglionic intelligence, with multiple sub-brains that sent information to a central brain. Cephalons had no visible sensory organs, and to communicate with other beings they had to use computers to translate their thoughts. They also perceived the galaxy in four dimensions, resulting in an inability to specify past or future-tense ideas.
Cephalons were present in the galactic community by 19 BBY. At least one Cephalon opposed the Empire as a member of the resistance movement known as Whiplash.
