Delphidian

Delphidians were a group of related humanoid sentient species from the Delphidian Cluster, a stellar nursery on the fringes of Wild Space in the Mid Rim. The Delphidian all had finely striated, dark gray, or midnight-black skin with a leathery texture and black eyes but varied in their other physical characteristics. As such some geneticists thought that they shared a long-lost common ancestry, while others believed they were bioengineered as slaves by some vanished master, though the Delphidians themselves were silent on the subject. The species were part of a brawling confederation founded centuries before the Galactic Republic discovered their stars. The individual Delphidian species spoke a vast number of dialects and relied on a common tongue that evolved for trade within the Delphidian Cluster.

During the High Republic Era, Jorinda Boffrey was a Delphidian Jedi Master of the Jedi Order. Sidon Ithano was a Delphidian pirate captain who hid his heritage by wearing a bright red Kaleesh helmet. Ithano and another Delphidian, Durteel Haza, were both present in the castle of the pirate Maz Kanata shortly before it was attacked by the First Order around thirty years after the Battle of Endor.
