Iridonian (species)

The Iridonians, colloquially called Iridorians, were a warrior people with a particularly bloodthirsty reputation. Most galactic citizens feared them, for it was rumored that they would continue to attack a corpse even after the target was dead and turn against each other in battle when their bloodlust overwhelmed them. The Iridonians were rivals to the Echani and Mandalorian cultures, and members of the species were found on such planets as Manaan during the Jedi Civil War, a period of galactic unrest between 3959 and 3956 BBY.

The amnesiac Jedi Knight and former Sith Lord Revan encountered an Iridonian mercenary on Manaan during the war. The armored warrior told Revan of his people's history before Revan continued on his quest for the maps that would lead him to the Star Forge superweapon of the Sith Empire.
