Jazbinan

The Jazbinans were humanoid sentients with feline traits indigenous to the planet Jazbina. They were ruled by an aristocratic family, headed by Lord Prepredenko in 0 ABY. Many Jazbinans were opposed to the rule of the Galactic Empire but resigned to its rule, doing little more than complaining among themselves over its transgressions. However, when Darth Vader had Prepredenko executed shortly after the Battle of Yavin and imposed direct Imperial rule, the masses rose against him, led by Princess Syayna, who was the former Lord's daughter, and the Rebel hero Luke Skywalker.
