Lontar

The Lontars were a sentient species native to the Lontar system of the north-western portion of the Colonies Region. Several hundred years before the end of the Galactic Republic, the Lontars attacked Batorine, a neighboring planet in the Colonies and the homeworld of the Blood Carvers, a feudal, reclusive species that was extremely adept at assassination.

The Lontars defeated the Blood Carvers so completely that their target species was driven almost to the point of extinction; the Galactic Senate, however, intervened in the hostilities and forced the Lontars to halt their onslaught. Although some Blood Carvers remained on Batorine following the Lontars' cessation of hostilities, most of the survivors were taken to Coruscant, the capital of the Republic, where they were kept in seclusion, finally joining the Republic in 110 BBY.
