Orishen

Canon Linked from 5 articles

The Orishen were a sentient species native to the planet Orish. Known for their sense of nobility and honor, the Orishen were enslaved by the Galactic Empire and poisoned their homeworld in order to emancipate themselves. Characterized by the smooth plates peppered over their bodies, as well as their nose-slits and bisected jaws, the Orishen numbered only a few thousand during the era of the New Republic, during which time Orishen Senator Tolwar Wartol represented the species and vied for chancellorship of the Republic with Mon Mothma.
