The Quesoth were a sentient insectoid species native to the Unknown Regions planet Quethold and spoke the Quesoth Common Speak language. Divided by castes, several races followed the reigning Quesoth Queen, the Queen of the Red, White, or Black, which changed periodically, blindly. The Quesoth Soldiers, who understood the Quesoth Soldier Speak tongue spoken by their monarch, the Midli caste—who oversaw the Workers—and the Circling, a caste composed by several subgroups formed by the Queen's advisers and breeders, carried their Queens across their respective cities: the Red City, the White City, or the Black City.
In an attempt to rule forever, the reigning Queen of the Red in 8 ABY allied herself with alien warlord Nuso Esva—whose species were nicknamed the "Storm-hairs" by the Quesoth—and promised to help him in his campaign against the Empire of the Hand and Grand Admiral Thrawn. The warlord promised to murder the future Queen of the White, allowing the Queen of the Red to rule, while she would allow him to use the manufacturing facilities beneath the White City after capturing the location with the juggernauts they would steal from Thrawn. Unfortunately for her, during a battle against the Grand Admiral's forces, Esva killed her fearing treason.
