Scaraphyte

Scaraphytes were acidic space-borne creatures. A swarm of them surrounded the Galactic Empire's Tarkin Initiative base Hivebase-1, and a specific flight vector was required to evade the creatures when approaching the base. Around 1 ABY, the mobile rebel flight school Lucrehulk Prime was lured to Hivebase-1 by the rogue archaeologist Chelli Aphra as a distraction to infiltrate the complex. The scaraphytes swarmed and damaged the flight school but eventually went erratic when they were fired upon by Aphra's droid Dek-Nil.
