Shaliz'Na

The Shaliz'Na were a sentient species native to the planet Shar'Ack. The species had large wings, some with wingspans of 12 foot, and their bodies were covered in a fine down. Shaliz'na placed a premium on art of all forms, from music to sculptures to paintings. As a species, they were addicted to alcohol, and when conquered by the Galactic Empire, liquor was strictly controlled on the world. Some members of the species left their homeworld in an attempt to break their addiction; the musician Tyric was one such Shaliz'Na, eventually joining the Alliance to Restore the Republic in its struggle to overthrow the Empire.
