Legend

this is one of two major factions of the winged creatures native to the caves of Nirauan. Like their brethren the Qom Jha, they resemble meter-tall avians with smooth skin and small heads. They have dark eyes that allow them to see in the dark, and hard talons that allow them to grip the stone of their lairs. The Qom Qae were smaller in size, and had darker skin that the Qom Jha. They have a minor control of the Force, and can use it to telepathically communicate among themselves and with other Force-sensitives. However, the Qom Qae live in the open air of the planet, while the Qom Jha inhabit the caves. The adults were quite territorial, but they allowed the young to freely mix with other nestings. This was probably a way for them to gather information about other nestings without violating territorial boundaries. They referred to Luke Skywalker as "Jedi Sky Walker."
