Streaked Velker
similar in many respects to the true velkers of Bespin, the streaked velker was nevertheless much smaller than its cousin. Measuring just twenty meters across its wings, streaked velkers were named for the striated pattern of colors which adorned their hides. Scientists believed that the stripes and patterns were a rudimentary form of camouflage, meant to hide the streaked velker among the clouds of the gas giant planets they inhabited. Unlike the velkers of Bespin, streaked velkers were solidatry predators who jealously guarded their hunting territories.
