Legend

according to New Republic databanks, the Jostrans were the dominant race found on the planet Munlali Mafir. The average Jostran resembled a slow-moving centipede about a meter and a half in length. By the time Luke Skywalker arrived at Munlali Mafir, during his search for the planet Zonama Sekot some twenty-eight years after the Battle of Endor, the Jostrans had disappeared. Jacen Solo and Soron Hegerty discovered that the Jostrans had been combined with the Krizlaws by the appearance of Zonama Sekot, resulting in a predatory species that looked outwardly like a Krizlaw. However, the symbiotic relationship which was created allowed the Jostran individual to fuse itself to the Krizlaw spinal column and nervous system. In this way, the Jostran mind controlled the Krizlaw body. This new race of vicious beings quickly eliminated the Jostran people as well as the non-symbiont Krizlaws, becoming the sole species of Munlali Mafir. Those Jostrans who survived remained distinct individuals in their symbiont bodies, and were still able to produce a form of offspring. This Jostran infant was then force-fed into a new body, where it fused itself to the victim's spinal cord and nervous system, becoming a new entity.
