Caridan
native to Carida, this race of squat, barrel-chested humanoids had spindly arms and legs,and were characterized by their wing-like, bushy eyebrows. They had numerous dealings with the Old Republic, especially during the formation of the original military Academies that were later restructured as Imperial Academies. When Emperor Palpatine rose to power, the Caridans were initially happy with the change in government, viewing the Empire as a large customer for their planet's environment. Palaptine's xenophobic leadership didn't sit well with the Caridans, although the Empire was allowed to remain on Carida indefinitely. After the destruction of the planet Carida, only a handful of Caridans remained at large in the galaxy, mainly merchants and a few supporters of the New Republic.
