Legend

an alien race native to the planet Sesid, the Draedans are amphibious humanoids with scaled skin, webbed fingers, and a finned tail. Their toes are not webbed, Draedans can live out of the water, but must keep their skin moist of suffer greatly from dehydration. They have gills in their necks for breathing in the water, but also possess lungs for use out of the water. They live in the oceanic forests of lataren trees, and are expressive, emotional creatures capable of wild celebrations and cunning attacks. Their heritage is littered with territorial conflicts, which continued even after their discovery by the Old Republic. This continued during the reign of Emperor Palpatine, with some Draedan nations supporting the Imperial presence and others offering assistance to the Alliance.
