Equani

'Equani are a sentient humanoid species native to Equanus in the Nharl sector. They are tall bipeds who are covered in fur. All Equani possess empathic abilities.

Six months prior to the onset of the Clone Wars, Galactic Republic scientists stationed on Equanus's moon were testing a new superweapon (possibly the Death Star's primary weapon). They miscalculated and hit Equanus's sun. The result was a ten light-metre-long solar flare that literally cooked the planet. The only Equani to survive were the few hundred who were off-world at the time. As there are not enough Equani left to populate a new world, the species will eventually die out.

A notable Equani was Klo Merit. He was minder to the medical facility on Drongar during the Clone Wars, and a double-agent for the Confederacy and Black Sun.
