Squib

A sentient species from Skor II, Squibs were known for collecting knickknacks and for their love of trading and haggling. Adult Squibs had humanoid bodies averaging 1 m tall. They were covered in blue fur, and had rodent-like faces with large eyes. Squibs tasted objects by rubbing them over their fur.

Skor II was rich in natural resources, but the resources were not evenly distributed. Thus, the Squibs developed into nomads and traders. Over time, they developed a complex system of trade and barter. Squibs were gregarious, insatiably curious, and obsessed with haggling and deal-making. It was said that the easiest way to lure a Squib into a trap was to offer him or her a "deal" of some kind.

During the Separatist Crisis, the Squib King Ebareebaveebeedee was a vocal supporter of the Galactic Republic, famously declaring that his people were "going nowhere" and that the Jedi were "koovy". Later, after the rise of the Galactic Empire, King Ebareebaveebeedee established an agreement with the Empire to place Squibs as laborers on board Imperial spacecraft. These Squibs, who the Imperials considered slaves, would alert Squib salvage vessels with the locations of Imperial dump sites. In the salvage business, the Squibs were fierce rivals of the Ugors. The Squibs have also had various run ins over the years with the Solo family. Each time, curiously, the painting Killik Twilight was involved.
