Nelvaanian/Legends

The Nelvaanians were a race of blue-furred bear-like humanoids. They were native to Nelvaan, which was the location of a Separatist base during the Clone Wars. This base kept the planet in an eternal winter. All of the Nelvaanian warriors were captured by the Separatists and were physically and mentally altered into cyborgs for the war. Anakin Skywalker, who was referred to by the race as Holt Kezed (Ghost Hand in their language), freed them and destroyed the Separatist base. The tribe was governed by one shaman who claimed spiritual rites within a clan.

Behind the Scenes
