Ru

The Ru were a small, furry, and primitive sentient species indigenous to the Phorose. Despite the fact that the locals considered them rodents, scientists believed that the Ru were, in fact, sentient beings, due to the fact that they worship in temples made by themselves.

Around 20 BBY, during the Battle of Phorose, Padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee accidentally found a group of Ru that have been living in a temple under the Phorosian capital. Tragically, their temple was destroyed by a patrol of battle droids sent to eliminate the 2 Jedi and, while the survivors were being evacuated via a LAAT, the gunship was attacked by 2 vulture droids, killing the Ru onboard, except for 2 survivors.
