Stellan (species)

Stellans were a species of peaceful beings, though there were the occasional few children who were born overly aggressive. Such children would be launched into space to be brought up by whomever found them. Jeigh Esse was one such child, who was raised by Rodians.

Behind the scenes
The Stellans were created by Chris Cowdrill, a Star Wars fan, for the backstory of their Jeigh Esse entry in the Design An Alien contest held in the Star Wars Galaxy Magazines and as such, exactly how canon the species is remains unclear.
