Vagaari

"We are the Vagaari. We take what we want."

- The Miskara

The Vagaari were a humanoid species from the Unknown Regions. They were a race of nomadic conquerors and slavers that ruled a considerable area in the Unknown Regions. They were led by the Miskara, who was probably a chieftain. Their clothing usually included robes of progressively fancy design and large masks intended to compensate for their height.

They were short with stubby legs, large hands, large violet eyes, flat ears rising high on the skull, tan skin and two sets of teeth. They also carried strange unique creatures called wolvkils and schostri, which they used as weapons.

They were enemies of the Chiss Ascendancy, yet official Chiss policy never offically labelled them as so. Vagaari began moving through Chiss space around 37 BBY. The Vagaari disguised themselves as peaceful Geroons in an attempt to destroy the Redoubt, which housed the survivors of the Galactic Republic's expeditionary fleet, the Outbound Flight project. After their attempt failed, a State of War officially existed between the Ascendancy and the Vagaari.

Notable Vagaari include Bearsh and Estosh.

Behind the scenes
The name "Vagaari" may be a play on the word "vagary", meaning an "'unpredicted change" (aptly describing the duplicitous species, whose members disguised themselves as the Geroon). The word comes from the Latin vagari.
