Plif

Plif was a Hoojib, native to the forests of the planet, Arbra. Like all Hoojibs, Plif had the ability to telepathically communicate with other sentient races. He also possessed the ability to partially perceive the thought processes of lower-order non-sapient species, such as Sliviliths. Communication with such creatures was practically impossible however, and the only mental impressions Plif could perceive from one were in the forms of vague, emotional images.

Possessing a sharp mental acuity, Plif was the spokesmind for the entire Hoojib population of Arbla, and was commonly regarded as the species’ unofficial leader.

In 3 ABY, Plif discovered a Rebel Alliance survey team setting up camp in the planet’s woodland areas. Being power feeders, the other Hoojibs and he began siphoning energy away from the Rebels’ equipment and weaponry. This brought Plif to the attention of the expedition leader, Leia Organa. Leia established a communication with Plif who explained to her that the Hoojibs were frightened to return to their regular power-feeding grounds due to the fact that a giant Slivilith now occupied them. Leia agreed to help Plif route out the Slivilith so that the Hoojibs could once again feed from the geothermal power crystals that existed inside of the caves. After defeating the Slivilith, Plif agreed to share the forests of Arbra with the Rebel Alliance. Soon after, Leia began preparations for the establishment of a new, permanent Rebel base.
