Aleena

"Rather impatient creatures, aren't they?"

- C-3PO

The Aleena were a short sentient species from the planet of Aleen. The Aleen were a part of the Galactic Republic, and their homeworld was home to a Republic relay station. Their government consisted of a king, and during the Clone Wars they were ruled by an individual named Manchucho.

Behind the scenes
The Aleena were first developed for the 1999 film Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, directed by George Lucas. Aleena was the name given to the species that Ratts Tyerell, a character from Menace, belonged too. Detailed conceptual art was designed by artist Terryl Whitlatch. The art was used to create a maquette for the character, and later, the digital model that would be used in the film. Several other Aleena appeared in the film, and the species reappeared in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. They also appeared in several episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and in numerous Star Wars Legends publications.
