Sooman

Soomans were were red insectoids indigenous to Sooma in the Outer Rim. They were ruled over by King Zornog. When General Sludd tried to usurp the throne of nearby Alzar, he tricked Alzarian heir Prince Plooz into running away to Sooma on a freighter. Plooz was rescued by C-3PO and R2-D2. Ten months after the Battle of Endor, many Soomans were killed in the Stenax Massacres, when the Stenax living on Sooma destroyed the local Imperial outpost and the battle resulted in many civilian casualties.
