Ambigiously canon
Wookieepedia strives to be as comprehensive as possible. As a consequence of this, it is Wookieepedia policy to include material from all commercially published sources. This includes some sources that are expressly not licensed and others whose canonicity is undetermined. Wookieepedia terms such material as "Ambigiously canon". A list of such sources can be found here.

On a number of occasions, information from these sources has been referenced in canonical material. The occurred most frequently in The Essential Atlas which included many star systems from these sources in its Appendix. According to Jason Fry, one of the Atlas authors, their "inclusion shouldn't be taken as a statement of canonicity for anything except the geography."

Implementation

 * Whole articles derived from these sources are marked with this template:


 * Material from such sources is included in the main body of other articles; however, it is separated out by these tags:

Notes and references
=Xi Charrian=

"Every starship maker in the galaxy knows the Xi Charrians have an exclusive contract to build droid starfighters for the Trade Federation."

- Boll Trinkatta

Xi Charrians were a hive-minded species from Charros IV who communicated through a complex variety of clicks. They followed the Xi Char religion, and were founders of the Haor Chall Engineering company.

Biology and appearance
"My term of service to Viceroy Gunray demanded that I familiarize myself with the trader's tongues used by all the hive species, including the Xi Char, the Geonosians, the Colicoids, and many others."

- TeeCee-Sixteen

The Xi Charrians were a sentient insectile species with a hive mind similar to that of other species such as the Geonosians and Colicoids. They had short bodies covered in chitin and a long teardrop-shaped head. The Xi Charrians had four pointed legs which had scissor-action feet. These limbs were strong, able to leap high, even when carrying the weight of a grown Human. When sleeping, the Xi Charrians used these scissor feet to suspend themselves from ceilings. The Xi Charrians frequently mirrored this anatomy in their technological creations: the iconic design of the droid starfighter in walk/patrol mode closely mimiced this appearance.

Language
"A Xi Charrian whose name I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce."

- Dyne

The Xi Charrians spoke a language known by the same name. Given their manufacturing capacity, it was considered a trade language and certain protocol droids were programmed with it. To Human ears, the language sounded like chitterings and stridulations, and contained various glottal stops and clicking sounds. Other Xi Charrian mannerisms included humming when content.

Religion
"The deity is in the details."

- A Xi Charrian religious adage

The Xi Charrians developed a sophisticated religious system. They believed that meticulous work functioned as prayer. Consequently, they had an aversion to flawed artisanship. Similarly, if a Xi Charrian received a physical injury, it exiled itself from the hive so that fellow Xi Charrians would not have to view its imperfections or deformities. The Xi Charrian workshops appeared more like temples than typical factories.

The Xi Charrians founded a fanatical religous order known as the Xi Char which was dedicated to high-precision manufacturing. The Xi Char formed Haor Chall Engineering, a company in which their zealots worked tirelessly to produce experimental starfighters and engine technologies. Haor Chall was one of the more unusual manufactures in the galaxy, creating huge cathedral factories, such as Workshop Xcan, for their production lines. Notable Haor Chall designs included the Hailfire-class droid tank, the C-9979 landing craft, the droid starfighter, and the Scarab-class droid starfighter. It was rumored that the Trade Federation arranfed a merger between Hoar Chall Engineering and Baktoid Armor Workshop, although this was never confirmed by Baktoid.

The Xi Char were a peaceful species. Consequently, they cared only for the manufacturing of a certain piece of technology, not for its eventual use.

History
"Do you think the Xi Char will talk to us?" "They've every reason to be accommodating. After the Battle of Naboo, the Republic refused to do any business with them, for their having supplied the Neimoidians with proscribed weapons. They've been eager to atone ever since, especially now that their signature designs are being mass-produced more cheaply by Baktoid Armor and other Confederacy suppliers."

- Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Xi Charrians were native to the planet Charros IV, located in the Charros system of the Taldot sector, a region of space in the Mid Rim, and about three hyperspace jumps from the Inner Rim Territories.

The Trade Federation took advantage of Xi Char gustatory predilections when they negotiated weapons building contracts from them, offering the insectoid race choice trade in the rare meats they consider delicacies. It was Haor Chall Engineering that created Vulture Droid, basing its "walking-mode" design upon that of the Xi Charrians' own bodies.

Two decades prior to the Clone Wars, Raith Sienar infiltrated the Xi Char, mastering ultraprecision engineering techniques he would later incorporate into his own designs.

The Jedi Council became aware of a Sith Lord named Sidious coordinating the Clone Wars. One avenue in their attempts to track down his identity led them to the mechno-chair of Trade Federation viceroy Nute Gunray. Discovering Gunray had been in contact with Sidious through a hyperwave receiver built in to the chair, the Jedi Order tried to trace the chair's origins. The chair had been engraved by a Xi Charrian, who had signed his name with his personal sigil.

During the Clone Wars, a Republic taskforce of clone troopers led by Jedi Knights invaded Charros IV. They successfully destroyed the Haor Chall factories, effectively crippling the company. The company's remaining assets were absorbed by Sienar Fleet Systems, including Haor Chall's patent on the Haor Chall Ring Drive Jell.

Xi Charrians in the galaxy
t'laalak-s'lalak-t'th'ak crafted the mechno-chair used by the Neimodian Nute Gunray. The mercenary Vana Sage once contacted a rogue Xi Char engineer who helped her design a unique starfighter. Dubbed the Guardian Mantis, the stealth fighter was exceedingly fast.
