Krish (species)

The Krish were a sentient species. While searching for information concerning Imperial attempts to sure up the Empire's relations with criminals following the Battle of Endor, the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca were ambushed by a trio of Krish marauder-ships in the Mid Rim. Upon engaging the three Krish vessels, the smugglers discovered that the weapons of their YT-1300 light freighter, the Millennium Falcon, had stopped working after Chewbacca had been attempting to fix an issue with the Hyperdrive. This resulted in the Falcon taking some serious damage, and the smugglers were only just able to escape from the marauder-ships.

Behind the scenes
The Krish were first created for First Contact, a Star Wars Legends short story written by Timothy Zahn and published in Star Wars Adventure Journal 1 in 1994. The species were confirmed to be canon by a brief mention in the novel Aftermath, which was written by Chuck Wendig and released in 2015.
