Weequay

"They are devious and deceitful and most importantly, stupid."

- Dooku, on Weequay pirates

Weequays were a sentient species native to the desert world of Sriluur. Their tough, leathery skin helped them endure the harsh conditions of their homeworld, while also providing natural resistance to blaster fire, making them ideal bodyguards and bounty hunters. As they evolved under merciless conditions, Weequays vastly served the Hutt Clan as mercenaries, bodyguards, and slaves as the Hutts controlled their homeworld. Some were able to escape those hardships and sought out the Alliance to Restore the Republic and use their skill to bring some good to the galaxy. The pirate Hondo Ohnaka was a Weequay.
