Moappa

"And if a few of us should burn away...more will take their place."

- The Moappa

The Moappa were one of the intelligent species living in the oceans of Mon Calamari. Telepathic, they formed a group consciousness. There were millions of these little glowing creatures in the worldwide ocean of Mon Calamari, and each one was nearly much mindless by itself. Although they looked harmless at first sight, when they felt threatened they relied on each other's strength and combined into large groups, forming a gigantic super genius to defend themselves. If one Moappa died, he would be replaced by more.

Jedi Master Kit Fisto had to deal with a group of Moappa during the first months of the Clone Wars, when they aided the Quarren Isolation League during the Battle of Mon Calamari. Angry at that arrogance of the Mon Calamari in claiming the world as their own, they aided the Quarren even after Fisto captured their leadership. After he learned of them, he advised the Calamari to find a diplomatic, as opposed to military, solution.
