Twi'lek

Twi'leks were a sentient species native to the planet Ryloth. They were a tall and thin species, with multiple different skin pigments including tan, blue, orange, and green. A defining characteristic of Twi'leks was the prehensile tenticles that grew from their skulls. Female Twi'leks were seen as beautiful beings, often leading to their subjugation into a life of slavery at the hands of the galaxy's wealthy and powerful. Other Twi'leks, however, often found themselves in positions of power; Bib Fortuna served as the major-domo to Jabba the Hutt,, Aayla Secura was a member of the Jedi Order, and Orn Free Ta was the Senator from Ryloth during the Clone Wars.

During the Clone Wars, Ryloth was occupied by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, A Twi'lek resistance movement arose to combat the Separatists, led by Cham Syndulla and assisted by the Galactic Republic.
