Aleena/Legends

The Aleena were a species of small, sentient aliens from Aleen. They possessed exceptional reflexes as well as a fast metabolism allowing them to convert food into energy very rapidly in order to escape predators on their harsh home planet. Due to their small stature, Aleena were sometimes used as scouts for different militaries, including that of the Wookiees.

A professional podracer pilot named Ratts Tyerell was an Aleena, as was Tsui Choi, a Jedi Master. Another Aleena Jedi was Kazdan Paratus, who managed to survive Order 66 and went into hiding on the toxic environmental planet Raxus Prime. Mab Kador, also of this species, was a successful podracer.

It is also apparent that the Aleena were stereotypically galactic travelers, tourists in every sense. The appearance of family units walking through many an intergalactic metropolis supports this, while it is thought that Ebenn Q3 Baobab's Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide was geared towards the Aleena for this predilection.

The Aleena love of sports and particularly, adventure and thrill sports, drew many into the galactic community. Most who entered professional classes were experts or diplomats. They traveled to feed their love of adventure and new experiences. Aleena were social and tended to thrive best in with close-knit teams if not with their own kind. They developed strong loyalties to friends and will protect those they care about fiercely.
