- "Many Bothans died to bring us this information."
- ―Mon Mothma, before the Battle of Endor
Bothans were the species credited with stealing information concerning the Death Star II, despite sustaining heavy casualties, thereby enabling the Rebel Alliance to plan an attack on the unfinished space station.[1] The Bothans also provided the Rebel Alliance with other useful information, such as the door code for the shield generator bunker on the forest moon of Endor.[2]
Bothans were known to communicate with each other in a series of growls.[3]
