The Drabatans were a sentient amphibious species native to the planet Pipada. Their homeworld was harvested for materials by the Galactic Empire, displacing much of the native population, including the Drabatans. Pao, a commando for the Alliance to Restore the Republic, was a Drabatan. During the Cold War, one Drabatan served as a mechanic on staff at the Resistance base on the planet D'Qar.[3]
The Drabatans primarily spoke a language called Drabatese. However, as this language was unusually loud, the Drabatans also used a second form of speech that was based off of passing air through a vocal pouch.[2]
