Koorivar

The Koorivar were a sentient species of near-humans distinguished by their reptilian skin and large cranial horn that spiraled upwards from the center of their skull.

Biology and appearanceEdit

A tall near-human species, the Koorivar craniums were studded with several small twisting horns, all of which surrounded a central spiraling one. In addition to their cranial horn, the Koorivar were marked by banded ridges that studded their brows and nose.

HistoryEdit

Native to a lost world, the Koorivar were without a homeworld until sometime in galactic history when they settled on the planet they named Kooriva. During the Clone Wars, when Kooriva Senator Passel Argente led his world to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems, many Koorivar remained loyal to the Galactic Republic and relocated to Antar 4 where they joined local resistance movements against the Separatists.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

The Koorivar were initially referred to as "Koorivians" in early sources based on Attack of the Clones. The novel Tarkin officially recognized Koorivar as the correct name.
