Sriluur

Sriluur was a desert planet^[3] located in the Hutt Space region of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories^[1] that was the homeworld of the Weequays, a species whose tough, leathery skin helped them endure its harsh conditions,^[3] and the Sriluurian butterfly.^[4]

Sriluur was conquered by the Hutt Cartel, which was controlled by the Hutts from the neighboring world of Nal Hutta, who turned the Weequays into slaves or vassals.^[1] The pirate Hondo Ohnaka, leader of the Ohnaka Gang, was a male Weequay from this world.^[5]
