- "The jungle barbarians have not been around for more than three hundred years. Their language was long ago absorbed by the mountain Mooloolian tribes—"
- ―C-3PO
A sentient species of jungle barbarians inhabited Janguine,[2] a planet located in the Halthor sector of the Outer Rim Territories.[3] They shared the planet with the Mooloolian tribes, which occupied the mountainous regions of the planet.[1] The jungle barbarians eventually vanished, and their language was absorbed by the Mooloolian tribes[4] by 275 BBY.[5] In 25 ABY,[6] the protocol droid C-3PO speculated that the language of the jungle barbarians was related to that used by a newly encountered species, the Yuuzhan Vong;[1] however, the speculation later proved groundless as the Yuuzhan Vong's origins were extra-galactic.[7]
Behind the scenes[]
R. A. Salvatore created the jungle barbarians for his novel The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime, published by Del Rey in 1999.[1] The 2008 reference work The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia later specified that the barbarians were a distinct species.[4]
