The Xi Charrians,[1] also known simply as the Charrians, were the sentient insectoid.[2] They were behind the Haor Chall Engineering Corporation company, which notably designed the Sheathipede-class transport shuttle, the Sheathipede-class Type B shuttle,[2] and the Vulture-class starfighters, which they built in their cathedral factories[1] on the planet[4] Charros IV.[5] They notably believed in short quick answers to their problems, and this carried over into their starfighter designs.[3]
