- "We don't serve your type either."
"What type are you referring to?"
"Conduit worms."
"I beg your pardon, I am a Zilkin!" - ―Borkus ejects Meebur Gascon from his diner
Zilkins were a small, green-skinned sentient species.
Biology[]
They were diminutive in size and had stalk eyes. They were green with darker spots and had blue eyes. The hands and feet of a Zilkin were large in proportion to their arms and legs. They had three bulbous fingers and an opposable thumb on their hands, and three toes on their feet.
Zilkins had large bulbs of skin underneath their chin that puffed out slightly when they talked.
History[]
Meebur Gascon
At around 20 BBY, the commanding officer of D-Squad, Meebur Gascon, was a member of this species. He was a strategic colonel and had served the Galactic Republic since the First Battle of Geonosis.
Later in the war, Gascon was assigned a squad of droids and was part of a secret mission to steal an Encryption module from the Separatists.
This eventually led to him encountering a field of comets, getting stranded on the strange world of Abafar, discovering and returning the memory of a Clone Gregor, and being part of the destruction of a hijacked Venator-class Star Destroyer full of Rhydonium over Carida.
Behind the scenes[]
The Zilkins first appeared in Secret Weapons, the tenth episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' fifth season. They were based on a drawing of an early version of Jar Jar Binks, by Terryl Whitlatch.
