Elomin

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Elomin were horned humanoids from Elom who lived on the surface of the planet. They were thought by some xenoarchaeologists to be descended from a lost colony of Zabrak who settled Elom in the distant past.^[1] Features of their anatomy which distinguished them from baseline humans included neck wattles, spanchons, four stomachs, generative nodes, six-chambered hearts, nose tusks, long hairs which grew behind their ears (which they combed), and horns (which they polished). The Elomin were obsessed with personal hygiene.

The Elomin lived on the surface of their planet while another sentient species—the Elom—lived underground. The Elom used to live on the surface but were forced to move underground when water became scarce.

Since then, they remained isolated from the rest of the galaxy, with many Eloms continuing to retreat further underground.

When the Elomins re-discovered the Eloms, they tried to make the Galactic Republic believe that they were only unintelligent animals. The truth was eventually discovered and Eloms were granted the rights of any other sentient species. However, Eloms seemed not to be interested in politics, and continued to live in burrows. The Elomin rule Elom and represented the planet offworld. However, when the Galactic Empire enslaved the Elomin to work in their own lommite mines, the Eloms staged raids and rescued numerous Elomin from slavery. After their planet was liberated by the Republic, they started integrating their societies together.

Notable Elomin included Verrinnefra B’thog Indriummsegh, a signatory to the Declaration of a New Republic and a member of the New Republic Provisional Council.

Elomin strove to find order in things and worked to create order where none existed. Therefore, they were unable to cope with the unstructured attack of a perfectly executed Marg Sabl maneuver.
