Kon'me
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Kon'me were a noisome reptilian species native to Bal'demnic. Upper-class Kon'me lived in glistening bubble-like structures in the oceanside cliffs, while others lived in simple thatch beachside dwellings.
After CIS scouts discovered cortosis ore on Bal'demnic, the Kon'me were forced to allow the Commerce Guild to mine for it. The beachfront Kon'me were furious, and started many fights. This led to the Battle of Bal'demnic.
For planetary defense, they utilized powerful weapons sold to them by war profiteers. Aided by the Jedi, they successfully repelled Confederate forces from mining cortosis ore on their planet. Afterward, however, they forced the Jedi and Republic forces to leave their planet.

[edit] Behind the scenes
The name and brief story of the Kon'me were established by Arthur Papadam for Bal'demnic's entry in the Databank, as part of the What's The Story? feature of Star Wars Hyperspace.
The Kon'me species was named after "The Mekon", the main villain in the British Dan Dare comic strip that began in the 1950s.
