[edit] Biology

The atmosphere on Skako was extremely dense, so Skakoans evolved to survive under great pressures. This meant that Skakoans would decompress and die in low pressure environments. Thus, the few Skakoans that left Skako wore special protective suits. Very few non-Skakoans ever saw a Skakoan without the suit on, though they were believed to look somewhat like Humans, though with beady eyes, nasal slits, no lips, and sickly colored skin.

[edit] History

The Skakoans were relatively unknown in the galaxy, except for their control of the Techno Union. They spoke Skakoverbal, and had a developed religion. They were also known to be proficient with micro-electronics that were considered quite advanced.

After the Clone Wars, their role in the Confederacy of Independent Systems resulted in them being persecuted by the Human-centric Galactic Empire. Most retreated to their homeworld, which remained in isolation even after the Battle of Endor. This had led many to believe that the Skakoan species had become xenophobic after their experience at the hands of the Empire.

Wat Tambor, Foreman of the Techno Union, was a Skakoan.
