[edit] History

Through Sith alchemy the Sith were able to create Korriban zombies as guardians of the Valley of the Dark Lords.

The Zelosian people believed that zombies existed on their planet. That particular phenomenon was later attributed to parasitic worms infesting corpses and causing zombie-like movement.

Zombies were known to be used by the energy vampire Rajine, who utilized their services against trespassers and as palace help. Although it is unknown whether this effect would be had upon all zombies, Rajine's minions were turned against her using a Jedi holocron.

The Rakghoul Plague was able to turn beings into mindless creatures similar to zombies.

Around 1 BBY an Imperial biological weapons project had been tasked with engineering a virus, under the codename of Blackwing. The virus seemed to turn almost any being, living or dead, who came in contact with in to a mindless fleshcraving undead creature. These creatures seemed only to posess feral primitive instincts after turned, but where able to communicate and learn from each other through, for sentient beings, unintelligible screeching. They were also capable of operating machinery and handling weapons, such as blasters, and even able to pilot ships, such as X-Wings and TIE Fighters.

Warning: The following paragraph(s) contain(s) information that ONLY appears in a Star Wars Tales #1–#20 story that has not been referenced elsewhere; therefore, its level of canonicity is ambiguous.

Han Solo and Chewbacca once visited an uncharted planet which was haunted by dead, living skeletal figures. These zombies were once the 1,000 crew members of a Great Interplanetary Ark that had crashed on the planet some time before. The souls would haunt the villagers every night, because they never made the land. However, Solo laid down two lines of tandgor gems to light a runway for the ghostly form of the Great Interplanetary Ark to land, finally resting the souls.[1]
