The Vendarans were a sentient species of near-Humans^[1]—a classification for species very similar to base-line Humans, but which had evolved unique adaptations to their environment^[2]—that inhabited the planet Vendara. The Vendarans were the descendants of an ancient colonization attempt. The planet,^[1] which was located in the northeastern portion of the Outer Rim Territories and part of the Kwymar sector,^[3] included many rainforests and swamps. Therein dwelt the skeeg, a predatory mollusk known for its use in the manufacture of natural perfumes. The Vendaran culture contained legends of a time when giant sea-dwelling skeegs were hunted for meat and the creation of poisons; however, by the time of the New Republic, the modern skeeg was much smaller. The Vendarans had contact with the wider galaxy, including poachers that traveled to Vendara to capture skeegs.^[1] When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the portion of the galaxy in which the Kwymar sector was located in 25 ABY, Vendara was not along the invasion route. By 130 ABY, that region fell within the confines of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire.^[3]
