[edit] Physiology

They had tough skin ranging in coloration from olive to brown, and a small frame of spiny horns around their faces similar to a Nikto. Though warm blooded, they laid reptilian eggs, with an egg clutch typically producing two or three Vodran young. They were native to the planet Vodran on the fringes of the Si'klaata Cluster.

[edit] History

Before the founding of the Galactic Republic, the Vodrans were approached by Dojundo the Hutt, an emissary from the Hutt Empire, who wanted to recruit the Vodrans for the Hutts' conflict with the legendary Xim the Despot. The Vodrans, believing the Hutts to be evil deities, agreed to serve them. Their presence, along with those of the Weequay, Klatooinians and Nikto, was instrumental in the defeat of Xim's army of war droids at the Third Battle of Vontor.

After the victory at Vontor, the Hutts had the Vodran representative, Kl'ieutu Mutela, along with the representatives of the Klatooinans and Nikto, sign their people into "eternal" servitude—an obligation the Vodran fulfilled faithfully.

In time, Vodrans adopted Hutt culture as their own. Their society was organized into miniature kajidics, and their family clans answered directly to the Hutt Clan of Ancients. Their dealings with the rest of the galaxy always went through their Hutt masters.
