Xi Charrians were a hive-minded species from Charros IV who communicated through a complex variety of clicks. They followed the Xi Char religion, and were founders of the Haor Chall Engineering company.

Xi Charrians looked like Vulture Droid starfighters in patrol mode. Vulture Droids were designed by the Xi Charrians for the Trade Federation.

[edit] Characteristics

Their short bodies were covered in chitinous plates, and were quadrupedal, with pointed, "scissor-action" feet. Xi Charrians' heads were teardrop-shaped and had red eye-slits. The species were carnivorous and craved the taste of certain rare meats.

[edit] History

The Trade Federation took advantage of Xi Charr gustatory predilections when they negotiated weapons building contracts from them, offering the insectoid race choice trade in the rare meats they consider delicacies. It was Haor Chall Engineering that created Vulture Droid, basing its "walking-mode" design upon that of the Xi Charrians' own bodies.
