The Graadorians were a sentient species who developed an agrarian society on their homeworld, Graador. Located in the Mid Rim, the Graadorians' planet came to share its name with the Graador sector. The Graadorians drew scant attention from the Galactic Empire, the central authority in the galaxy during the Imperial Period, and for that reason, their homeworld was identified as a possible sanctuary for the Rebel Alliance Fleet; however, the presence of sentient, mutant mynocks and space slugs dissuaded the Rebel operatives who investigated the planet.
