Merumeru was a male Wookiee from the planet of Kashyyyk. In the last days of the Clone Wars, Merumeru led a group of warriors into battle against the Separatist Alliance on his homeworld. He and his warriors fought on the beaches beneath the city of Kachirho against the Separatist Droid Army and alongside clone troopers of the Galactic Republic. Shortly after the battle, the Republic forces turned on the Wookiees during Order 66.
