The Kashoonara were a sentient species native to Kashoon. The savage humanoids were conquered by the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War; however, with support from the Alliance to Restore the Republic, they were able to drive the Empire from their homeworld after a number of successful guerrilla assaults. Based on their ancient folklore, the Kashoonara considered the humbaba species to be sacred and defended the creatures against any offworlder depredation.
