Chylene

Chylene is out in the galactic "boondocks", and they don't have anything much to contribute to galactic trade, so it's rare that anyone comes to visit. The winged Chyleni people live in trees and are hatched from eggs like birds or lizards, and it's an extremely taboo subject (often resulting in fisticuffs and/or duels of honor) to question which the sentient race actually came from. The Empire used to visit Chylene for the sole purpose of using the winged people as target practice, as one of the people's favorite things is aerial combat... using blasters and more or less mimicking dogfights very much like starfighters do. The most skilled Chyleni warriors can admit to taking on TIE fighters and winning through careful shots into the cockpit in flight.

A society overly fond of rituals and trials by combat, Chyleni are extremely rare amongst galactic gatherings. They had a backbench senator in the Imperial Senate (and one during the days of the Old Republic), and their senator these days is someone who isn't very fond of the more open society of the New Republic, despite the release from the Empire. The typical Chyleni has a pair of leathery wings, pointed ears, a tail, and a physique that is not quite human, hunched over slightly, their skin varying shades of dark and cool colors.

Aside from having rituals for every single aspect of their lives, Chyleni are known as being dancers who use flight as part of the art, and they also use colored sands to create further art as the results of their movements. These colored sands are special, gathered from a few select islands on the planet and are considered sacred. It is death for any Chyleni to use the sands without permission of the Grand Masters, and it's considered vulgar to use any old sand in performance. Practice, if ritually announced as such, can use regular sand, but the sacred and blessed sands can only be used with permission. Given how the High Council regards the rest of the galaxy, it's not very likely that such permission will be given to any Chyleni not on Chylene.
