The Alessians were a race of diminutive reptiloids native to the Mid Rim moon of Alessia. They bore a strong resemblance to the Turazza.
Biology and appearance[]
The Alessians were 75-centimeter-tall mottled-red-skinned reptiloids with green eyes and three-fingered hands. Their snout-like beaks had three upper incisors.
Society and culture[]
Alessians could work for any affiliation and occupation, and could speak in their own native language. They could speak Basic. They also shared their name with the Alessian terror moth, a type of non-sentient insect from their homeworld. They were one of the 5 million sentient species (alien races) known to the Empire in the galaxy.
History[]
The Alessians were the sentient descendants of a non-sentient reptilian species. They evolved on Alessia, a temperate moon of the planet Tarsa, located in the Tarsa system within the D'Aelgoth sector of the Mid Rim. Their homeworld was first discovered sometime between 3000 BBY and 1000 BBY, during the Blazing of Hydian to Ruusan. It fell into the area of space known as the Western Reaches. They shared their home sector with the Argullians, the Bilars, and the Ogemites. It became a part of Republic Space during the Clone Wars. In 25 ABY, their homeworld's population was up to 10 million. Their homeworld became a part of the Darth Krayt's Sith Empire in 137 ABY.
