Legend

a race of bird-like humanoids native to the planet Omwat, the Omwati have light blue skin and feathers for hair. They have wide, blue eyes. The Omwati children are extremely bright, and are capable on astounding mental feats. Their civilization evolved with the basic premise that the Omwati were the only sentient species in the galaxy. Thus, their society was based on technological advancement that did not disrupt the natural environment in which they lived. This society was altered when Wilhuff Tarkin first discovered the planet Omwat. He left behind new forms of technology, but he hid the fact that a colony of Omwati lived on the planet Coruscant. Tarkin then kept the Omwati as his indentured laborers, using the best and brightest Omwati children for the development of super weapons. After the Battle of Endor, the New Republic eventually made contact with the Omwati, but only after they were given proof of the deaths of Tarkin and the Emperor.
