HOMEWORLD:Sedri was a water planet in the Sedri system. It was the homeworld of the Sedrians and the Golden Sun. The planet used living coral as a power source. After the Battle for Golden Sun, the planet joined the New Republic, for which SedriMotors created Amphibions.
In 3 ABY, the Rebel Alliance was represented by Mors Odrion, a diplomat. He was unable to prevent a short civil war, with the Rebel-aligned High Priest being challenged by Karak, who believed the Golden Sun should belong to all Sedrians. At the same time, trade opened up with the wider galaxy. Shortly thereafter, several Sedrian settlements were threatened by the Kerestian mercenary Limna Yith as she attempted to elude the pursuit of competing agents of Black Sun, including Ket Maliss. She was eventually captured here by others and delivered to Mal Biron on Sriluur.
Native species included the Gweld, Gweld were saltwater amphibians from Sedri. Sedrians made spears from their jaws.
BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:The Sedrians were aquatic mammals about three meters long, covered in sleek yellow, brown, or gray fur. They had two arms with web-fingered hands, a pair of stabilizing fins at their hips, and legs which were joined together into a pair of tail flukes. The whiskers on their head could detect movement or changing electric fields underwater. Unlike most aquatic mammals, Sedrians had both gills and lungs.
CULTURE AND HISTORY:Sedrian society was based on the worship of the Golden Sun, a communal Force-sensitive intelligence living in a coral reef. Golden Sun was kept in a dome in the Sedrian capital city of Fitsay, where it provided a source of energy for the Sedrians' early industrial technology. All Sedrian technology was based on energy from the Golden Sun—even their medical science was limited to leaving the sick or injured in the Golden Sun's cavern so the Golden Sun could use Force Healing on them. The High Priest of the Golden Sun was the ruler of Sedri. Ironically, though the Sedrians worshiped Golden Sun, they did not realize that it was an intelligent, living being.
Few Sedrians were found away from Sedri, primarily because separation from the Golden Sun made them agitated, anxious, and sometimes violent. Those who were found offworld were usually slaves. Some of these Sedrians worked as underwater researchers or explorers. Among the exceptions were the Shahlik family, who maintained the Imperial aquaria on Kailor V. This family, however, had lived away from Sedri for several generations.
After a Rebel Alliance group helped the Sedrians drive an Imperial garrison away from Sedri, the Sedrians became supporters of the Alliance, and later the New Republic. A Sedrian sat on the New Republic Provisional Council following the Battle of Endor. SedriMotors manufactured the Amphibion aquatic assault vessels used by the New Republic during the Battle of Mon Calamari in 10 ABY.
