Kazak

The Kazak are an intriguing but relatively obscure species within the Star Wars universe. They were primarily detailed in the role-playing game source material produced by West End Games, which has since been incorporated into the wider Legends canon (previously known as the Expanded Universe). The Kazak are native to the planet Kaz, a lush jungle world characterized by its dense vegetation and diverse wildlife. These diminutive, insectoid beings are known for their complex social hierarchy and exceptional agility, which allows them to navigate their dense, arboreal environment with ease.

In terms of lore, the Kazak society is highly communal and operates through a strict caste system led by a ruling queen. Individual Kazak are born into specific roles such as warriors, workers, or scouts, each with distinct biological and behavioral traits suited to their functions. While they have not made significant appearances in major Star Wars media, the Kazak provide an excellent example of the rich and varied tapestry of species that populate the galaxy. They serve as a reminder of the intricate world-building that goes into creating the expansive Star Wars universe, much of which remains ripe for exploration by new stories and adaptations.
