- "I suspect our young friend was captured by Argoban raiders. Aloxians bring a high price as child soldiers, unfortunately."
- ―Farks
The Argoban were a group[1] from[2] the Argoba system[3] known for being raiders during the High Republic Era. In particular, they were known for kidnapping Aloxian children from Zav Alox to be enslaved as child soldiers. The Argoban would take away the vonduun crab skulls worn by the children in order to increase their aggression and natural killing instincts. When an Aloxian infant wound up at Takodana Castle, Maz Kanata's associate Farks speculated that the child had been taken by Argoban raiders for that purpose.[1]

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for Argoban in relation to Argoba system.
