The Chestrashi were a sentient species[1] originating from[3] Wild Space's Chestrashus system.[2] They were ruthless and made extensive use of biological warfare. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the company Charendohl Exports, Limited manufactured the Chestrashi void spear, a weapon characteristic of the species. The void spear, which was available in extremely limited quantities, was a metal throwing spear with a tip containing thousands of microorganisms. Upon striking the target, the weapon's payload would attack their bone and central nervous systems.[1] At some point between 0 ABY and 3 ABY,[4] the fiftieth-anniversary edition of Galladinium's Galactic Datalog of Fantastic Technology offered the datalog's customers an exclusive opportunity to purchase Chestrashi void spears.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Chestrashi were introduced in Galladinium's Fantastic Technology, a 1995 sourcebook authored by Rick D. Stuart for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[1]

(backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. This article treats the Chestrashus system as the location of one such homeworld with regard to the Chestrashi species.
