"There's one tale I think will intrigue you, one that dates back to the Clone Wars, back when my own people joined the ranks of Count Dooku's Separatists…"
―Vaclav[3]

The Hassarians were a species of the galaxy with willowy physiques, lilac hair, and long snouts. As of the High Republic Era, the species had a centuries-long rivalry with the Skembo.[1] During the later period of the Republic Era, the Hassarians joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[3]

Hassarians in the galaxy

"I was promised protection when I was brought here. There are Hassarians in the medcenter. I have seen them with my own eyes."
―Ceeril[1]

During the High Republic Era, two Hassarians, injured in the Wazta emergence, were brought to the medcenter of the Starlight Beacon for treatment, with one suspended in a bacta tank and the other lying in a bone stabilizer when Administrator Velko Jahen arrived on the space station. The Skembo Ceeril, the Ambassador of Rion, was alarmed by the Hassarians' presence and demanded protection from them, staging an assassination attempt against himself with the use of Hassarian hair and DNA to try and get them removed. However, Jahen and KC-78 uncovered the truth, leading Ceeril to be placed in detention.[1]
