Hynestian

Hynestians were the residents of^[2] the Colonies^[3] planet^[2] Hynestia Prime.^[4] In ancient times, Hynestians were known throughout the galaxy as great travelers and sometimes conquerors. By the time of the Galactic Empire, however, they were mostly known for farming a fur-like lichen called gherlian fur.

Hynestians living on their homeworld during the Imperial Era were ruled by the Empire-aligned Hynestian royal family, which possessed a private fleet alongside a security force to govern the populace. However, the Hynestian military was once evaded by smuggler Lando Calrissian, who assisted a rebel royal family member, Princess Rinetta Gan, in returning a sacred artifact of the planet Livno III.^[2]

A score of^[5] Hynestian Star Cruisers^[6] participated at the Battle of Exegol as part of a vast Citizens' Fleet—an armada of volunteer civilians gathered by Lando Calrissian from throughout the galaxy—to bring down the returning Sith threat raised by the resurrected Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious.^[5]
