Kadrillians were sentient terrapins who colonized Kadril in 6 BBY. They were the only inhabitants of Kadril to survive the Stenax Massacres.
Physiology
Kadrillians were smaller than humans and had a greenish skin. Presumably, they evolved from turtle-like creatures. Kadrillians were able to use I.Q. Whirls to read the intelligence of other Kadrillians.
Society
It was unknown where the Kadrillians evolved, but in the decade before the Battle of Yavin they colonized the world of Kadril. On this world, the group divided into two groups. The Kadrillians were peaceful and dedicated themselves to the manufacturing of all kinds of crystals used for medicine and communication. The Kadrillians sought safety from their cities and were quite shy. Another group, the Nociv, felt that the Kadrillians deviated too much from their original intestine and were more primitive in nature. However, both groups were peaceful.
In 1 ABY, Kadril was visited by the Heroes of Yavin as well as by Darth Vader. Darth Vader tried to make a filter for a chemical weapon called Pacifog with the Kunda stones on Kadril. Eventually, the heroes prevented this by seeking help from the Nociv.
In 5 ABY, Kadril was destroyed during the Stenax Massacres. However, the Kadrillians survived the bombing of their world.
