Omwati were a sentient species whose members had a crown of feathers atop their heads, spindly fingers,[1] and beaks which clacked during speech.[2] Shi Shu, the second of the pirate captain Eleodie Maracavanya, was an Omwati.[1]

The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion (post by jasonfry) on the Jedi Council Forums' Literature board (December 11, 2007): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (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. This article treats the Omwat system as the location of one such homeworld with regard to the Omwati species.
