The orobird was a type of egg-laying bird. Their eggshells and egg yolks could be eaten by humans and the bitterness of the former balanced the sweetness gooeyness of the later. In the first year of the Empire's reign after its formation[1] in 19 BBY,[2] human Senator Mon Mothma ate orobird eggshells while at a droid-operated diner on the 4643rd level of the planet Coruscant during a meal with fellow Senator Lud Marroi.[1]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, orobirds were mentioned when their eggshells appeared in the 2025 novel Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear, which was written by Alexander Freed as the first instalment of the Star Wars: Reign of the Empire trilogy.[1] The birds originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where they first appeared in BioWare's 2011 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game, Star Wars: The Old Republic.[3]
