"She looks like a Quaraxian"
"I've never heard of that species.
"
"They're virtually extinct. They age very slowly and possess not insignificant intellectual prowess."

Behind the scenes

A Quaraxian first appeared, albeit unidentified, through the appearance of Phaedra in the sixth issue of the 2022 comic miniseries Star Wars: Han Solo & Chewbacca. The issue was written by Marc Guggenheim, illustrated by David Messina and Paul Fry, and published by Marvel Comics[1] on September 28, 2022.[3] The 2024 reference book Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy, later stated that Phaedra was a Wroonian.[4] However, the fourth issue of the 2025 comic series Star Wars: Jedi Knights—also written by Guggenheim, illustrated by Madibek Musabekov, and published by Marvel[2] on June 4, 2025[5]—indicated that her species was Quaraxian.[2] When asked, Guggenheim confirmed that he had intended for Jedi Knights 4 to confirm Phaedra's species as Quaraxian.[6]
