Sikurdians were a sentient species[1] from the Sikurd system.[2] During the Clone Wars, Sikurdian privateers supported the Corporate Alliance, which had pledged its resources to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, in defending its headquarters on the planet Murkhana.[1] During the Imperial Era, Sikurdian pirates were active in the Lower Flora Cloud, and Luke Skywalker claimed to have been attacked by them while bluffing his way through a stormtrooper patrol at a refueling station over Devaron.[3]

Behind the scenes

Sikurdians were first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in Rise of the Separatists, a 2019 supplement to Fantasy Flight Games' series of Star Wars roleplaying products.[1] They were originally created for the Star Wars Legends continuity, where they first appeared in the 1977 comic book Star Wars (1977) 7, which was written by Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin, who also provided the illustrations.[4]
