The Tlönians were a species of sentient arachnoids from the planet of Tlön in the Tlönia system. They were known for their poison-sacs and habit of preying on starships imprudent enough to cross their frontier. By the 6100s BBY, they had been exterminated by the Mandalorian Crusaders.[1] Prior to their extinction, the Tlönians crafted a particular type of shield. By the time of the Clone Wars, one of those Tlönian shields ended up in the possession of a genetic decoy of the terrorist Zeta Magnus.[2]
