Leresai

The Leresenians were a race of insectoids that resembled horned, clawed Kobothians. They were native to the Mid Rim planet Leresen. They were joined the New Republic, they attacked Bothawui after the revelation of the Caamas Document. The Leresenians claimed that the Bothawuians were responsible for the deaths of two of their own during the riots on Bothawui, and demanded either the guilty Bothawuians or the deaths of ten Bothawuians for each Leresenian. This was in accordance with Leresenian law, which demanded "a claw for a claw, a horn for a horn, a life for a life." Rogue Squadron tried to intervene, but their ships had been sabotaged by Leresenian maintenance workers on Di'tai'ni, and were unable to prevent the attack. The Leresenians attacked a zero-gee crystal manufacturing plant in orbit around Bothawui, claiming the lives demanded by their law, before the Peregrine could arrive. The actions of the Leresenians were hotly debated in the New Republic Senate, especially in light of the Caamas Document's contents.
