History[]
The Ychthytonians were native to the planet Ychthyton, located in the Belderone sector of the Outer Rim Territories. They were participants in the galactic community by 0 ABY and were part of the New Republic in 14 ABY. When Leia Organa Solo resigned from her position as Chief of State of the Republic due to allegations that her husband, the smuggler-turned-general Han Solo, had been somehow involved in the Senate bombing that occurred that year, her role was filled by Mon Mothma. A male Ychthytonian was among the well-wishers, senator's aides, and employment seekers that gathered in Mothma's anteroom to offer their congratulations. Also in the room at the time were the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, who believed they had uncovered the source of the bombing. The latter concealed himself behind the Ychthytonian from a Kloperian guard he had encountered earlier. When C-3PO almost announced their findings to all present in the waiting room, R2-D2 screeched to get him to stop, causing the Ychthytonian to use all four hands to cover his ears in discomfort. When R2-D2 then fled the anteroom, the Ychthytonian pointed the protocol droid in the direction of his missing counterpart.
Ychthytonians in the galaxy[]
Some Ychthytonians found work in the galaxy as bartenders, taking advantage of their four arms to deliver drinks quickly. In 0 ABY, an Ychthytonian worked as a bartender in Kislov's Gambling Palace, located on the planet Tythe. A gloomy individual, he utilized all four hands to serve his patrons their alcohol and caf. Another Ychthytonian bartender was Bômlas. He was infamous for having bet and lost one of his arms in a particularly savage game of sabacc; however he was still the fastest bartender known to Han Solo. In 14 ABY he worked at a bar on Skip 1, an asteroid located in Smuggler's Run and frequented by smugglers and other fringers.
