Kadri’Ra
The Kadri'Ra were a large dragon-like sapient species believed to be related to the Duinuogwuin. Arapia was their adoptive homeworld.
Like the Duinuogwuin, the Kadri'Ra were a long-lived species, with a natural lifespan of 1,000 to 1,500 years. Though they shared the Duinuogwuin ability to survive in the vacuum of space, the Kadri'Ra could only survive in space for a few days while Duinuogwuin were said to live in vacuum for months at a time. Some of the Duinuogwuins' more unusual abilities, like natural repulsorlift flight and biological cold fusion, were also absent in the Kadri'Ra.
Kadri'Ra continued to grow through their life, reaching lengths of up to two hundred meters. They were protected by a tough exoskeleton, which expanded along with every growth cycle. Older, and larger, Kadri'Ra, often retreated to deep caverns or asteroid caves, where their exoskeletons conformed to their surroundings.
Kadri'Ra were a race of immensely wise scholars and philosophers. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, they were declared a non-sentient slave species by the Galactic Empire. Their immense strength and ability to survive vacuum made them popular targets for slavers, who forced them to become heavy laborers in construction projects or space docks. Slavery had reduced the Kadri'Ra population on Arapia from an estimated 140 million during the days of the Galactic Republic to a mere 14,000 by 0 BBY. The Force-sensitives among the Kadri'Ra also suffered, forced to hide their abilities or be killed.
Saadoon-Kauldi, a crime lord and Rebel sympathizer based on Neftali in the Socorro system, was one of the galaxy's prominent Kadri'Ra during the Galactic Civil War period.

Story Factors:
Enslaved: Because of their size and strength, Kadri’Ra have been prime targets of slavers. They are often forced to work as living earth-movers or as laborers in large-scale construction projects. Because they can exist in space for limited peroids of time, they have also been used as laborers in space docks. They are not considered sentient by the Empire and are not protected by any type of law. During the time of the Old Republic, there were an estimated 140,000,000 Kadri’Ra living on their adopted homeworld, Arapia. By contrast,when Emperor Palpatine dissolved the Imperial Senate,there were less than 14,000 remaining Kadri’Ra
