Mon Calamari
The Mon Calamari (also known as Calamari, Calamarians, Mon Cal or Mon Calamarians) were one of the sentient species indigenous to the world of Dac. The Mon Calamari are one of the staunchest supporters of the New Republic. These once-peaceful beings learned to make weapons and fight after the Empire enslaved their world. Mon Calamari assistance, especially in the form of ship-engineering, was essential to the defeat of the Empire.The Mon Calamari are land creatures, but water is essential to their culture. They are used to moist climates and find arid areas, such as deserts, uncomfortable and unnatural. They share their homeworld with the Quarren ("squidheads"), although the relationship between the two species has not always been friendly or peaceful.In terms of behavior, Mon Cals are soft-spoken but forceful. They tend to see life as very organized, and have no tolerance for those who would break or bend laws for personal gain. They have, at times, come into strong conflict with organized smuggling organizations, including the one run by Jabba the Hutt.

Story Factors:
Enslaved: Prior to the Battle of Endor, most Mon Calamari not directly allied with the Rebel Alliance were enslaved by the Empire and in labor camps. Imperial officials have placed a high priority on the capture of any "free" Mon Calamari due to their resistance against the Empire. Theirs was one of the first systems to declare their support for the Rebellion.
