Leresen system

TheLeresai (adj.Leresen) of theMid Rim were aspecies which sided against theBothans during theCaamas Document crisis in19 ABY. When two Leresai were killed in ariot onBothawui, Leresen law (summarized as "life for life, one guilty for himself or ten innocent of his tribe") demanded retribution. According to the Leresai, since the Bothans refused to turn over the guilty security guards, the Leresai were entitled to kill twenty innocent Bothans. They accomplished this by destroying a zero-gravity crystal factory in Bothawui orbit, carrying a crew of twenty-one.GeneralWedge Antilles andRogue Squadron attempted to stop the Leresai warships, but the weapons systems on theirX-wings had been sabotaged by Leresai onDi'tai'ni. The Leresai openly admitted this sabotage - in their view, it was an honorable action that prevented neutralNew Republic forces from harm.

The Leresai were also noted for surprisingly melodious voices.
