―Ahsoka Tano andAnakin Skywalker, dodging neebray in theKaliida Nebula^[2]

Neebray were flying, limbless creatures which varied greatly in size and habitat. They could be found on manyworlds, such asRugosa,Rishi moon, andTatooine (where they sometimes circled overJabba's Palace), and even inspace, notably in theKaliida Nebula along theBalmorra Run.^[1]

Characteristics[]

Giant neebray mantas in theKaliida Nebula

On themoon Rugosa, tiny baby neebray flew among the coral forests of the moon's long-dried-up ocean beds as a stop along theirinterstellar voyage.^[4] A moderately large variety had translucent wings, and could be found on aRishi moon. The gigantic neebray manta lived in the vacuum of space, feeding on stellar gases. They used theKaliida Nebula as nesting grounds. They also usedVeil Nebula as feeding ground,^[6] feeding on its stellar gases.^[7]

History[]

During theClone Wars,Shadow Squadron encountered a flock of neebray mantas while navigating theBalmorra Run on their way through the Kaliida Nebula. A brush with one caused one ofMatchstick's engine stabilizers to give out. This crippling would cause Matchstick andTag's deaths during theBattle of the Kaliida Nebula. A brush with another neebray caused another pilot'sastromech droid's dome to be knocked off, destroying it.^[4]

Tofen Vane andhis raiders hidtheir base in theVeil Nebula. When the Republic attacked the base, Vane and his raiders used a transmission to make the neebray attack the Republic ships.^[6]
