Alcedians were a sentient species of humanoids that were avian in nature. They possessed light gray skin and their homeworld was Valo, a planet situated in the Outer Rim. Although this species once possessed wings, they were no longer present by the time of the High Republic Era; however, some individuals retained feathers on their shoulders and arms. Two Jedi Initiates, named Kildo and Tep Tep, were members of this species during that period. Furthermore, the archaeologist known as Kho Phon Farrus was also an Alcedian during the Imperial Era.
