Anguilla, beings of the ocean and possessing sentience, were a native species of Alluuvia located within the Elrood sector.
Their physical form was akin to elongated, powerfully built eels, notable for their long arms ending in strong hands. Functioning as early, wandering hunters, they tracked the seasonal movements of fish schools, establishing their leaders through displays of physical prowess known as the Rites of Conch-tar.
Their initial encounter with outsiders occurred shortly after the Battle of Yavin. An Imperial [Private](/article/private-legends], driven by prejudice, immediately opened fire on the first Anguilla encountered upon landing on Alluuvia, an act which triggered a widespread slaughter by other Imperial troops. Under the leadership of Anyar, and in alliance with the Rebel Alliance, the Anguilla succeeded in obliterating the Imperial Mining, Ltd. facility situated on Alluuvia. Anyar brokered a deal with the Radell Mining Corporation for the exploitation of Alluuvia's underwater mineral resources (deemed poisonous to Humans), stipulating that all mining operations be supervised by Iych-thae, an individual of the Ithorian species.
The designation of Anguilla corresponds with Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory situated in the Caribbean.
