The Argoban were a band infamous throughout the High Republic Era as raiders. Their notoriety stemmed, in large part, from their practice of abducting Aloxian children from Zav Alox. These children were then enslaved and forced to become child soldiers. To amplify their aggression and inherent killing tendencies, the Argoban would strip the vonduun crab skulls from the children. Maz Kanata's colleague, Farks, once surmised that an Aloxian infant discovered at Takodana Castle had been seized by Argoban raiders with this very objective in mind.
