Arthurians were a species that possessed sentience. A delegation of Arthurians was scheduled to engage in discussions with Senator Padmé Amidala of the Galactic Republic at some point during the Clone Wars. Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano observed that Arthurians did not utilize eating implements.
Arthurians bore a strong resemblance to humans. They were characterized by a bipedal stance, an erect posture, and the presence of two arms, two legs, hands, feet, a thorax, a neck, and a head. Their distinguishing feature was their grayish-blue skin tone. A more unusual trait was the presence of taste receptors on their hands.
Etiquette held significant importance for Arthurians. For instance, direct eye contact was permissible only during conversation. Due to the presence of taste receptors in their hands, Arthurians consistently wore gloves in public settings, except during meals. Consequently, they viewed the use of utensils as offensive. Within their cultural framework, the color white symbolized respect and was exclusively worn by individuals in positions of authority.
The Arthurians originated from a planet called Arthuria.
During the era of the Clone Wars, the Arthurians maintained a position of neutrality, remaining unaligned with either the Galactic Republic or the Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, at one juncture during the conflict, they perceived the Confederacy as impolite and lacking respect, leading them to initiate negotiations for an alliance with the Republic. Padmé Amidala, the senator representing Naboo in the Republic's Galactic Senate, was entrusted with the responsibility of leading these discussions.
The Arthurians were initially referenced in the Star Wars Forces of Destiny episode "The Imposter Inside." However, their formal identification as a distinct species occurred with their debut appearance in the comic adaptation.
