Catumen, a sentient race of feline beings, were renowned for the formidable mercenary fighters that their species produced. From the moment they were born, Catuman warriors underwent rigorous combat training, leading to their reputation as some of the most lethal assassins throughout the galaxy.
A number of Catuman fighters were employed as protectors for Kharys, the Majestrix ruling Skye. They relentlessly pursued Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo on Tirahnn as part of the Majestrix's elaborate plot to find Han Solo.
