The Dorneans were a species that were native to the planet known as Dornea. To safeguard their homeworld from the forces of the Galactic Empire, the Dorneans engineered the Braha'tok-class gunship, a gunship class produced by the Dornean Braha'ket Fleetworks Conglomerate. Following the Battle of Yavin and Dornea's subsequent alliance, several of these gunships were deployed to assist the Rebel Alliance.
The 2018 reference book titled Star Wars Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles, authored by Landry Q. Walker, marked the initial mention of the Dornean species. Within the context of Star Wars Legends, the species made its debut appearance in the 1996 novel Before the Storm, penned by Michael P. Kube-McDowell.
