The Er'Kit were a species of humanoids notable for their sizable, extended skulls and lengthy, slender limbs. One such Er'Kit was Ody Mandrell, a celebrated podracer who competed in the Boonta Eve Classic.
Originating from the planet Er'Kit situated in the Outer Rim Territories, the Er'Kit were a sentient race of humanoids. Distinctive features of the Er'Kit included their large, elongated craniums and long, skinny legs, complemented by skin tones encompassing various shades of blue, red, and purple. Their physical characteristics rendered them well-suited for life on desert planets, reflecting the environments of their homeworld.
The history of the Er'Kit's homeworld was marred by political controversy, involvement in the slave trade, and the presence of aggressive militias. Shortly before the Clone Wars commenced, Danry Ledwellow, an Er'Kit male senator, represented Er'Kit in the Galactic Senate. Following an issue involving Thalassian slavers, Ledwellow faced arrest, resulting in his private army of IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tanks falling into the possession of the Blood Dawn slavers.
Certain Er'Kit individuals originated from the planet Tatooine, which is located in the Outer Rim Territories.
During the High Republic Era, Er'Kit sisters Sabata and Bareen Krill were affiliated with the Nihil.
Ody Mandrell, a renowned podracer, was famous due to his team of pit droids that were instrumental in setting numerous records. During the Naboo Crisis, Mandrell participated in the Boonta Eve Classic.
