The Habeen were one of two sentient species originally from the Mylok system. Together with the Nharwaak, the other indigenous species of their star system, the Habeen collaborated on the creation and manufacture of a novel hyperdrive technology.
Around 3 ABY, a civil war broke out between the Habeen and Nharwaak, with the goal of each group gaining control over their jointly developed technology. Shortly after the start of this conflict, Imperial Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin was sent to the Mylok system. His mission was to stop the war and acquire the new hyperdrive for his cutting-edge TIE Series starfighter designs, specifically the TIE/ad starfighter and TIE/D Defender. In return for assistance, the Habeen offered the technology to the Empire. Zaarin accepted this offer, and with the help of skilled pilot Maarek Stele, he successfully defeated the combined forces of the Nharwaak and the Rebel Alliance.
