The Herglics were a species of sizable, sentient aliens characterized by black skin, a sizable mouth, glistening eyes, and a dorsal blowhole. Due to the oppressive actions of the Galactic Empire, many sought sanctuary on Level 1782 of Coruscant, where one heroically saved Anandra Milon from a stormtrooper.

One Herglic was captured by Trandoshan slavers and subsequently sold to the [Xonti Brothers](/article/xonti_brothers], who intended to train him as a gladiator. Sadly, this Herglic perished during training.
Not long after the destruction of Alderaan in 0 BBY, a Herglic criminal bravely eliminated a stormtrooper to liberate Anandra Milon on Level 1997, implying that the fugitive might find refuge on Level 1782. The Herglic Qensog, a contact of the informant Bodo Linx, furnished several Rebel Alliance refugees with the necessary coordinates to reach the MC80A Star Cruiser Home One, located within the Kaliida Nebula. By 4 ABY, the Herglic named Gor-kooda was employed by the Sullustan crime lord Surat Nuat and his gang on the planet Akiva. He accompanied his boss to a shop in pursuit of stolen goods. After eventually apprehending the shop's owner, Temmin Wexley, the Herglic escorted him to Nuat. However, while leading him to a cistern, they were ambushed by Sinjir Rath Velus and Jas Emari, who successfully escaped with the boy.
