The Saurtons were a sentient species of reptilian beings that were native to the world of Essowyn.
Typically displaying gold-colored skin, these reptiles walked on two legs and often reached heights approaching two meters. Known for their swiftness and volatile nature, Saurtons frequently provoked conflicts with others. Despite possessing resistance to various diseases, they could harbor numerous hazardous bacteria. Consequently, visitors venturing to Essowyn were required to exercise heightened caution to maintain their health, as Saurton settlements were notoriously unhygienic.

Due to Essowyn's rich metal deposits, the Saurtons developed sophisticated technologies, encompassing radio-wave communication devices, ranged weaponry, and cutting-edge manufacturing equipment. Following the discovery of their planet by a Galactic Republic exploratory mission, the Saurtons embraced more advanced technologies, eventually achieving technological parity with most civilizations in the galaxy.
