The Sikurdians were a sapient race. In the time of the Clone Wars, Sikurdian privateers aided the Corporate Alliance, which had committed its assets to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, by helping to protect its base on the world of Murkhana. During the Imperial Era, Sikurdian pirates operated within the Lower Flora Cloud, and Luke Skywalker stated that they had assaulted him as he was trying to trick a stormtrooper patrol at a refueling station above Devaron.
The new Star Wars canon first made mention of Sikurdians in Rise of the Separatists, a 2019 addition to Fantasy Flight Games' line of Star Wars role-playing games. They were initially conceived for the Star Wars Legends timeline, making their debut in the 1977 comic, Star Wars (1977) 7, which was authored by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Howard Chaykin.
