The Sugis were a species renowned throughout the galaxy for their exceptional skill as arms dealers.
These short bipeds, known as Sugi, sometimes wore powerful, armored exoskeletons. These suits augmented their bodies with four substantial legs and a segmented abdomen ending in a barb. This unusual appearance led some, such as Imperial officer Wilhuff Tarkin, to incorrectly believe they were an insectoid race.
During the Clone Wars, a group of Sugi arms dealers conducted their business on Utapau. With the exception of their leader, Endente, they were dressed in powersuits. Endente, along with Chong, was unique among them as he possessed the ability to communicate in Galactic Basic Standard. The Sugi arms dealers held a large kyber crystal that was the target of acquisition by the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
