The T'zaki constituted a species of sentient insectoid beings who possessed a collective consciousness, operating as a hive mind. As the Republic Era approached, the T'zaki society demonstrated a greater tolerance for slavery when contrasted with numerous human societies. In 40 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn, a Jedi Master, put forth the idea that their embrace of enslavement could stem from the T'zaki language essentially translating freedom as the absence of any defined role or objective.
The T'zaki were referenced in Master & Apprentice, a novel from 2019 authored by Claudia Gray.
