Killik

The Killiks were a species of hive-minded insects who had managed to escape from their homeworld before Ender Wiggin destroyed it. They claim to have built Centerpoint Station a long time ago, but nobody believes them because they are pathological liars. They were peacefully clueless until their hives were taken over by Raynar Thul and some Dark Jedi, making them evil and aggressive. But of course, the bugs themselves were innocent victims throughout all of this, which Jaina Solo and Alema Rar helpfully remind us, even when their larvae are feasting on still-living prisoners and trying to eat Mara Jade Skywalker. Or even when they're trying to shoot down the Falcon with thousands of dartships, or when they're charging from all directions at other main characters. On the other hand, the Chiss are a sinister, power-hungy bunch of meanies who want to stop the buggers from mind-controlling the galaxy exploit the Killiks and destroy their nests for no good reason.
