Parvinoth

"Look at that."
"Wow!"
"Wow."
"So beautiful."

―Kel and Eila, about a swarm of parvinoths^[3]

Parvinoths were non-sentient insects found throughout the Outer Rim Territories, including the forested planet Ashas Ree. While on a supply run in 34 ABY, the siblings Kel and Eila followed a swarm of the creatures to the entrance of Ashas Ree's Temple of the Force, entranced by their beauty.

Biology and appearance[]

Parvinoths were a type of non-sentient insects found throughout the Outer Rim Territories,^[1] including in the forests of the planet Ashas Ree.^[3] They featured silvery wings that glowed in sunlight,^[1] a blue body, white eyes, and yellow antennae.^[2]

Behavior[]

The species' delicate wings enabled parvinoths to fly harmlessly through a world's breezes,^[1] sometimes in swarms.^[3]

History[]

ParvinothKelEila-TheRelicRaiders — Kel and Eila followed a swarm of parvinoths to Ashas Ree's Temple of the Force.

While visiting Ashas Ree on a supply run alongside other residents of the supertanker fuel depot Colossus^[3] in 34 ABY,^[4] the siblings Eila and Kel were entranced by a^[3] dazzling^[5] parvinoth in the planet's outpost. When they commented on its beauty, the creature maintained the siblings' attention as it joined a swarm of the creatures. The pair decided to follow the insects to a nearby Temple of the Force as they flitted through the air, with Eila leaping in the air to try and catch one.^[3]

Colossus resident and spy Kazuda Xiono was frustrated upon finding the children had wandered off and chased them to the temple's entrance, noticing the swarm of parvinoth dispersed as he approached. Despite Xiono's protests, Kel and Eila followed a single parvinoth into the structure. As the creature flew upward to a gap in the roof, then later downward toward the temple's entrance to the Sith temple below, the group's attention was drawn to several symbols carved into the ground.^[3]
