Filordus

The Filordi (singular: Filordus) were a species of unusual, six-limbed aliens which is native to the planet Filordis. The front pair of limbs were used as strong arms, and the rear pair of limbs were heavily-muscled and used for walking. The middle pair of limbs were very thin, and is used for stabilizing their thick bodies during locomotion. In the galaxy at large, the average Filordi was known to have two desires: to make their homeworld less hostile, and to get away from it as fast as they could. The Filordi were one of three races, along with the Neimoidians and the Caarites, which controlled the Trade Federation during the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo. However, both the Filordi and the Caarites were unprepared for the Neimoidians' plans to blockade the Naboo System, and decided to break off their relationship with the Trade Federation. Together, the two races formed the Metatheran Cartel, and began making plans to wrest control of Cularin from the Federation if the blockade of Naboo should fail. When the Federation was defeated at Naboo and was faced with the loss of their trade charter, the Metatheran Cartel assumed control of Cularin.
