The Argoban were a group known for being raiders during the High Republic Era. In particular, they were known for kidnapping Aloxian children from Zav Alox to be enslaved as child soldiers. The Argoban would take away the vonduun crab skulls worn by the children in order to increase their aggression and natural killing instincts. When an Aloxian infant wound up at Takodana Castle, Maz Kanata's associate Farks speculated that the child had been taken by Argoban raiders for that purpose.
