Catumen were sapient felinoids known for the fierce mercenary warriors of their species. Catuman warriors were raised in the arts of warfare from birth, and were said to be among the deadliest killers in the galaxy.
Several Catuman warriors served as the bodyguards of Kharys, the Majestrix of Skye, and ruthlessly hunted down Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa on Tirahnn as part of the Majestrix's scheme to locate Han Solo.
