The Saurtons were a sentient species of reptilian beings that were native to the world of Essowyn.
Typically exhibiting gold-colored skin, these reptilian bipeds generally stood at a height of approximately two meters. The Saurtons were known for their agility and volatile nature, frequently provoking conflicts with others. While they possessed resistance to various illnesses, they could act as vectors for numerous hazardous bacteria. Consequently, those visiting Essowyn needed to exercise extreme caution to maintain their health, as Saurton settlements were notoriously unhygienic.

Due to Essowyn's abundant metal resources, the Saurtons developed sophisticated technologies, including devices for radio-wave communication, ranged weaponry, and complex automated manufacturing systems. Following the discovery of their planet by a Galactic Republic exploration team, the Saurtons integrated more advanced technologies, eventually achieving a level of technological advancement comparable to most other civilizations in the galaxy.
