The winged xendrite, an insect-eating species, originated from Xend and is considered native there. These creatures, being insectivores, were transported to numerous planets across the galaxy as a means of managing insect populations.
Xendrites frequently served as a biological pest control agent on various planets, a practice that often resulted in overpopulation issues. On Sirdar, for instance, the introduction of these creatures to eradicate insects led to significant ecological harm due to their waste products. Furthermore, they proliferated into massive swarms that obscured sunlight. To address this problem, the Governor of Sirdar enlisted Yosev Seville and her team to eliminate the xendrites from the planet, offering a payment of 25 million credits.
