As for these guys, I'm gonna say the Chiss just because of Thrawn. He kicked so much ass he could have pwned the Yuuzhan Vong is about 3 days, completely and utterly... Well, actually, if he didn't know about them, he would have been good, still the best, but not as good as he was. Part of his strategies were fighting using cultures as well,
I like the Mandalorians. And from what I know, Boba Fett was not a Mandalorian, but was merely trained in their ways and wore their armour... And descended from them... So he's as close as you can get to a Mandalorian without being one, apart from Jango. Although as clones... Andyway, the Mandalorians died out many thousands of years ago if I remember my KOTOR 2 correctly.
Jango Fett was orphaned at an early age, the son of simple Concord Dawn farmers killed by brutal marauders. At the age of ten, he was picked up by Journeyman Protector Jaster Mereel, who introduced Fett to a harsh world of mercenary life. He was raised among great warriors, learning to survive in the rugged frontiers. Though the Mandalorian supercommandos were wiped out by the Jedi Knights, Jango was one of the few left to still wear the armor.
Years of physical conditioning and training honed him into one of the most feared bounty hunters in the underworld. Not even Black Sun Vigos were safe from his dual blaster pistols. On occasion, Fett would tangle with Zam Wesell, as their talents would overlap on similar assignments. Though he preferred working solo, the two teamed up when it was prudent. The two shared a misadventure in tracking down a rare artifact from Seylott, which granted its user incredible power. Fett all but disappeared from bounty hunting circles as he took time to raise his son. He sought to experience what his life might have been like had he been raised by a caring guardian. Still, if the credits were right or the challenge appealed to him, he would don his battle armor periodically and venture from his hiding place.
You better not be implying that you were once a Jawa for Halloween without the pictures to prove it. Cause no one would make a Jawa costume without getting pictures of it.
So the Sith were an actual race? I thought it was merely a title for what the opposite of what a Jedi was until I just read this.
Sith
Long extinct, the Sith was the native species of the planet Ziost.[citation needed] They had red skin and tentacle 'beards', and had a natural talent for mastering the Force. Naturally cruel and manipulative, the Sith spread throughout the outer rim in the early days of the Old Republic, eventually centering their empire on Korriban. Some time after the Great Schism several refugee Dark Jedi settled on the planet. Amazing the Sith with their mastery of the Force, the fallen Jedi soon elevated themselves to god-like status, becoming the rulers of the Sith. As the centuries passed, interbreeding occurred between the human Dark Jedi and the Sith, creating a half-species with an enormous talent for manipulating the Force. This species, which were also called Sith, had red skin like the original Sith. A prominent member of this half-species was the Sith Lord Marka Ragnos. The half-Sith species is also considered extinct.[citation needed]
The name 'Sith' was adopted by their Dark Jedi rulers, and has later been used by numerous fallen Jedi organizations.

I really enjoy all the movies and games of Star Wars...Literally i have every single Good game and I have all 7 movies. But I never thought about doing research like that Siaynoq. That was a good read.

Hey, i found this really interesting read about the chiss:
The Chiss are a race of blue-skinned humanoids was from the planet Csilla, in the Unknown Regions. Their homeworld was locked in a planet-wide ice age many millennia ago, and they were forced to flee the planet as a species in order to survive.
Thrawn, whose real name was Mitth'raw'nuruodo, revealed almost nothing about his species. However, agents of the New Republic, after conducting analyses of surrendered Imperial logs, found a few points of interest.
Exhibiting blue skin, jet-black hair, and glowing red eyes, the Chiss generally command attention in a crowd of regular humanoids. Their skin and eye color, it is believed, are due to a chemical reaction they experience in an oxygen atmosphere.
While their history has been marked by nearly continual warfare and conquest of other worlds, the Chiss are generally not violent. They prefer to extend themselves only from a defensive posture, and viewed the idea of a pre-emptive strike against an enemy as if it were murder. This unspoken law dated back nearly a millennium before the Battle of Endor, and was one of the strongest points of Chiss honor and morality.
The Chiss are an attractive, intelligent, and extremely private species, so protective of their society that they have managed to keep their existence largely secret from the rest of the galaxy. Scientists believe they bypass the adolescent stage of life and advance quickly to full maturity. They are highly evolved, taking great interest in arts and science, and maintain a powerful military. In many accounts, they are described as pensive—contemplative, deliberate, and calculating—studying situations from every viewpoint. They often consider all the alternatives, even what might have occurred if something had been done differently.
When attacked, the Chiss fight with calm, intelligent, well-planned strategies. They are an honorable species, however, and in the event of war, they always wait for their opponents to strike first. This is such a moral imperative that they exiled Thrawn when he called for a preemptive strike against an enemy.
Despite this rejection, Thrawn was protective of his people, and he never revealed their whereabouts. No other recorded encounters with the Chiss exist, although they are reputed to have driven back the Ssi-ruuk, a military threat considered by manyto be as fearsome as the Nagai and the Yevetha. There have also been reports of a major encounter between the Chiss and the Yuuzhan Vong during the battle at Garqi.
Many of the scientists at the Astrographic Survey Institute believed that the Chiss were among the first races to come in contact with the Yuuzhan Vong, some fifty years before their initial invasion. They theorized that the Chiss understood the Vong's military power, and began augmenting their own war machine to prepare to repel an invasion fleet.
Unfortunately, the Chiss remained isolated in the Unknown Regions, and wouldn't allow contact with the New Republic after the Battle of Ithor. Chiss sages spent a great deal of time researching the Yuuzhan Vong, and eventually learned that it had taken the alien invaders many generations to cross the gulf between galaxies.
One of the most interesting Imperial logs concerning the Chiss was recorded by Palpatine himself, noting his first meeting with Thrawn.
The alien Captain Voss Parck brought to me is interesting, not because of his appearance—which reveals the physical limitations of his race—but because of the brain that clearly lies behind those glowing red eyes. This one is constantly thinking, analyzing, strategizing. He showed no fear, but was curious, studying me in turn.
He is veil trained. He expressed no anger when I demonstrated my distaste at his presence. I was subtle about it, of course, as subtlety is more likely to insult such an intellect. I was hoping to spur him to anger, and I failed. I am intrigued, to say the least. And I could see that he was as intrigued with me. I could sense that he did recognize me as a threat, but wasn't fearful of harm. He simply studied me as a potential opponent. I am amused. I believe I will watch his new career with interest.
I only read a little about them when the New Republic go to the Imperial Remnant to ask for help fighinting the Yuuzhan Vong. In those books, the Imperial Remnant seems like a much more interesting society to live in as opposed to the New Republic which seems no different from the old Republic.
He trained there for he was.
