Bomodon (species)
The Bomodons were a sentient species,[1] native to the planet Bomodon in the Churba sector of the Mid Rim.[2][3] In 0 BBY, a number of Bomodon bounty hunters were present on Tatooine and were witnessed by the Rodian bounty hunter Greedo entering Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Bomodons were created by Tom and Martha Veitch for the short story "A Hunter's Fate: Greedo's Tale," published by Bantam Spectra in 1995 as part of the anthology Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina.[1] This story was later illustrated as the webstrip A Hunter's Fate: Greedo's Tale; however, no unidentified alien species appear in the background of the cantina scenes.[4] They received a homeworld in The Essential Atlas, published by Del Rey in 2009.[5]

The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion on the Jedi Council Forums (Literature board; posted by jasonfry on December 11, 2007, 7:59am; accessed October 19, 2012): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Bomodon appears to be one such case.
