Sperm

Sperm was a type of gamete involved in the reproduction of certain species,[1] during which it was often paired with ova.[2] In several species, sperm was produced by males and ova by females;[1] in others, the same individual produced both sperm and eggs. For instance, the silicon-based shadow barnacle of the planet Coruscant released both egg seeds and sperm pollen into the atmosphere to reproduce.[3]
Females of the ghest species of the planet Rodia could mate with a male or extract sperm from a dead male to self-inseminate, leading to the laying of fertilized eggs.[1] Genetic engineering of the gra species for culvitation by sentient beings was so extensive that gra sperm and ova were sold "by the herd" with instruction manuals.[2]
