Rib

"We've got concussions, a fractured arm, a hand with no meat on it, and our medics are tied up removing a rib from a lung."

―Lieutenant Piloc

Ribs were the supporting structure of a being's chest anatomy. The large lizard-like brezaks had a flexible rib cage, allowing them to deploy their skin flaps in order to glide through the air. The Trandoshan Cradossk, former leader of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, kept the ribs of his vanquished foes in his bone chamber.

"Ribs" also described the meat surrounding the rib cage that were often eaten as a delicacy. Types of ribs included Dewback ribs, karkan ribenes and traladon ribs.
