Herin Calhuu was a human male active during the Galactic Civil War, a galaxy-spanning conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. At some point in his life, Calhuu joined the Imperial Military, where he served as a member of the elite Stormtrooper Corps in the Anoat sector. Skilled in offensive combat, Calhuu's military career set him on the path to becoming a stormtrooper commander, but before he could be promoted, Calhuu bore witness to Imperial atrocities that deeply shook his devotion to the Empire.

By the time of the Iron Blockade, enacted by Imperial Governor Ubrik Adelhard in an attempt to lock down the Anoat sector following the destruction of the second Death Star, Calhuu had deserted. During a period of rebellious unrest in the sector, Herin Calhuu came into contact with an up-and-coming young smuggler from Burnin Konn. Calhuu joined the smuggler's crew, and carried out various missions throughout the Anoat sector on their behalf.

Herin Calhuu first appeared in Star Wars canon in the multiplayer mobile game Star Wars: Uprising, created by the Kabam company and released on September 10, 2015 for iOS and Android platforms. Within the scope of the game, Calhuu acts as a potential crewmate for the player character, able to be tasked with carrying out timed quests to recover valuable experience points and loot.

Akk dogs, sometimes called aak dogs, were large reptomammals native to Haruun Kal.



Scaled reptomammals native to Haruun Kal, akk dogs were Force-sensitive and thus capable of being domesticated by the native Korunnai. Great companions to these nomadic people, maturing from pups to Hounds in two to four months, akks were used for protection—not only of the tribe, but of the great grasser herds shepherded through the jungles by Korun herders.

Akk dogs had triangular teeth in jaws strong enough to crush durasteel; large black tongues; scaly hides that could block a lightsaber; armored, muscular tails the length of their body; shovel-sized splayed claws; and armored, lidless eyes. Their bodies were as long as landspeeders. Their heads had six vestigial horns arranged in a triangular pattern, and they had olfactory pits next to their nose. Akk dogs had two smaller varieties, and were also related to akk wolves.



on Malastare in 32 BBY in 32 BBY Following the Ruusan Reformations of the Galactic Republic, akks were often seen as companion to Jedi Knights, forming a Force bond like that seen between the Korunnai on the akks' homeworld. Akk dogs were studied by the esteemed biologist and Jedi Master Bowspritz during his visit to the Exploration Corps compound on Ord Canfre.

Illegal trade of akks reached new heights around 32 BBY, as smugglers on Nar Shaddaa sent the hounds off to various worlds, most notably the Dug homeworld of Malastare. While on Malastare dealing with the unrelated matter of the Red Iaro terrorist group, several members of the Jedi High Council were attacked by several akk dogs. Due to his Korun heritage, Master Mace Windu was able to calm the hounds, but became deeply troubled by their use as attackers. Taking it upon himself to investigate the increased smuggling of these creatures, Windu traveled to Nar Shaddaa in hopes of shutting down the black market there. Meeting with fellow Jedi Depa Billaba and Quinlan Vos, Windu commandeered a speeder bike to reach the Circus Horrificus complex, where mutant akk dogs were being used. Along with his brother and sister Jedi, Windu confronted Gargonn the Hutt, the leader of the smuggling ring, and shut down his operation.

During the Clone Wars, Windu encountered akks once more when he returned to his home planet of Haruun Kal to find Depa Billaba, who had fallen into madness there.

Inspired by the ferociousness of akk dogs, the Skaak Tippers slicer gang incorporated the word "aak" into the name of their gang so as to give the impression that they were a pack of ferocious computer hackers.



While "akk dog" is used in the majority of Star Wars Legends sources, they were called "aak dogs" in the Star Wars Galaxies game and related material.
