Background: Steelpeckers were a non-sentient species of carrion bird native to the planet Jakku. The birds were ragged and mangy in appearance, with scraggly black feathers. They had strong beaks and talons tipped with iron and sharpened on scrap. They fed mainly on metal, to which its magnetic signature drew them. To digest the metal they consumed, steelpeckers stored vanadium, osmiridium, and corundum in their gizzards. Named for their diet, these birds were useful commodities to scavengers, who collected their carcasses and guano. Steelpeckers were nocturnal.
