Who is the race that look like a rip off of Boush?

and surely a few copyright laws were breached

The Breen, from Deep Space 9, I assume. That one always did baffle me slightly...

Yeah...I think it was in Deep Space Nine...it was when some crew members got caught by the Jem Hadar...one of these Boush rip-offs was an injured prisoner...I remember seeing him and thinking WTF!!

Ya the Breen were from DS9, and I have not really thought of that before but they do look a lot like Boush. I wonder if the ST writers knew what they were creating when they made that race.

What are Boush? Is it the race that Leiha impersonated when infiltrating Jaba's pallace? If so, I noticed the resemblance imediately with the mask.

Wasnt Boush the name of the bounty hunter that she got the costume from, I remember in Shadows of the Empire, she got it from Black Sun. Were they Ubese? I can't remember....

EDIT: ah, so they were Ubese, I edited as you were posting...

Boush, who is an Ubese(some SW race),is just a bounty hunter in SW.

That's almost as bad as voyager using the "Quarren" as a race

Squid race, like the guy we see in Jabba's Palace.

What were they in Voyager?

An evil telepathic alien. Non-squid like.

The Bothans also showed up in Voyager and the writers of the STE had a funny side note about the destruction of the Death Star.

They appeared in an episode before that. Kira and Dukat had to team up to rescue Dukats half-Bajoran daughter from a Breen prison planet.

I am not sure if this is anything but did anybody else find it weird how in ST there is the planet Baku, and in SW there is the planet Bakura?
