P'w'eck

The P'w'ecks are a warm-blooded, dinosaur-like species similar in appearance to the Ssi-Ruuk but with lower intelligence, smaller size, short tails and drooping eyes. The Ssi-Ruuk have dominated the P'w'ecks for thousands of years, enslaving and controlling their lives. They are used as slaves, guards and beasts of burden and perform the lowest jobs in Ssi-Ruuvi society. The P'w'eck first appeared in the Expanded Universe novel The Truce at Bakura where they served onboard the Ssi-Ruuk warships. In the New Jedi Order novel Force Heretic II: Refugee, the Ssi-Ruuk try to retake Bakura. However their plot is foiled by a P'w'eck slave revolt organised by the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. Notable P'w'ecks include the leader of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement Lwothim.
