"The one and only Red Moons. In the flesh. Or the fur, depending on your point of view. Sully Tigerey, at madam's service."

- Sully Tigereye meeting ?

The Trunsks, natives of the planet Trunska, were among the many sentient species enslaved by the Galactic Empire. Descended from predatory mammals, Trunsks were stout fur-covered bipeds with large ears and nostrils, well adapted to their cold, thin-atmosphere home. Their wide, tusked mouth, vestigial horns, and sharp fighting claws gave them a fearsome appearance. Trunsks typically had a fierce temperament, and were paranoid towards outsiders and strangers.

As they progressed from agricultural settlements along the rivers to continent-spanning empires, Trunsk warlords continually feuded with each other. Eventually, the planet was unified by Tyl the Deplorable. By this point, the Trunsks had developed information-age level technology. Without wars to slow their progress, they rapidly developed hyperspace technology, and joined the Galactic Republic.

When the Galactic Empire came to power, the Trunsks lost their freedom, becoming one of many legally designated slave species. The Trunsk ruler, Emperor Belgoa, became an Imperial puppet who publicly denounced the enslavement of his people, but secretly allowed the Empire to take slaves (especially Belgoa's political enemies.) The slave trade continued, even though the defiant nature of Trunsks made them unpopular as slaves. Even free Trunsks on Trunska were not allowed access to armed spacecraft or personal weapons, a law strictly enforced by Belgoa's police.

Biology and appearance
"Micro blasters are the pop guns of the universe. I wouldn't be caught dead carrying one, but my furry friend with the claws is entitled to his opinion."

History
"Why couldn't Sully do this with you? He's better at this than I am." "Because he's an alien, and knowing how the Alignment and the Imperials feel about aliens, we don't want to draw any more attention than necessary."

Trunsks in the galaxy
"Tigereye's got more combat experience in his little right toe claw than most Imperial generals."
