Vinsoth/Legends

Vinsoth was the home planet of the Chevin and Chev species. It was a temperate planet with zones of grasslands, arctic ice, and deserts. The Chevin had a skin that could adapt to all three environments. In 3,000,000 BBY, an asteroid collided with the planet, killing most life on its surface but the remaining survivors evolved into the Chevin. The Chevin were nomads, keeping their Chev slaves in small farming and manufacturing villages. The planet was composed of seven continents, each ruled by a Chevin dictator who remained stationary, while the rest of the Chevin migrated. After the Battle of Endor, Ephant Mon established a Force-cult temple on the planet and advocated Chev liberation.

After the Yuuzhan Vong War, many Chevins favored abolishing slavery and joining the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. However, they had to form secret societies, as they were persecuted as traitors by the local dicators, who sent assassins after them.
