Evocii

The Evocii were a primitive humanoid race from Evocar, which later became the capital Hutt world Nal Hutta. When the Hutts arrived from their homeworld Varl, the Evocii were amazed by the wonderful technologies that the slug-like aliens brought with them. Soon they began exchanging pieces of their homeworld in exchange for the technology the Hutts brought with them, until they realized that the Hutts owned almost their entire world. Hutt palaces, amusement parks and other constructions were built all over Evocar, and the Evocii were powerless against the Hutts.

They appealed to the Galactic Republic, though the laws of the Republic then ruled in favor of the Hutts. The Evocii were evicted from Evocar by the Hutts and relocated to the planet's fifth moon which would later be known as Nar Shaddaa, "The Smuggler's Moon." The Hutts then used their Evocii subjects as slave labourers to build the spaceports and cities of Nar Shaddaa. Most of the Evocii eventually died off from long periods of exposure to Nar Shaddaa's atmosphere, and the surviving few began mutating in the lower levels of Nar Shaddaa due to the various technologies practiced on the moon. The Hutts then destroyed the remaining Evocii architecture.

The ancient history of the Evocii tells that their people revered a holy stone, known as the Uransien. Supposedly this spherical stone watched over the people, and as it rested peacefully within the Evocii capital, the people enjoyed goog health and prosperity. After the Hutts invaded, however, the Uransien was lost. This may have been a factor in the speed of the Evocii's despair.

In the late years of deporation, a small group of Evocii stole a Hutt starship and managed to escape the system. Not particulary adept with space travel the small band of Evocii crash landed on a heavily forested planet several days later. These few established a hidden community on their new homeworld, which flourished through many millennia, protected by the giant trees surrounding it. They called their home Gros'avinath, or "Big Tree."

Though it took almost twenty-five thousand years, the quiet Evocii village began to dwindle despite the life abounding in the lush forest. Most believeed thier term of existence was drawing to a close and that the absence of the sacred rock had finally began to mainfest. One among these believers was the spiritual guide Gothar Marath. He had long been a student of the forces of nature as well as the history of his people. Many of his brethren revered him the supernatural powers possessed.

There was little debate that Gothar should leave his home when the opportunity arose. Several of the village hunters returned from their night patrol in the forest with a group of strangers. Among them wereAbu-Tai and Uri-kai, two jedi Knights, Arem-Ta, a rough hewn freighter pilot, and Meela'lin' a blue skinned Twi'lek. It was in this company that Gothar was able to leave the planet and seek out the Uransien, hopeing to save his people. It is likely in 26ABY that the Evocii on Gros'avinath, wild cousins on Nar Shraddaa became extinct due to the Yuuzhan Vong's complete deverstation on Smuggler's moon. As well as thier origanal homeworld Nal Hutta/Evocar.
