Trianii/Legends

Designation: Sentient Planet of Origin: Trian Height of Average Adult: 2 meters

An advanced, adventurous feline species, the Trianii inhabit the outermost portion of the Corporate Sector. In many ways they were similar to the Togorians, Cathar, and Catuman Warriors. Unlike these other feline species, however, Trianii have prehensile tails, and their more agile figures are perfect for leaping, jumping, and acrobatics. Like most feline species, Trianii have excellent balance and eyesight. Their sleep fur comes in a wide range of colours and patterns

Trianii females are generally stronger, faster, and more dexterous than their male counterparts. For this reason, tribunals of females called yu'nar run their society. Trianii culture is organized around their religious beliefs. Dance, art, music, literature, and even industry and commerce all revolve around spirituality. Atone time, the Trianii hosted many diverse religions, but the leaders of these different faiths all agreed upon a specific moral code of conduct and brought together a religious coalition that has lasted for thousands of years. Most Trianii are still active in the traditional faith of their families, though, and all religious figures are held in great regard.

Their species is fiercely independent. Trianii are constantly driven to explore, and being technologically advanced, they have established colonies in six systems, including Brochiib, Pypin, and Fibuli. Each of these colonies is organized as a completely independent civilization, founded by Trianii who were seeking a different way of life.

Because of their determination and forbearance, they ferociously resisted Corporate Sector Authority expansion into their territories. Colonists, assisted by Trianii Rangers (and independent space force of Trianii people) pushed the invaders out of their system.

Trian remained independent and unhindered throughout the rise and fall of the Empire. The Trianii have indicated no desire to join the New Republic.
