Tunroth

The Tunroth were bipedal sapients indigenous to Jiroch-Reslia. Towering and physically strong, Tunroths had flat anvil-shaped heads with nostrils in the forehead and horns protruding from the chin. They were feared as warriors and it was said that "even Wookiees let the Tonroth win".

Characteristics
Tunroth spoke the language Tunrothese. Tunroth were completely hairless creatures with bulbous muscles. The average Tunroth had an elongated skull that came out forward of their necks. Their hands sported two opposable thumbs and fingerlike fin.

Tunroth were hardworking, fierce, and oppertunist. They adjusted quickly to changing situations. Tunroth society respected good hunters over all else, and virtually all Tunroth wished to become great hunters.

History
The Tunroth were tribalistic hunter-gatherers before Duros scouts discovered them in 9000 BBY. Despite galactic level technology permitting the Tunroth to colonize other planets in either home system, the Tunroth continued to use primitive weapons called klirun.

In 10 BBY, Lortan zealots swept through the Tunroth home system. Known as the Reslian Purge, millions of Tunroth would die terribly at the hands of merciless fanatics. Due to their reliance on the klirun and other such primitive weapons the fierce Tunroth could not repel their invaders. The Imperial Navy ended the purge, only because it served their needs. Because of this, the Tunroth became steadfast supporters of Palpatine's New Order.

After the Battle of Endor the Tunroth hesitated in joining the New Republic for shame in being Imperial sympathizers. However, the New Republic welcomed the Tunroth with open arms, making their shame largely unfounded.
