Korun



The Korunnai (singular, Korun) were a Human race from the planet Haruun Kal. They were a nomadic "tribe" of uplanders (which was the rough translation of "Korunnai" into Basic). They fought against the Balawai (downfolk) in the Summertime War, and were insultingly called Kornos by these enemies.

The Korunnai were genetically Human in almost every respect, except that they were all Force-sensitive, and used their Force powers to bind akk dogs and grassers to themselves. It is believed that a Jedi craft crashed on the planet during the Sith War, and the Korun were descendants of Jedi. In addition the Korunnai also had a higher tolerance to poisons, due to living near the toxic cloudsea that covered the lowlands of the planet. Their term for the Force was the Pelekotan.

The Korunnai spoke Korunnal, and organized themselves into tribes with many similarities to a family unit. These tribes were known as Ghôsh, one of the most prominent being Ghôsh Windu, the tribe of Kar Vastor and Mace Windu. The Korunnai version of a shrug was to tilt the head a centimeter to the right.

Korunnai measured distance not in length, but in transit time.

Behind the scenes
The name Korunnai apparently comes from the Greek word korynê, meaning club or mace -- a fitting name for Windu's people.
