Ryn/Legends

"It's like someome tossed a manka cat and a woolamander into a blender."

- Han Solo



The Ryn were a humanoid species, with huge tails, beak-like noses, and white hair. They were a nomadic species native to the Core Worlds. They were spread over the galaxy, their original homeworld forgotten, even to them. They had two theories: the first being that they were descended from thousands of musicians hired out to a world swept clean of artists, the second that they were the descendents of mercenaries deployed against an Inner Rim threat. The second gained credence due to the fact that the Ryn language contained many military words and phrases, mist notably the fact that the words for non-Ryn and civilian were related.

Due to their homelessness, musical talent, natural secrecy, and avoidance of written records, Ryn developed a gypsy-like culture and a reputation for con artistry, leaving many species prejudiced against them. In some sectors it was legal to enslave or hunt Ryn. Their language was outlawed in many locations, and a large number of Ryn women were used as slave breeders.

The largest concentration of Ryn was located in the Corporate Sector due to the fact that it was remote from those who would persecute them, and a Ryn healer saved the life of a CSA Executive Officer. The Ryn claimed to have invented sabacc, originally as a means of divination. They were a very musical people, being able to play their beaks like flutes. The Ryn ran an information network that was second to none.

Droma, Han Solo's friend and, for a time, co-pilot was a Ryn.
