Esoomians were hulking humanoids indigenous to Esooma who bore a strong resemblance to the Zexx. They reached 3 meters in height and were immensely strong, but tended to be simpleminded and to speak in a garbled manner. They were regarded as among the best hired muscle in the galaxy.
During the Galactic Civil War, their homeworld was quarantined by the Galactic Empire; after the Battle of Endor, however, the quarantine was lifted, and Esoomians began seeking work throughout the galaxy.
The bounty hunter Tantor was an Esoomian,[1] as well as the shockboxer Tontruk.[2]
