- "These creatures are little more than animals. You can't lie to an animal! They can't be trusted."
- ―A gravely mistaken Chairman Chi Cho on the Talz
The Talz were a sentient species native to the planet Orto Plutonia, on which they remained undiscovered until the Clone Wars. Their discovery caused a brief war between a Talz village, and the Pantoran Assembly, due to Chairman Chi Cho of Pantora believing they were a hostile force. After the death of Cho, Senator Riyo Chuchi of Pantora talked with, and ended the war with, the Chieftain of the village, Thi-Sen. After this the Talz were officially recognized a free and equal people, and were allowed to live peacefully on their homeplanet.
Biology and appearance
- "Technically, Muftak, I believe your kind may be animals."
- ―Djas Puhr
Talz were large bipeds covered in thick, shaggy white fur with sharp talons capping their five-fingered hands. They possessed four black eyes (the small ones were used for day vision, and the larger ones for night vision) and a small proboscis for feeding and communicating.[7]
Society and culture
- "Steady Anakin, they're only curious. Let's not provoke them as the droids and our troops must have done."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Talz were a primitive civilization that used few tools[7] and lived a simple life in a harsh environment.[3] They organized themselves in tribes led by chieftains,[1] and used the native narglatches as mounts and protection.[3] They had a language of their own, called Talzzi,[4] but were unable to speak Galactic Basic.[1]
History
- "They only want to be left alone. The droids attacked them, and I'm afraid our outpost got caught in the middle."
- ―Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ramakak was a member of the Talz species.
The Talz hailed from Orto Plutonia, a frigid planet located in the Pantora system.[8] During the Clone Wars, both the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems attempted to establish outposts on Orto Plutonia, only to be wiped out by the natives.[3] After the attack on the Republic base, Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived with a detachment of clone troopers, which included Skywalker's Clone Captain, Rex. The Jedi and clones were also joined by the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, and representatives of the planet Pantora, which was in the same system. These representatives were Chairman Chi Cho, Senator Riyo Chuchi. Cho believed that whoever had attacked the Republic were an aggressive force, and waged war on the Talz who had attacked: Chieftain Thi-Sen and his Talz tribe. The ensuing battle caused heavy casualties on both sides, including the two Pantoran guards who tried to protect the chairman, and the majority of the clone cold assault troopers minus Rex himself and a few other clones. The two Pantoran guards were also killed, and Cho was badly injured. He ordered Chuchi to destroy the Talz, but she refused, as his actions had been seen as being out of order by the Pantoran Assembly. After hearing this Cho was left in disbelief and with his last breaths said that he had died for his people, and then died from his injuries. Chuchi approached Thi-sen, and brought C-3PO as a translator. Chuchi explained that to die for ones people was a great sacrifice, but to live for them was a greater sacrifice. She said she would live for her people, and Thi-sen said he would do the same. The two groups departed as equals, and the Talz were recognized as the sovereign and free people of Orto Plutonia.[1]
During the Galactic Civil War, the Talz were still a primitive species. They used few tools, and they were only taken to space by slavers.[9]
Talz in the galaxy
By the time of the Clone Wars, the Talz were not advanced enough to master space travel,[1] and, by the Galactic Civil War, the species was still primitive, and Talz were taken out to space by slavers.[9] During the war, some Talz could be found on planets such as Tatooine,[2] Espirion,[10] and Son-tuul.[11] At least one Talz was present at Chalmun's Cantina when Obi-Wan Kenobi saved Luke Skywalker from Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba by cutting off the latter’s arm.[2]

The reference book uses present tense, so this must mean that, during the Galactic Civil War, the Talz were still a primitive species that was only taken to space because of slavers.
