I am a Sullustan. Standing 1 to 1.5 meters tall, my people live in vast subterranean caverns beneath the surface of their homeworld. Sullust is a volcanic planet, with a harsh atmosphere. The underground caverns teem with small life-forms that we hunt for sources of food and clothing. The few predators that wander the planet's surface rarely venture underground. Sullustans speak a chattering language and are known throughout the galaxy as capable pilots and navigators. My people have perfect direction sense and memory, allowing us to remember the paths we have traveled, and maps we may have seen. This sense is a necessity in the labyrinthine caves of Sullust. The people of Sullust have achieved a high-level of technology, and their underground cities are popular among traders who visit the cobbled streets and the wide variety of shops.During the Galactic Civil War, my people were oppressed by the massive SoroSuub Corporation. The giant pro-Empire conglomerate disbanded the Sullustan Council, and ruled the planet, enforcing curfews and loyalty among the populace, and thrusting us into a cheerless existence. At that time, fully 50 percent of the planet's population owed their livelihood to SoroSuub.
