Trunsks are stout, hairy bipeds with large, wild-looking eyes. Members of the species are entirely covered in fur except for the facial regions, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The Trunsks possess four digits on each hand, tipped with sharp fighting claws that can easily make short work of an enemy.
Trunska is a rocky world in the Colonies region. The ancestors of the Trunsks were clawed predators who hunted the variuous tuber-eating, hoofed creatures that populated the world. As these ancestral Trunsks developed sentience, their paws became true hands with opposable thumbs (though the claws remain), and they began to walk upright.
During Emperor Palpatine's reign, the Trunsks lost their freedom and position in the galaxy. They were declared a slave species, and members were taken away from Trunska by the thousands. Early Imperial slavers soon learned that the Trunsks were not a species easily tamed, however, and today the Trunsks' popularity among the slave owners continues to dwindle.
The Trunsks are currently ruled by Emperor Belgoa. Belgoa is merely an Imperial figurehead; his appointment as ruler of the world fools the Trunsks into believing that one of their own is in charge. Belgoa publicly denounces the enslavement of his people and assures them that he is doing all he can to stop it, but he is secretly allowing the Empire and other parties to take slaves from Trunska. In exchange, the local Moff allows Belgoa final say over which Trunsks stay or go. Obviously, Belgoa has few enemies left on the planet.
The Trunsks have access to hyperspace-level technology, but by Imperial law, Trunsks are not allowed to carry weapons or pilot armed starships. Trunska sees a constant influx of traders, though the selling of weapons is forbidden - a law strictly enforced by the Trunskan police force. |
