Trandoshan
Trandoshans are strong, reptilian, warlike humanoids from an arid world that orbits the same star as the lush wookiee homeworld. Bad blood exists between the two species for many reasons. In the centuries before the foundation of the Galactic Empire, the Trandoshans tried to colonize regions of the Wookiee homeworld and were driven back following numerous bloody skrimishes. The influx of tourists from other systems also worried the Wookiees, who started realizing the negative impact on their planet's delicate ecosystem. They created laws restricting the number of tourists allowed to visit their homeworld, which greatly reduced the number of tourists to the system and infuriated Trandoshians eager to profit from the the tourist trade.
Trandoshans raided the Wookiee homeworld, attempting to plunder its natural resources. The Wookiees brought the matter to the Senate, but that did not discourage the Trandoshans. Terrible battles raged on both worlds until, finally, the Senate rulled in favor of the Wookiees and put an end to the Trandoshan raids.
When Emporer Palpatine came into power and began seeking inexpensive alternatives to more traditional workforces, the Trandoshans seized the opportunity to take their revenge on the Wookiees. They reached an agreement with the Emporer and began delivering regular shipments of Wookiee slaves in exchange for varrious concessions, including economic sactions agaist the Wookiee homeworld.
Trandoshans value hunting above all else and worship a female deity who rewards the Trandoshans based on their success or failure in the hunt. Young Trandoshans hatch from eggs and have the ability to regenerate lost limbs. Trandoshans loose their regenerative abilities once they become young adults.
Trandoshans have supersensitive eyes that can see into the infrared range. They also shed their skin several times in the span of their lives. They have a difficult time manipulating delicate objects with their realatively clumsy clawed hands.
Trandoshans refer to themselves as "T'doshok."

Personality--Trandoshans are agressive, selfish, and vindictive beings. Violent, brutal, and driven, they love to compete, but can show compassion and mercy when the situation warrants. They like to collect trophies from varrious successful hunts, and they generally value credits more than friendship, although a Trandoshan will pledge his life to protect another being who has saved him from cartain death.
Trandoshans despise Wookiees above all other species and will not work alongside them except under the most extraordinary circumstances.
Homeworld--Trandosha (also called Hsskor or Dosha), an aid planet located in the Mid Rim. The planet orbits the same sun as Kashyyyk, the Wookiee homeworld.
Age in Years--Child 1-11; young adult 12-14; adult 15-34; middle age 35-49; old 50-59; venerable 60+
