Sullustans are affable, gregarious creatures known for their jowled
faces and chattering language. They are mouse-eared humanoids with
large, round eyes. After the age of 30 standard years, most Sullustans
begin to experience corneal defects, and have to be fitted with special
visors. They hail from the planet Sullust, a world allied with the
Rebellion during the Galactic Civil War. Planet Sullust is a barren,
volcanic world smothered by a heavy toxic cloud. Sullustans thrive in
tunnels deep beneath the planet surface where they have constructed
highly advanced, startlingly beautiful cities. Their ingenuity and
adaptability allowed them to created huge underground cities, and
Sullustans became known as some of the galaxy's best civil engineers.


The underground caverns teem with small life-forms that the Sullustans
hunt for sources of food and clothing. Wealthy sightseers from halfway
across the galaxy tour the hot-springs of Sullust and enjoy exotic
delicacies such as "drutash grubs" (which are best served with omaton
sauce). Their underground cities are also popular among traders who
visit the cobbled streets and the wide variety of shops.


Evolving in a network of dark, mazelike warrens imbued the species with
an unfailing sense of direction. Once a Sullustan has traveled a path,
the way is never forgotten. This innate skill even extends to
hyperspace, making Sullustans prized as star navigators and explorers.


During the Galactic Civil War, the Sullustans were oppressed by the
massive SoroSuub Corporation. SoroSuub, one of the galaxy's largest
manufacturing conglomerates, is based on Sullust and employs half of
the population in its mining, production and packaging departments. The
company makes hundreds of products, from injecto-kit shoes and battle
armor to the XP-38 landspeeder. SoroSuub is an ardent supporter of the
Galactic Empire, and has taken great pains to ensure that its legion of Sullustan workers never breathes a word of dissent and even
disbanded the Sullustan Council. They now rule the planet, enforcing
curfews and loyalty among the populace, and thrusting the Sullustans
into a cheerless existence. Even so, many Sullustans have taken issue
with this policy, and have shared their loyalty with the Rebel
Alliance...


A wave of rebellion swept through the planet's inhabitants just before
the Battle of Endor. It was then allowed to be the stop-over site for
the massing Rebel fleet prior to the destruction of the second Death
Star.



Sullustan characters tend to be hardy and active, with well-developed willpower.
