GAMORREAN THUG [RIVAL] ITHORIAN STORYTELLER [RIVAL]

Gamorreans are porcine humanoids with a penchant
for barbarism and thuggishness. Hailing from the Outer
Rim planet of Gamorr, these violent and thoroughly
dull-witted creatures would likely have never made it
into the wider galaxy. However, at some point some
enterprising individual realized that the Gamorreans
complete unpleasantness was matched only by their
utility as dumb, strong muscle. Now many individuals
from crime barons to wealthy nobles employ Gamor-
reans as guards. They are unintelligent enough to be
difficult to bribe and strong enough to be truly terrify-
ing in a fight.

The noble Ithorian people, often known by the semi-

derogatory nickname "Hammerheads" because of

their unique cranial shape, are known for their peace-

ful, scholarly nature and their devotion to the natural

environments of the galaxy. Many Ithorians travel the

galaxy aboard massive ships known as "herd ships,"

although some choose to travel in a solitary manner.

Those who do are often steeped in the traditions and

lore of their people and enjoy gathering stories of oth-

ers like themselves. To them, stories are a unique form

of culture that should be studied and maintained at all

costs and they are happy to speak with others who

might have stories to share with them.

MYNOCK [MINION]

, Mynocks are disgusting, silicon-based space para-

sites that survive by latching onto the hulls of star-

ships and feeding off power cables and other vital

systems. About a meter long with wings that could

* be used in atmosphere, they have spread through-

out the galaxy by hitching rides on passing star-

ships. They absorb matter and energy from

their hosts, which can eventually cause sys-

tem failure. Mynocks can be found on the

surface of several different worlds, although

their allergy to helium limits the number of

habitats in which they can survive.
