layer of thick skin and white fur.  T'karrans have large eyes which are covered with a semi-transparent

lens which provides protection from glacial reflection and have vestigal tusks which protrude from

beneath their powerful jaws.  They are equipped with long, powerful  arms which reach below their

knee-joints even when fully upright and they use these arms with great efficiency in combat.  Although

T'Karrans are a relatively peaceful race, they have a natural combat ability and physical presence that

gives them a fearsome contenance. T'Karra is a cool, glacial planet of standard gravity, a type I atmosphere,  and no moons.  The planet

itself offers little in the way of significant   resources other than a rich supply of meteoric metals

trapped in the ice layers (due to a period of long meteor bombardment and the eventual fall of

T'Karra's small moon).  Food resources are unusually rich; there are wide varieties of marine life as

well as avians - plants are restricted to a few types of sea-kelp and thick algaes. The culture of the T'Karran people is a fairly straightforward one of  survival and advancement.  Since

the first of their kind made tools from the bones of sea mammals and pounded meteoric metals, they have

rapidly developed into an advanced tool-using culture.  T'Karrans have developed an advanced

metal-working science as well as an engineering science based on the use of glacial ice and basaltic

rock - the lack of burnable plant material has been offset by the presence of a great number of natural

heat and magma vents scattered around the inhabited areas of T'Karra. T'Karrans have little knowledge

of the Force but their animistic belief  system meshes nicely with the Jedi system. The T'Karrans have

developed an info-tech level society that was on the vergeof space flight when discovered by Rebel

Alliance scouts.  They have rapidly adapted to the notion of a galaxy populated by various alien races

and have eagerly made arrangements with the Rebellion to allow them access to advanced technology in

exchange for mineral and land rights on their world.  Even now  the Rebellion has constructed an

enormous secure base within a glacial plateau on the planet.
