Tu'nang Ro
The Tu’nang Ro is an ape-like race of intelligent primates, found on the outer rim world of Tu’nang. They have short, squat, powerful bodies covered in hair that varies between a dark brown and vibrant orange in colour. The length of their body hair varies considerably based on personal preference, but seldom exceeds 20 centimetres in length. Their eyes are dark, usually shades of brown, though some have black eyes. Their arms are the full length of their bodies, their legs, however, are comparatively short; they are not built for speed. Tu’nang Ro do not need to wear clothes, but often wear cloth wrapped around their bodies in a loose fitting flowing style, that allows relatively good freedom of movement. These robes tend to be in dark in colour, providing contrast with the Tu’nang Ro’s often vibrant colouring.
They are a technologically advanced race and have developed hyper–drive technology; however, they are a reclusive race, which has tried to remain separate from the troubles that have plagued the galaxy under the rule of the empire. This means that it is rare to see members of this race except in the outer rim territories near their home world. They are trying to avoid the attention of the Empire, especially since the enslavement of the Wookiees.
Tu’nang Ro are generally quite gentle, however, when they are threatened they can prove to be fearsome warriors indeed. They are more suited to close quarters fighting and brawling, where they can use their superior dexterity and strength to their advantage and a charging Tu’nang Ro is an incredible and terrifying sight to behold. Tu’nang warriors, although capable of using blasters, tend to favour more traditional styles of weapon, such as vibro spears, vibro javelins, stun bolas and, the particular favourite, the Rooballa, a powered boomerang that delivers an extreme burst of energy on impact.

Special Abilities:
Good Climbers: Tu'nang Ro, due to their long arms and dextrous feet, make remarkably good climbers. This being the case, on character creation they receive a +1D bonus to their climb skill.
Fierce Charge: Tu’nang Ro, when pushed to the point of anger, become fierce warriors. They are able to make good use of their weight and momentum to increase their strength and prowess when charging down an opponent. If a Tu’nang Ro moves into hand to hand combat with an opponent, for every move they make after their first they can add 1D to their strength attribute (to a maximum of 2D); e.g. a Tu’nang Ro warrior charges a Stormtrooper and has to make 2 moves to get to his enemy, thus he adds 1D to his strength attribute and related skills; if he had made 3 moves to reach his opponent the bonus would be + 2D (the maximum).
Story Factors:
Speak Basic: Tu’nang Ro do speak basic, though it is usually a heavily accented patois. An easy languages role is required for other races to understand a Tu’nang Ro speaking basic.
Racial Taboo: Tu’nang Ro have a racial taboo regarding uncovered heads. On Tu’nang, it is considered the height of rudeness for an individual to uncover their head. This being the case, all Tu’nang Ro wear some sort of headdress while in public, whether this is a bandana, hat or helmet is irrelevant, as long as the crown of the head remains covered. This is an ancient taboo and many are unsure of its origins, but some have speculated that it is a sign of their civilisation, to remove ones head gear is to revert to the primitive, base animal urges, thus, to bear one’s head towards someone implies that they are beneath you, not worthy of you attention or respect.
