Jarell Jarells were a humanoid reptiloid species native to the planet Oon Tien in the Kathol sector . They developed a primitive society on their homeworld , organized into matriarchal city - states , before contact with colony ships from the Galactic Republic approximately three centuries prior to the Battle of Endor . Jarells were a historically violent species ; the various monarchies that ruled Jarell society forced their own young into periods of indentured servitude in exchange for weapons and technology . Since their discovery by the Republic , Jarells migrated to several other planets in the Kathol sector and were often found serving private citizens , corporations , and criminal organizations as hired muscle . Biology and appearance . Jarells were a large humanoid reptiloid species who possessed great strength . Jarells had mottled skin , which was predominantly purple and white , but included blue patches on the arms and forehead . They had wide skulls with four bony cranial ridges that were present on their heads , starting at the brow and running over the scalp to the nape , from which short spikes protruded . Jarells possessed red eyes . Instead of a mouth , Jarells had a mass of thick tendrils that covered the lower portion of their face . Several small bony growths sprouted on their elbows , and their fingers terminated in sharp claws . Society and culture . Jarells were a society ruled by monarchies , divided into various city - states across their homeworld of Oon Tien . A historically violent species , Jarells were considered to be dim - witted by other beings . However , Jarells were actually a creative and perceptive species , with excellent memories and a tradition of oral storytelling . They spoke Jarellian , a language that had several different dialects , but no written form . Following contact with the outside galaxy , many of the planet ' s monarchies made arrangements for young Jarells to serve periods of indentured servitude to corporations , private citizens , criminal organizations , and even Imperial governors as hired muscle and general servants . The length of service was usually between seven and eleven years , and while it was essentially slavery , young Jarells were socialized to accept it as a natural period of their lives . They saw it as a period of maturation , symbolizing their transition from child to adult . While few Jarells actually ever profited from the arrangement , they hoped that their servitude would introduce them to beings who could make them powerful , or help them acquire wealth . As a result , young Jarells on the cusp of their service looked forward to the time with excitement and purpose . While generally loyal to their employers , some Jarells were willing to undermine them if it would benefit them to do so . History . Jarells originated on the planet Oon Tien in the Kathol sector . The species lived in monarchic city - states and had a knowledge of basic metal - working when they were first contacted by colony ships from the Galactic Republic approximately three hundred years before the Battle of Endor . The Human settlers subsequently established several settlements on Oon Tien , and lived side - by - side with their Jarell neighbors . Although technologically primitive , the Jarell monarchies began trading gemstones and periods of indentured servitude from their young in exchange for weapons and other high - technology items with the Humans . The weapons were used by the monarchies in a series of armed conflicts and revolutions that changed Jarell society , although the fighting never spread to any of the Human settlements on the planet . Following contact with the Republic , Oon Tien became a vital part of the Kathol sector , with manufacturing and agriculture being important parts of its industry . Jarells settled on other worlds in the Kathol sector , including Kolatill , Pembric II , and Corjain . Jarells in the galaxy . Jarells were found in the Kathol sector , usually engaged in their period of indentured servitude to whomever had contracted their services . These jobs took advantage of the Jarells ' strength and historically violent nature . Behind the scenes . The Jarell were created for " The DarkStryder Campaign " , a supplement for " " by West End Games published in 1995 .
