Srrors ' tok The Srrors ' toks were a sentient species of fur - covered , fanged , anthropomorphic felinoids native to the planet Jankok in the Bozhnee sector . They had a mostly non - technological society of hunters , characterized by their stern concept of honor and their life debts . A Srrors ' tok could be indentured to any being , which led some Srrors ' toks to leave their homeworld to travel with an alien who had saved their lives . Such was the case with Tyionsis Cex and Ahnjai Rahmma , two Srrors ' toks who served the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War . Biology and appearance . Srrors ' toks were sentient felinoids , although they had some anthropomorphic features . They were commonly 1 . 4 to 1 . 7 Imperial standard meter s tall in adulthood , standing digitigrade on the four clawed goes of each of their hind limbs . They were usually burlier than a Human of comparable height . Their long arms ended in three clawed fingers . A Srrors ' tok walked as fast as a Human . Having evolved from predatorial creatures , a Srrors ' tok had a tail and natural fangs that could be used in combat to bite an opponent . The Srrors ' tok face was relatively flat and featured two slit - pupiled eyes , a distinct triangular nose , prominent jowls from which grew whiskers , two large , triangular ears , and a mouth that featured a long , cleft upper lip into which slotted the U - shaped lower mandible . Srrors ' toks easily endured high or medium temperatures , but they were uncomfortable when naked in cold climates because they were covered with short natural fur that did not keep them warm . Their pelage was commonly golden , yellow , or gray streaked with shades of brown . Certain Srrors ' toks grew longer hair around their necks in the form of a mane ; such accouterments did not share the color of the body fur . Some Srrors ' toks developed the skill of ventriloquism , being able to generate grunts from different positions in a nearby area . The ability could be used to confuse prey , making them believe that they were surrounded by several Srrors ' toks . Society and culture . The Srrors ' toks lived in small groups that were linked by blood relations . The Srrors ' toks in each tribes bonded with one another through certain activities , such as hunting together . For the most part , Srrors ' tok culture had not adapted to advanced technology by the time of the Galactic Civil War , although some individuals used blasters . Knowing that they were susceptible to cold weather , Srrors ' toks commonly wore warm clothes when visiting inclement areas . Some pierced their ears . Otherwise , Srrors ' toks chose to avoid clothes and wore only bags to carry tools . The language of this species , known as Hras ' kkk ' rarr , used the sounds that they could produce naturally and easily — namely growls , grunts , and clicks — combined in an intricate and elaborate way . To fully communicate concepts , Hras ' kkk ' rarr also used non - verbal communication , including body poses and gestures . Baring of fangs was thought by some to be the Srrors ' tok equivalent of a smile . Communication with aliens was not easy for the Srrors ' toks , as their mouths had not evolved to pronounce Galactic Basic Standard with ease . The Srrors ' toks only attempted to say complex words in Basic if they knew the listener was already familiar with Basic spoken with the Srrors ' tok dialect . Honor concept . An unsparing concept of honor was the basis of Srrors ' tok society . A member of the species could never betray any of his or her friends or any other Srrors ' toks . Nor could a Srrors ' tok abandon any of those people to their fate . Some Srrors ' toks were unable to even conceive the abstract idea of doing so . An important part of this honor - bonded social structure was the Srrors ' tok tradition of life debts , which was in many senses similar to that of the Wookiees . If a Srrors ' tok ' s life was saved by another person , the Srrors ' tok was obligated to pledge their life to serve the savior , sometimes as a bodyguard . The life - debt only ended when either of the parties died . If the Srrors ' tok was unable to fulfill the life - debt — either by choice or , more commonly , by impossibility — the Srrors ' tok was considered dishonored and was supposed to commit suicide as a punishment for the failure . Srrors ' toks sometimes contracted a life - debt with a dishonorable person , an event that most Srrors ' toks loathed ; but , even in these cases , the Srrors ' toks felt compelled to do their best to protect the individual . Sometimes , a Srrors ' tok contracted two simultaneous life - debts , and in some cases the beneficiaries happened to be enemies of each other . In such a case , the Srrors ' tok could decide to either consider the older life - debt to be canceled or to consider " both " life - debts to be canceled . However , Srrors ' toks believed that contracting a second life - debt on purpose was a great shame , speculating that , should such be allowed , their society would became a labyrinth of interwoven life - debts leading to the end of their culture as they knew it . History . The Srrors ' toks evolved on the planet Jankok , located in the Bozhnee sector of the Outer Rim Territories . By the time of the Galactic Empire , Jankok had been discovered by the galactic community . However , as the rainforest world had few resources of interest , it was only rarely visited . Extraplanetary arrivals commonly included scouts and some merchants , who occasionally attempted to make deals with the native Srrors ' toks . Due to that lack of interest , Jankok had no spaceport . Srrors ' toks in the galaxy . Very few Srrors ' toks ever left Jankok — partially because they had little chance to do so due to the light traffic to their native planet . Nonetheless , Srrors ' tok itinerant traders were not unheard of , and a number of Srrors ' tok families settled on planets other than Jankok , such as Sellasas . Certain Srrors ' toks traveled through the galaxy as a consequence of having a life - debt with a highly mobile individual . The Srrors ' tok Ahnjai Rahmma contracted a life - debt with High Inquisitor Antinnis Tremayne and became Tremayne ' s bodyguard , buffoon , and occasional assassin . A Srrors ' tok with a life - debt might travel either in the company of that Srrors ' tok savior or alone if the Srrors ' tok could better serve the savior ' s interests by not being in the individual ' s presence . The Srrors ' tok Tyionsis Cex , born into a family of traders on Sellasas , lost his relatives during a raid of the Rebel Alliance mostly directed against the local Imperial presence . Cex ' s life was then saved by Imperial commander Amara Jedselk and , due to his resulting life - debt to Jedselk , Cex eventually became an almost - independent bounty hunter , accepting works for the Empire and seeing Jedselk only infrequently . Cex was once mocked by Imperial bureaucrat Matagorn as a lackey of Tremayne ; shortly after Matagorn vanished with pieces of his body appearing in Gevis City and Verdson . Behind the scenes . The Srrors ' toks first appeared in the 1993 roleplaying game book " , " by Simon Smith and Eric S . Trautmann , in which the species was exemplified by the character of Ahnjai Rahmma . The illustration of a Srrors ' tok that accompanied the game text was drawn by Mike Vilardi . The following year a new Srrors ' tok , Tyionsis Cex , was mentioned in " " . The species was further developed in another roleplaying game book , " Alien Encounters " , published in 1998 .
