Ming Po/Legends

The Ming Po were a species native to the planet Carlac.
==Biology and appearance==
Ming Po shared many physical traits with baseline Humans, sharing the same facial structure and features, as well as having two legs, and two arms with five-fingered hands. They were shorter than their human counterparts however.
==Society and culture==
The Ming Po were a peaceful and easily trusting people. They lived in simple villages on their snow-covered homeworld. Despite this, there was at least one unidentified Ming Po who left the planet for a much more different life, working for the Frangawl Cult, overseeing the would-be attempted execution of Queen Julia of Bardotta before their plans were thwarted by Jedi Master, Mace Windu.
==History==
Around 21 BBY, during the Clone Wars, Pre Vizsla and his marauding Death Watch soldiers chose Carlac as their base of operations. They set up a rudimentary tent camp near a Ming Po town overseen by Chieftain Pieter. The Mandalorians raided the town for supplies, subjugated the townspeople and kidnapped the women of the town, including the chieftain's granddaughter, Tryla, to be servants in their camp.
After the arrival of Lux Bonteri and Ahsoka Tano to deliver a transmission chip to the Death Watch in order to kill Dooku, Pieter arrived in the Death Watch's camp to voice his complaints with their dealings prior and demanded them to release their women the following morning. After Pre Vizsla agreed to these terms, Pieter left. Death Watch honored their deal and came to the town to release the Ming Po women, only for Pre Vizsla to immediately kill the women and order for his men to destroy the town and proceeded to burn it to the ground, saying 'Welcome to Death Watch' to Lux Bonteri as it happened. The assault on the town was cut-short by Ahsoka who revealed herself to Death Watch as a Jedi.
Despite Ahsoka's intervention, after her and Lux Bonteri's escape from the planet, the Ming Po were harassed by Death Watch later on. When the 104th Battalion and a unnamed Jedi Knight arrived on Carlac to deal with the remaining battle-droids from a shot down munificent frigate from an earlier battle, Death Watch threatened the lives of a handful of Ming Po people if they did not leave the planet. It wouldn't be until after Pre Vizsla's defeat at the hands of the Jedi Knight and consequently retreat that the Ming Po would be finally be left alone from Death Watch and the Clone Wars. There were at least two villages burnt down by Death Watch.
