Average Lifespan: 90 years
 
Extremely tall and almost completely covered in thick, shaggy white fur, Talz are a physically formidable species. They are resilient to damage, as their heavy fur and thick blubber serve almost as well as a natural blast armor. The only places on their body which are not covered in fur, are their faces, which sport a double pair of round black eyes and a tiny nozzle-shaped mouth, and their hands and feet, which each have three massive, sharp claws. The skin-color of these exposed regions is most often a bluish-grey, but tones of brown have also been seen.
 
Alcoz III was once the homeworld of a thriving Talz society, but this is no longer the case. The world, located in a thin band of stars near the Thyferra system, was over-mined long ago, and now only a stubborn band of Talz traditionalists remain, sitting in their ice palaces and predicting the years until the galaxy will implode.
 
Most Talz found this turn in their civilization somewhat depressing, and opted for migration. Some have become Republic citizens, and many more have made businesses for themselves along the Outer Rim. But the Talz species is always caught between its instincts, which pull them to the solitary wilds of the galaxy and moribund thoughts, and its social nature, which begs for and deals quite well with loyal friendships.
