The Koorivar
« on: January 14, 2010, 08:21:26 AM »
INFO: Notable Koorivar included Corporate Alliance Magistrate Passel Argente, Denaria Kee, and General Oro Dassyne.


RACE: Koorivar
HEIGHT: 1.9 Meters Tall
SKIN: Dark green, black (males); Magenta, mauve (females)
DISTINCTION: Cranial horns, scaly reptilian skin
LANGUAGE: Koorivar

HOMEWORLD:
Kooriva was the homeworld of Separatist leader Passel Argente and the adopted homeworld of his species, the Koorivar. It was located in the Inner Rim Territories.

The Koorivar settled on Kooriva in 5,032 BBY, but were ousted by an indigenous species in 2,032 BBY. The Koorivar won back control of the planet in 1,532 BBY. The planet was part of the Corporate Alliance and represented in the Galactic Senate by Passel Argente. During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic forces, led by Commander Cody, retook the world from the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The planet was part of both the New Republic and Galactic Alliance. The Galactic Alliance Committee on Corporate Oversight regarded the Koorivar with suspicion and kept a wary eye on them.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:
The Koorivar were a species of humanoids with reptilian characteristics, including scales, reptilian skin that varied in many colors ranging from magenta to mauve and from dark green to black, and a gracile cranial horn that symbolized status in their society.

CULTURE AND HISTORY:
They resided on the world of Kooriva in the Inner Rim, though they were not indigenous to the planet. They may have originated on Murkhana, one of the Corporate Alliance's main centers of business. They also had colonies on other planets, such as Bomis Koori IV.

During the Clone Wars, the Koorivar were one of the species primarily associated with the Confederacy of Independent Systems and therefore were deported from and prevented from entering Coruscant. However, this did not stop some of them from remaining on-planet.
