Gigoran

Gigorans were a species of furry giants, in many ways similar to the Wookiees. They had fur ranging in color from white to grey or light brown. They could learn to understand other languages, but could not themselves speak Galactic Basic. In order to communicate with species that did not speak their language, Gigorans often wore translating vocoders on their mouths to speak other languages besides Gigoran.

They evolved from cave-dwelling primates and lived in hunter-gatherer home-clans, divided into smaller family groups. While they were fairly intelligent, they had only achieved stone-age levels of technology.

Gigorans were very family-oriented and would readily sacrifice their own lives for their friends and family. Despite their appearance and strength, they were normally peaceful and docile in their native environment. However, if necessary, they could be quite dangerous fighters.

Gigorans were an able-bodied species, valued as slaves and exploited for their strength in the Mytaranor Sector; due to this, slavers captured them and sold them at good prices. The Mytaranor Slaving Council resorted to using bounty hunters to capture Gigorans if needed.
