Description:
The Jarell hailed from the planet Oon Tien in the Kathol Sector. They developed a primitive society on their homeworld, organized
into matriarchal city-states. They also had knowledge of agricultural and basic metal-working when they were discovered by
Galactic Republic colony ships three centuries prior to the Battle of Endor. As a species, they are historically violent, and
gravitated towards employment that required violence.
History:
First contact
When first contact was made with the Jarells, the Human settlers traded high technology and weapons for precious gemstones and
indentured servitude of the Jarell young. The weapons were used to fuel revolution and armed conflict, although the violence never
spread to the Human settlements.
Jarell in the Galaxy
As the Jarells integrated themselves into the Kathol Sector, many of their young were sold into indentured servitude, serving as
hired muscle for crimelords, Imperial governors, private concerns and wealthy citizens. Lasting between seven and eleven years,
many Jarell saw their servitude as a rite of passage that marked their transition from adolescent to adult and were actually eager
to serve. As a result, the Jarell spread throughout the Kathol Sector, and could be found on many planets within the sector.
Traits
Jarells Are seen as violent and dull-witted by many people. In fact, the Jarell are intelligent, with a wide range of knowledge,
creativity, and rich oral storytelling traditions. They have no written language. Jarells are also strong and perceptive.
Homeworld:
Oon Tien is a planet in the Kathol Sector, and is the homeworld of the Jarell species.
Development and Settlement
A wet and mountainous world, the native Jarells had developed a primitive society when Republic colony ships discovered the
system in 292 BBY. The Humans settled on the planet, trading weapons and high technology with the natives for precious gemstones
and periods of indentured servitude from their young. The weapons assisted in numerous internal struggles and revolutions, but
never threatened the Human settlements.
For several decades before the Battle of Yavin, Oon Tien became more integrated into the Kathol Sector. Agriculture was already a
major industry, but several large manufacturing complexes were established on the planet.
Galactic Empire
Under the Empire, Governor Manon Flint commanded the system. When Moff Kentor Sarne took control of the Kathol Sector, he
established three orbiting stardocks in the system, each capable of servicing and repairing capital ships up to 300 meters long.
The docks were the main maintenance facilities for Sarne's forces in the sector, and the system was protected by at least two
dozen IPV-1 system patrol ships, a full wing of TIE fighters, and hundreds of proton mines.
