Society
The Lannik are known for their warrior-like society, and are seen to be fearless and sometimes hotheaded and arrogant. Most
often, Lannik keep clear heads in combat, and could deduce a solution to many dangerous situations. The Lannik are governed by
the Lannik High Court.
The Lannik homeworld was first discovered by a group of Human and Duros explorers, who brought high technology to Lannik. The
natives' exposure to this technology split Lannik society into factions, each with its own thoughts on how to integrate that
technology into their society. Conflicts raged on Lannik, forcing the intervention of several criminal groups, and finally, the
Galactic Republic itself, which restricted the amount of technology exported to the planet. This did not go as planned, serving
only to increase the amount of technology on Lannik, and also entrenched crime syndicates on the planet. This led to the rise of
the terrorist group known as the Red Iaro.
By the time of the Galactic Empire, Lannik were rarely seen offworld.
