-Luke Skywalker

The Ysanna are a tribe of Force sensitive Humans who live on Ossus.

History:
Born from the survivors of the Cron Supernova's effect on Ossus, the Ysanna survived through sheer mettle and the luck bestowed to them by their Jedi bloodline, on a devastated planet with a caustic atmosphere, full of electrical storms, and the danger of fierce predators. They eked out a simple existence as hunters and gatherers, while remaining aware of the ancient task bestowed upon them by their ancestors - to protect the secrets of the Jedi.

Society and Culture:
Their Jedi heritage of knowledge and wisdom lost through generations of hardship and ignorance, the Ysanna degenerated into superstition. Their use of the Force diminished to nothing but simple tricks performed by unintelligible wizards, know to them as Ysanna magic. Their superstition built upon the remaining Jedi and Sith artifacts left on the world from its speedy evacuation. The Ysanna wizards used various Sith masks in battle to intimidate their enemies, and when protecting the Jedi ruins from trespassers, graverobbers, tomb raiders, or anybody that would walk on their sacred ground. They had a polytheistic religion.

Despite their drastically lessened knowledge of the Force, the Ysanna managed to preserve some Force techniques that were lost to the Jedi Order over the millennia, including the ability to form Force Ghosts.

Unique use of Weapons:
Armed with elementary slug throwers that they augmented with the Force, the tribespeople defended themselves from the varied creatures of Ossus and ultimately become as fierce as their predators. Eventually, these creatures would become the domesticated mounts of the Ysanna when they went into battle and traversed their world.

Special Abilities:
Acute Senses: Because of their acute senses, Ysanna nomads gain a permanent +2 pip bonus to all search skill rolls.
Desert Nomads: Ysanna gain a +1D bonus to all survival skill rolls made when in a desert environment.
Force-Sensitive: Many Ysanna are born with a natural sensitivity to the Force.

Story Factors:
Jedi-Influenced Culture: The Ysanna have preserved elements of Jedi beliefs in their culture.
