DISTINCTION: Distinct juvenile and adult forms
LANGUAGE: Huhk
HOMEWORLD:Lahsbane was the homeworld of the Lahsbees, who matured into the Huhks. It had river canyons and forest knolls, which were crossed by the use of hot air balloons and gliders. A fine pollen existed on Lahsbane that had a tendency to clog the intake valves on starships, causing frustration to many spacefarers that landed on the planet.
At one point, the Hiromi failed to provoke a war between the people of Lahsbane and the Ewoks. Lahsbane was one of the first worlds to join the New Republic.
BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:Preferring a life of simple playtime, the Lahsbee were diminutive, furry felinoids who shunned technology and modern contrivances.
They also kept items that belonged to, or had a special meaning to dead Lahsbees as a tribute to their deceased friends. But this only lasted through their childhood. Upon reaching puberty and stress, the Lahsbee turned into mindless savages called Huhks. Music was the only nonviolent means of subduing a Huhk. The Huhks lived in cities, apart from the Lahsbees, because they would otherwise attack their younger cousins. Lahsbee were genetic cousins of the Dazouri, who exhibited similar polymorphic abilities.
CULTURE AND HISTORY:During the reign of the Galactic Empire, a rebel pilot crash-landed on Lahsbane, and Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C-3PO went to the planet in search of special tapes the rebel possessed. The Lahsbees kept the tapes in one of their cities, and they had to recover them from that Huhk-overrun city.
The Lahsbee were known to occasionally visit Kabray and Zeltros. The Huhk should not be confused with the Houk or the Huk.
