HOMEWORLD:Gargolyn IV was a planet known to be a garden paradise that was lush with animal life and vegetation.
It was the homeworld of the Cor race. The land of the Cors was guarded by a huge beast that destroyed any settlement the scouting Karflo Corporation initiated.
BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:The Cor were a sentient species of felines. They were small in stature, growing to about one meter in height. They had a long, thin tail, and four limbs that each ended in five sharp claws. Each Cor had a tapered snout and long pointed ears. They were covered in fur except for their tail, which appeared bald.
CULTURE AND HISTORY:The Cor were a primitive people. They had traditional tribal lands in which they lived together in villages. Their homeworld, Gargolyn IV, had no native predators, and the Cor themselves were a non-violent people, preferring to use peaceful protest, exemplified when the Karflo Corporation tried to forcibly relocate one group from their village.
Although unaware of the existence of the Force, members of the species were in fact Force-sensitive and attuned to the light side of the Force. They had shamans who utilized this affinity.
The Cor evolved on Gargolyn IV, a planet located in Wild Space, where they achieved sentience and created a primitive society. In the dim past, one particular Cor tribe was frequently attacked by a monster that killed many who tried to stop it. Eventually, a shaman managed to subdue the beast, binding it to the land. A legend developed that so long as the shaman's people lived on that spot, the beast would remain bound and captive.
Some time later, the planet was scouted by the Karflo Corporation, who decided to establish a colony on Gargolyn IV. They sought settlers to built a temporary spaceport and provide other aid to the project. Karflo also wanted to build a manufacturing facility on Gargolyn, with a Cor village chosen as the ideal site for the construction. This necessitated relocating the Cor tribe, which refused to budge. Karflo authorized force to move them, despite legends warning against any such relocation.
A day after the tribe's eviction, a significant explosion erupted at the factory site, and a gigantic beast emerged. It utterly destroyed any settlement Karflo tried to build there. The settlers were forced to venture into Gargolyn's jungles to track down the displaced Cor tribe and return them to their ancestral lands; only in this manner, was the beast able to be subdued.
