Tusorixian

Tusorixian

Tusorixians were a near-human species native to the planet Tusorix. They were first encountered by the Emperor’s Hammer as the First Recon Division ventured into the Unknown Regions.

Biology and appearance

Tusorixians resembled humans in most aspects except for two distinct features: on average they were taller than humans, and they had two small, rounded, bony horns above their foreheads. Their skin tones were similar in range to those of humans, with the Tusorixians that lived closer to the equator having darker complexions.

Society and culture

Tusorixians were a hospitable people. Tusorix was a trading hub for other nearby systems, with a steady stream of commerce traffic coming and going. Tusorix also had a large tourism industry, with several forms of entertainment available in the large cities, while there were also several luxurious resorts along the coastlines.

They were not familiar with the Empire prior to the arrival of the First Recon Division. They were vaguely familiar with the Old Republic. In general, they did not pay much attention to the changes in the socio-military environment of the known galaxy.

EH Relations

The Tusorixians had a strong relationship with the Emperor's Hammer. The locals were welcoming and opened their planet to the First Recon Division. During the First Battle of Tusorix, EH forces defended the locals from an unknown enemy. The locals clarified that the raiders were known as the Ishtari and requested assistance from Grand Admiral Rapier. The Grand Admiral agreed, and the First Recon Division scouted the surrounding systems for the Ishtari homeworld, skirmishing with the enemy in several engagements. The EH forces returned to Tusorix to analyze their findings, only for the Ishtari to launch an all out assault. At the Second Battle of Tusorix, the First Recon Division routed the Ishtari force. After refitting the fleet and analyzing the reconnaissance data, the First Recon Division went on the assault. Pushing into Ishtari territory, the EH fleet slowly drove the enemy back to their homeworld, capturing several Ishtari-controlled planets in the process. While the First Recon Division was ultimately unsuccessful in its attempt to neutralize the homeworld, the ability of the Ishtari to continue their violent tactics was all but eliminated. Upon returning to Tusorix, the EH fleet was welcomed back as saviors and liberators.
