Wookies

Wookies, a race of fur-covered humanoids with grey or brown hair, are native to the planet Kashyyyk. They are bigger and stronger than Humans and about the equal of Neosapiens in strength and size. They can live to be about 600 Earth years old. The Wookies were introduced to interstellar space in 2017 A.D. when Kahyyyk was discovered by the Klingon Empire. The humans and True Klingons of this Empire helped the Wookies advance themselves technologically, and in military conflicts between the Klingons and the Romulan Star Empire, Cylon Empire, and other military foes the Wookies proved themselves as fierce soldiers and loyal subjects of the Klingon Empire. The homeworld of Kashyyyk as of the Era of 3050-3100 A.D. has continued to remain part of Klingon space, although a sizable minority of Wookies ended up as employees of the Russo-American Mercantile (RAM), business interests of the Ferengi Alliance, or clans in Hutt Space or joined Space pirates or more rarely became subjects of the Earth Alliance, other human-dominated societies, the Neosapien Commonwealth, or the Narn Regime. Traditional Wookie religion centers on the worship or simple invocation of native Kashyyyk spirits and nature deities, although the Cult of the Allspark and the Universal Church of the Celestial Sun have made many converts among this race. The worship of traditional Quo'nos deities and the legendary founder of the Klingon Empire Kahless have also made certain inroads among Wookies.
