Legend

a race of humanoid reptiles living on Endor, the Marauders were descended from Sanyassan ancestors who were stranded on the moon several centuries before the Battle of Yavin. They had a fortress hidden in the rocky wastes of the moon, and were trapped there for a number of years. They evolved into a vicious race, often waylaying visitors to the planet and stealing their technology. They obtained a number of laser weapons in this manner, and sustained themselves by eating the beings they ensnare. Like the Sanyassans, the Marauders had strange, simian faces, scaled skin, and sparse tufts of hair. They had three fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand. They wore makeshift armor created from the scraps they scavenge. The strongest Marauder was declared the King. Terak was the Marauder King when Noa and Salek crashed on Endor, as well as when the Towani family landed on the moon. Terak was obsessed with finding "The Power," which he hoped would allow the Marauders to conquer more than just the simple life forms of Endor.
