Legend

native to the planet Kooriva, this humanoid, alien race was characterized by the twisted horn which emerged from atop theior skulls. The horn of the male Koorivan, distinguished by their green skintone, was robust and thick. The female, with purplish skin, had a more graceful horn. The Koorivans were driven from their homeworld some 2,000 years before the Battle of Geonosis, when the Old Republic ceded the planet to another race as part of the resolution of a political situation. For more than a millennia, the Koorivans formed themselves into merchant clans, traveling the galaxy and earning enough credits to mount a legal action to repeal the Republic's decision. The appeal eventually succeeded, but the Koorivans never forgave the Republic.
