Legend

this race of humanoid beings was native to the planet Romin. Romins were distinguished by their golden skin and eyes, and their faces were dominated by their wide mouths. The nose of a Romin was flat, and barely raised up from their face. Just before the onset of the Clone Wars, the Romin population was divided into two groups. The minority group was made up of the richest Romins who supported Roy Teda and his dictatorship, turning a blind eye to the fact that criminals were making their homes on the planet. The vast majority of Romins were workers who were exiled from cities like Eliior, forced to live in decaying hovels and shacks. Many of these Romin workers died before adulthood, due to the disease and squalor that dominated their lives.
