Legend

a race of elephant-like humanoids from the planet Vinsoth, the Chevin were an aggressive people. They have long heads which sit at the end of a thick neck that curves downward, allowing them to forage for food without having to bend over. Some have large facial tusks which impede their vocal abilities. Chevin have thick, grey skin that allows them to tolerate a wide range of temperatures. They are adroit hunters, working in teams to corner their prey. They have dominated the planet Vinsoth, and have enslaved the Chevs. Many Chevin villages wander across the surface of the planet, migrating with the seasons to maintain food supplies and avoiding harsh weather. The Chevin leadership supported the New Order during the reign of Emperor Palpatine.
