Korunnai (Race)

General Information

The Korunnai, also called Korun, are a power-sensitive human race living on the planet Haruun Kal. This meant that every member of the Korunnai could use the Force. They were a nomadic tribe. They speak the Korunnal language. They also have a life expectancy of about 20 to 85 years. They are also on average 1.4 to 2.1 meters tall. Mace Windu, a famous Jedi during the Clone Wars, was himself a Korun. Their hair color is predominantly black, and they have brown or blue eyes and a predominantly brown skin color. Because they live near their planet's toxic sea of clouds, they are resistant to poison. Pelekotan was their name for The Force. During the Summertime War, the Balawai insultingly referred to the Korunnai as "Kornos." Each member of the Korunnai was born into clans; these clans were known as "Ghôsh". These clans are referred to as tribes or families.

History/Background Informations

Their origin is uncertain, but it is believed that they came from a crashed Jedi ship during the Sith Wars. While there is not much history, they were involved in a war known as the Summertime War, which was fought between the Korunnai and a group of settlers called the Balawai. It took place from 52 BBY to 22 BBY. This war started because of a disagreement between the two sides, as the Balawai wanted to use the jungles for crops and exports, while the Korunnai wanted to plow the jungles with "Grassers''. The Separatists supported the Balawai, which further fueled the war. This prompted Mace Windu and another Jedi Master named Depa Billaba to get involved, making the war part of the larger Clone Wars. Eventually, the Jedi alongside the Korunnai managed to drive out the Separatists and end the Summer War when Mace Windu persuaded both the Korunnai and the Balawai to form a democratic government that made peace between the two sides. The Galactic Empire began a bombardment of the planet, killing much of the population. Discovered records made by Mace Windu during his aforementioned mission to the planet were the reason for the bombardment. By 40 ABY, there were said to be at least three Korunnai: Nick Rostu, Lorz Geptune, and Kar Vastor. It is also believed that there were many Balawai survivors.

Additional Information

Mace Windu was also a Korunnai born in Ghôsh Windu. If one addressed someone from the same Ghôsh as himself, he was called a "Dôshalo". However, if one's parents were killed before one could be named after the clan itself, one became a "Nidôsh", meaning "Clankind".
