Muun

The Muunilinstians were a race of tall, thin, humanoids native to the planet Muunilinst. Their skulls were elongated and thin, with a tall brain cavity and drooping cheekbones. Their large hands were tipped with equally long fingers. The skin of the average Muunilinstian was a pasty-white color, the result of living indoors and underground for much of their lives. A Muunilinstian's internal organs were perhaps most noted for the fact that each Muunilinstian were tricardial (meaning three hearts). Although Muunilinstians often traveled away from their homeworld, such trips were quite short, as many Muuns became homesick if away from Muunilinst for too long. As a people, the Muunilinstians were noted for their ability to calculate compelx mathematical data without the use of a computer. Muunilinstian children were at least as mathematically competent as the smartest human. Muunilinstians were also incredibly greedy beings who saw a other beings as hotheaded and impulsive, and looked to take whatever advantages their could with other races. Muunilinstian society was controlled by the most prominent of clans, and only those members of the most powerful clans ever left the surface of Muunilinst.

Despite their support for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, the Muunilinstians were both tolerated and respected by the Galactic Empire, which needed their financial acumen and access to the enormous wealth that the Muunilinstians maintained on Munnilinst. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, a large portion of the Muun population was exterminated when the alien invaders destroyed Muunilinst in a planetary bombardment. Only those individuals who were off-planet at the time survived.
