Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Core Rulebook
Gamorreans are green-skinned, porcine creatures native to Gamorr. Their tendency toward violence makes them valued as criminal enforcers; though viewed as mindless brutes, they don't care so long as they are paid to fight.
Gamorrean civilization revolves around the never-ending wars between their clans. Preferring large melee weapon in combat, many see ranged weapons as cowardly. Males live to fight; females farm, hunt, and manufacture weapons. Inter-clan hatred rarely fades, and anyone hiring Gamorreans should be aware of their clans to avoid infighting.
Gamorrean Characteristics[]
Personality: Gamorreans are brutish, violent, and proud. They respect physical prowess and have no problem facing death against a foe they feel they are on at least equal footing with.
