Homeworld: Zilkin never talk about their homeworld (Zilkis or Zilka ?), fearing that their size will make it an easy target. So very few people know how it is called and where it is located.

Adventurers: There are Zilkins of all kinds and Force users are no more common among them than in other species. They adapt to all classes but because of their diminutive size they make very effective Scoundrels.
