The P'w'ecks were a warm-blooded, saurian species similar in appearance to the Ssi-ruuk from the tropical planet of Lwhekk in the Ssi-ruuk Star Cluster deep in the Unknown Regions. They were regarded as inferior by the larger Ssi-ruuk who utilized them as slaves.
Biology and appearance
Despite their similarities to the Ssi-ruuk, they were distinguished from their masters by their allegedly lower intelligence, smaller size, three-lidded eyes, short tails and drooping eyes.[1] Like their Ssi-ruuvi masters, the P'w'ecks were physiologically unable to speak Galactic Basic Standard and also spoke Ssi-ruuvi.[2]
Society and culture
The Ssi-ruuvi Imperium dominated the P'w'ecks for thousands of years; enslaving and controlling their lives. The Ssi-ruuk considered P'w'ecks extremely expendable; using them as slaves, guards, ship crews and beasts of burden to perform the lowest jobs in society.[1]
At the standard age of 15 years, P'w'ecks were enteched by their Ssi-ruuvi masters which involved electronically transferring the life-energy of a person into a power source for a mechanical construct such as a battle droid.[1]
This unequal treatment of the P'w'ecks by the Ssi-ruuk was justified by Ssi-ruuvi religion especially its sacred text—the G'nnoch. According to the G'nnoch, four eggs were formed at the creation of the universe. From the first egg, hatched the legendary Ssi and P'w'itthki. Ssi's children hatched from the second egg, while P'w'itthki's children hatched from the third egg. The fourth egg was reserved for those Ssi-ruuk who earned a place in the afterlife. Eventually, Ssi fought with P'w'itthki and defeated him. After his defeat, Ssi allowed P'w'itthki's hatchlings to live on the condition of serving the children of Ssi for all eternity. This myth described the beginning of the relationship between the Ssi-ruuk (hatchlings of Ssi) and the P'w'ecks (hatchlings of P'w'itthki) and the Ssi-ruuk's divine supremacy over all other sentient species.[1]
History
The P'w'ecks and their Ssi-ruuvi masters were first officially observed by the known galaxy during an attack on the remote Outer Rim world of Bakura in 4 ABY.[2]
