Overview Sullustans are jowled, mouse-eared humanoids with large, round eyes. Standing one to nearly two meters tall, Sullustans live in vast subterranean caverns beneath the surface of their harsh world. Sullust is a volcanic planet with an inhospitable atmosphere consisting of thick billowing clouds of hot, noxious air. The cooler, humid caves make a comfortable environment for the Sullustan people. Sullust's surface can be braved only for short periods of time by the tiny, underground-dwelling people, but there are some non-intelligent and often extremely dangerous life forms on the surface. Other species must wear protective apparatus, and even the Sullustans don the gear for extended excursions. A surprisingly wide variety of life dwells on the shores of the underground lakes, beside the oceans of steaming lava, and even in the caverns inhabited by the Sullustans. Most of this wildlife is harmless and serves as a source of food and clothing. The few predators that wander the planet's surface rarely venture underground. Sullustans speak a chattering language and their large, luminous eyes are well adapted to the nocturnal caverns of their homeworld; their oversized ears make them sensitive to even the slightest sounds. They possess an enhanced sense of direction, so once a Sullustan travels a path or examines a map, that route becomes ingrained in his memory. Without this natural ability, the Sullustans could not dwell in the labyrinthine passages beneath their homeworld. This skill has also allowed them to become adept pilots and navigators in space. The people of Sullust have expanded and adapted their natural caverns into beautiful underground cities. Many visitors come to walk the cobbled streets and sample wares available only in the subterranean markets. Sullust is also home to the SoroSuub Corporation, a leading military contractor with infrastructure throughout the galaxy. Almost 50% of the Sullustan population owe their livelihood to SoroSuub. The species has a sense of humor and outlook on life that is far different from what one would expect of a people living in dark caves. They are cheerful, pleasant, and fond of practical jokes.
