Kharsiyans

Kharsiyans are a fictional sentient species appearing in the Star Wars universe. They are primarily known from the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Kharsiyans are a mammalian species characterized by their grey fur and elongated snouts, resembling a canine or fox-like appearance. They possess large, dark eyes and expressive ears, which are capable of independent movement, often conveying emotion or alertness.

The Kharsiyan homeworld is not explicitly detailed, but their culture is depicted as being somewhat tribal and deeply connected to their natural environment. They are generally portrayed as pragmatic and resilient, with a strong sense of community. While not overtly aggressive, Kharsiyans are capable warriors when provoked, and their physical attributes allow them to be agile and resourceful in combat.

In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Kharsiyans are encountered on the planet Taris. They are often seen as laborers or members of less affluent segments of society within the sprawling city-planet. Some Kharsiyans have also integrated into other galactic societies, though their distinct appearance often makes them stand out. Their technological development appears to be on par with many other species within the Republic era, though they are not typically depicted as leaders in galactic affairs. Their role in the narrative often serves to flesh out the diverse populations of the Star Wars galaxy.
