Kentra


Culture and society


The Kentra lived in villages among the branches of the colossal buntra trees consisting primarily of wooden houses. However, some larger cities, like Kariish were built into mountain ridges.

The Kentra had a social structure which was based on nests, family and village folk. Nests were organized into regional clans and racial flocks. Major cities had lords who were placed in a notional council that aided the king of the Kentra in ruling the planet.

Kentra soldiers


The Kentra were a warrior people. Soldiers were selected and trained at an early age. They were taught to be honorable and to use their skills to the benefit of the nest and not for the individual. Soldiers who violated the code of honor were dismissed and banished. Kentra soldiers would typically carry primitive melee weapons such as knives and swords, but were also proficient in bow and arrows.

Bas'c and the Prophet Tandra


The Kedra spoke a variant of Basic that they called "bas'c". Their religion was the Holy Order of the Je'ulajists and they worshiped the prophet Tandre.

Tandre was in reality a Jedi Knight who crash-landed on Orellon II in the Alpha Kentrum centuries before the Galactic Civil War and became the spiritual leader of the Kentra, teaching them the ways of the Jedi. After his death, he left computer programs to guide the Kentra.
