The Romin hailed from the planet Romin and were divided into two classes. The ruling class was the minority of Romin who had wealth and status. The majority of the Romin were of the working class who lived in poverty and took up homes in vast shanty towns that were set up outside the richer cities. The rampant disease and decay that dominated the ghettos of Romin gave the working class a much shorter lifespan, with many of their children not reaching their second birthdays.
The Romin were ruled by a single dictator who went by the title of Great Leader. The Great Leader during the final days of the Republic before the Clone Wars was Roy Teda, who became infamous for hiding galactic criminals on the planet for substantial bribes collected by his "charity" deputy.
