Before 20 BBY, Palleus Chuff, a holovid performer, took on the role of portraying Tholians, among numerous other species. It's a mystery why, but the actor appeared to value his time playing the species. Details surrounding the Tholians, encompassing their cultural practices and physical appearance, remain scarce. Given Chuff's lack of height, it's plausible that the Tholians were a race of short beings, assuming Chuff's portrayal was accurate. It is believed their place of origin was the Tholian system, situated within the Meram sector of the Outer Rim Territories.
