The Torine people, a Near-Human species, originated on the planet Torina. Their primary focus was the conservation of their homeworld's natural environment. Furthermore, they operated a successful tourism sector on their planet, featuring establishments like hotels, bars, and casinos, and were well-known for their electronic goods production. Their affluence, whether a cause or a consequence, led to a fear of subjugation by the Galactic Empire. As a result, the Rebel Alliance tried to gain the support of the Torine.
