The Tsinimals constituted a species of alien origin. The planet Langhesa fell under their control in 129 BBY, and the indigenous [Langhesi] were subjected to enslavement due to the Tsinimals' perception of their biotechnology as an affront to their deities. This event triggered a substantial exodus of Langhesi individuals to various regions across the galaxy. Yet, their deities did not disapprove of piracy and warfare. Accounts depict the Tsinimals as both "graceful and intolerant."
