Background: Talpini were a sentient species native to Tal Pi. Weeteef Cyu-Bee, a member of the Partisans, was a member of this species. The Talpini were a sentient species of diminutive humanoids native to Tal Pi located in the Outer Rim. Talpini possessed a coat of fur and a downturned mouth with at least one row of sharp teeth. Talpini could have brown, orange, pink, tan, or lightly colored skin and had black, brown, gray, orange, or white colored hair. The Talpini’s small size let them conceal themselves easily among taller beings.
Zeetar was a Talpini who lived during the High Republic Era. As a member of the Nihil, Zeetar was one of the three Tempest Runners and created several inventions such as the Scav droids and a powersuit to stand at equal footing with Pan Eyta.
Weeteef Cyu-Bee, a male Talpini, served as one of the most destructive members of the Partisans, led by Saw Gerrera. Cyu-Bee contributed with the Partisans in an extended campaign against the Imperial occupation of Jedha.
“Steely Carl,” a male Talpini, worked as a guard for Oga Garra on the planet Batuu.
