Gormak Shamans
All Gormak possess a natural affinity for technology, but those who are particularly adept often assume the role of shaman--a position of great respect and responsibility within each tribe. Like their kin, the shamans are fierce warriors driven by the desire to purge their homeworld of both the Voss and outsiders, and much of their knowledge and expertise is focused on devising better ways to kill the enemies of the tribe.

Other Gormak also look to these techno-priests for leadership and guidance--not just in matters of technology, but in their daily lives. In return, a shaman works tirelessly to maximize the value of any and all equipment collected by the tribe, transforming broken junk into tools and machinery to improve the quality of life for the entire group.

Mystics
No Voss are more revered than the Force-sensitive Mystics. Individuals with extraordinary gifts of healing and prophecy, Mystics most often live in seclusion, using their talents to guide their people.

Mystic visionaries experience prophetic visions, which are carefully studied by interpreters at the Tower of Prophecy before being passed on to the ruling Three; it is said that no Mystic's vision has failed to come true, giving immense weight to any statement by a Mystic visionary. At the Shrine of Healing, Mystic healers use intense meditation and rituals to cure their patients, often of ailments that resist any other treatment.

Becoming a Mystic is a difficult path. After years of training, the most promising potential Mystics go on a pilgrimage across Voss, visiting holy sites in the dangerous Gormak lands and learning from their elders. Even then, not all potentials succeed. The very few who come into their full power as Mystics return triumphantly to Voss-Ka to be recognized by the Three.

Shrine Restoration Initiative
Outspoken Voss administrator Alben-Bal proposed a plan to rebuild the many shrines that had been damaged by the Eternal Empire's invading forces. The program he imagined, which required an equal partnership with the Gormak, was initially rejected by Voss leadership. At great personal risk, Alben-Bal hand-delivered the proposal to the Gormak leader, Kijak, whose people also suffered heavily during the Eternal Empire's assault. Kijak respected the courage shown by the Voss and was ultimately convinced to set traditional animosity aside in favor of cooperation.

The Shrine Restoration Initiative's founding agreement was contingent upon the Gormak determining the priority of the shrines that would be rebuilt, which allowed them to set their displaced people to work alongside Voss architects and engineers. This key condition was instrumental in bringing a large portion of Gormak into the agreement, not only increasing necessary resources and expertise, but joining a large population of Voss and Gormak and aiming them towards a common goal.

While the group's primary focus is on rebuilding shrines, the Shrine Restoration Initiative has also paved the way for additional public works projects, including expansion of power and water grids, converting temporary housing into permanent dwellings, and compiling a joint archive that preserves damaged records and important historical documents.

Voss Commandos
There is no real distinction between the Voss people and their armed forces. As the Voss are a small, isolated population surrounded by millions of belligerent Gormak, a term of military service as a Voss commando is mandatory for all adults. The commandos defend Voss-Ka and its people against the endless Gormak hordes and act as the city's arbiters for minor disputes. Some Voss commandos choose to continue their service once their terms are over, ascending to the rank of officer.

The simple fact of the Voss's survival in the face of overwhelming Gormak numbers and hostility speaks to the skill of the Voss commandos. They are expert hand-to-hand combatants and peerless scouts, and because every Voss serves, every Voss adult is trained in self-defense. Having seen the Gormak menace firsthand, all adult Voss also understand and accept the sacrifices necessary for their society to survive.

Related planet:	Voss Voss was first discovered only a few years ago, and the rocky, lightly forested planet remains absent from many star charts. Two distinct cultures inhabit the world, both at a pre-spaceflight stage of development. The first culture, known as the Gormak, is a xenophobic and violent species that dominates most of the planet surface. The second culture, known as the Voss, has been amenable to contact with outsiders and welcomes visitors to the mountain city of Voss-Ka. The Voss have a highly ritualistic society and are notable for their unusual aptitude with the Force. The Republic and the Empire have sent representatives to Voss-Ka to explore the possibility of an alliance. Category: Planets FQN: cdx.planets.voss Voss
