- Organization Symbol:
- Description: Clan Hoole is a Shi'ido family which gained prominence within the last few centuries. They can trace their lineage back to the famous anthropologist Mammon Hoole, as well as the esteemed Jedi Master Tammuz Hoole. The family has consistently produced scientists and scholars, along with handful of Force Users.
- Headquarters: Lao-mon (formerly) | Erakhis | Alderaan
- Domain:
- House of Hoole - Formerly the private residence of Tammuz and Lilith Hoole, and the childhood home of their offspring. Located in the outskirts of the planetary capital of Goshen, the jungle mansion was built by Mammon himself and designed to disturb the natural landscape as little as possible. (Current status unknown - possibly destroyed.)
- The Yomins' House - The private residence of Inanna Yomin, daughter of Tammuz and Lilith Hoole. Most surviving members of the family currently live at this location.
- Notable Assets: N/A
- Hierarchy: The elderly Lilith Hoole, the widow of Tammuz Hoole, is technically the family matriarch. But her surviving children are all grown and largely independent of her. Her wishes are honored whenever possible and the rest of the family respects her, but she holds little actual power over their lives. Instead, her daughter Inanna has taken on the role of head of the family.
- Membership: An individual can become a member of the Hoole Clan either through birth, marriage, or adoption. They do not discriminate based on species, politics, or religion.
- Climate: The Hooles are known for their strong sense of moral duty. Like most Shi'ido clans, they value their family very highly. If one of them is in trouble, the others will rally around them to show their support. Even disownment is not necessarily the end, as one parent may remain loyal.
- Reputation: The Hoole family is fairly well-known amongst their people, especially among academic circles. Mammon Hoole is arguably the most famous good Shi'ido known to the galaxy. Older Jedi and Sith (read: hundreds of years old) may have heard of Tammuz Hoole. Outside of Lao-mon, however, they are practically unknown.
- Curios: N/A
- Rules: Aside from Shi'ido cultural traditions and a few members who have received Jedi training, they hold to no specific religion or political affiliation. All are permitted to have their own beliefs and opinions, so long as they are not malevolent in nature. As previously mentioned, they have a strong sense of moral duty and a disgust with those who do evil to others. If you betray and dishonor them, they will shut you out.
- Goals: The family is currently taking a stand against the Brotherhood of the Maw, particularly where the lives and livelihood of the Shi'ido people are concerned.
- Tammuz Hoole † - Family patriarch, great-grandson of Mammon. A retired Jedi Master well-respected among his people, he was just over four hundred years old when Lao-mon was conquered by the Brotherhood of the Maw. He became a general of the Lao-mon Planetary Defense Forces and was killed by friendly fire during the attempted liberation by the Silver Jedi Concord.
- Lilith Hoole [nee Aerie] - Family matriarch, wife of Tammuz. Now in the final stages of her life, Lilith mainly serves as a peacekeeper and source of familial wisdom.
- Zurvan Hoole † - Firstborn child of Tammuz and Lilith. A respectable geologist and widowed hermit who lives alone with his rock collection. He is presumed dead.
- Orcas Hoole † - Secondborn child of Tammuz and Lilith. When he was found to be Force sensitive, he was sent away to receive training. Becoming a Jedi Knight, he disappeared on a quest for relics in a remote part of the galaxy. His remains were tentatively identified on the planet Alashan, having been mostly destroyed by acid.
- Mulciber Hoole † - Thirdborn child of Tammuz and Lilith. A biologist and occasional college professor, Mulciber was married and had a young daughter, Ashmedai. He and his wife were killed during the conquest of Lao-mon.
- Samyaza Hoole † - Fourthborn child of Tammuz and Lilith. When he was found to be Force sensitive, he was sent to be his elder brother Orcas' apprentice. He also disappeared, but no trace of him was ever found. He is presumed dead.
- Penemue Hoole † - Fifthborn child of Tammuz and Lilith. A physicist and college professor. He is presumed dead.
- Mithras Hoole † - Sixthborn child of Tammuz and Lilith. In a family full of scientists and scholars, he was the only lawyer. He, his wife, and their three children were killed during the conquest of Lao-mon.
- Inanna Yomin [nee Hoole] - Seventhborn child and only daughter of Tammuz and Lilith, Inanna was disowned by her father because she assisted a Sith Lord, betraying both her family and her people. Following Tammuz's death, Lilith accepted Inanna back into the family. Inanna was married to Hal Yomin, with whom she adopted two children, Ophelia and Galahad. Her children were killed in a terrorist bombing, and her husband died of cancer.
- Hieronymus Hoole - Eighthborn child of Tammuz and Lilith. When the Maw conquered Lao-mon, he was traveling the galaxy as a wandering anthropologist and xenobiologist, much like his great-grandfather did. He has yet to re-establish contact with what remains of his family.
- Pygar Hoole - Adopted son of Tammuz and Lilith. A Sith Changeling, Pygar rejected his "creator" and defected from the Sith Empire. He became part of the family when Tammuz and Lilith each invoked ish'ken, the spirit of adoption. He went missing during the liberation attempt, though there have been sightings of him on Coruscant since...
- Ashmedai "Ash" Hoole - Daughter of Mulciber, aged around nineteen (still considered a juvenile by Shi'ido standards). Inanna's wayward niece is still dealing with the grief and trauma caused by the loss of her parents and homeworld. Though Inanna is her legal guardian, the relationship between the two is tense, with Ash constantly running away and getting herself into trouble.
The Hoole clan is still subsisting off the legacy of their progenitor, Mammon Hoole, a scientist and anthropologist best known for his seminal (and ghostwritten) work The Essential Guide to Alien Species. After having worked for the Galactic Empire as a scientist, Mammon had a moral awakening and left. He became an anthropologist and traveled the galaxy, gathering a massive amount of notes about the various alien species he encountered. When the Death Star destroyed Alderaan, Mammon's brother Moloch, who had married a human woman from the planet, was killed. The niece and nephew of Moloch's human wife, Tash and Zak Arranda, were left orphaned. Mammon, having a strong sense of family duty, adopted them, unaware that the pair had a habit of getting involved with the Rebellion. Mammon himself sought to atone for his past crimes by stopping his former colleague, Borborgymus Gog, a fellow Shi'ido scientist who was still working for the Empire. Once Gog was killed and the Empire fell, Mammon and the children settled down.
With Tash and Zak coming of age and heading off to college, Mammon returned to Lao-mon, where he compiled his notes and sent them to a ghostwriter. His notes became the basis for The Essential Guide to Alien Species, an exhaustive volume including information on virtually every alien species in the known galaxy. The publication of the book made Mammon famous and very wealthy. He used this fortune to build himself a private residence in the jungles of his homeworld, where he settled down and lived out the rest of his life in relative peace.
His marriage late in life to a female Shi'ido named Na'amah produced one son, Dagon. Dagon likewise married at a more advanced age than usual, to Eisheth Taranis, and had only one son, Tammuz. But Tammuz, who always had "a touch of the pagan" in him despite his sagely aspirations, was due to smash the mold. He married very young, to Lilith Aerie, with whom he had eight children, seven boys and one girl. The children weren't born all at once, obviously, but over the course of their nearly four hundred year marriage. In between the births of his children, Tammuz left Lao-mon to receive Jedi training (at some point Force sensitivity was introduced to the gene pool, presumably through Tammuz's mother). Lilith meanwhile worked as a teacher and stay-at-home mother.
Tammuz and Lilith settled in the home of their ancestors, where they planned to live out the rest of their days in peaceful retirement. However, this all changed when Pygar, a Sith Changeling, appeared on their doorstep. He had been sent to them by their daughter Inanna, and he was carrying a datachip containing invaluable information about Sith experiments using Shi'ido DNA and alchemy. The Hooles agreed to hide Pygar and the datachip. Inanna returned to Lao-mon under the guise of a family visit, but she ultimately betrayed them, destroying the datachip. For this Tammuz disowned her and officially adopted Pygar into the family.
Years later, Lao-mon was invaded by the Brotherhood of the Maw. Several members of the Hoole family were killed in the conflict. Tammuz immediately became a general in the Lao-mon Planetary Defense Forces, leading a guerilla war against the Mawites. He worked closely with his former apprentice Arimanes Bosch, aka Professor Errik Nimdok, to convince the Silver Jedi Concord to launch a counter-invasion in an effort to drive the Maw out of Lao-mon. The attempted liberation of the planet was a disastrous defeat, ending in the death of Tammuz by friendly fire, the disappearance of a wounded Pygar, and genocide against the Shi'ido.
