#shiilauh
Compared to other humanoid species, togruta are not notably predisposed to expansionism.
The eventual spread across their homeworld Shili was triggered by a great flood which forced them to leave the basin where they are believed to have first evolved into anatomically modern togruta. Some groups remained close to their homeland, named in the oldest recorded language as Shiilauh, and eventually reinhabited it once it had drained some two generations later.
However, like most species, there are exceptions to the trend. The other groups had differing approaches to finding new homes, and the most expansionist individuals travelled the farthest, leading the cultures of their descendant groups to place far more emphasis on travel, exploration, and discovery.The differing cultures within the species are still around today and the more expansionist groups are often the forerunners in interplanetary outreach and in the colonisation of otherwise uninhabited worlds such as Kiros. However, the fact that togruta have far fewer colonies than other sentient species and are almost always in an extreme minority on most worlds (compared to, for example, humans, who often make up 50% of the population of any given world) suggests that togruta are not naturally inclined to move far from their community, likely due to their history and tradition as pack-hunters.
