Gnomes are small but clever and talented. They innately understand machines and the Force. If the records of the gnomes are too be trusted, they may have developed one of the first working hyperdrives in galactic history, but couldn't decide on a reason to leave their home-world for generations.
The gnome home-world is one of the moons of the dwarven home-world. Eventually they travelled to visit their neighbors and joined them in battling giants and goblinoids. The gnomes brought their knowledge of the Force and their technology and most dwarven technology is based on gnomish technology.
Gnomes are natural Force-users and had a strong Jedi culture. During the Old Republic, gnomes travelled the galaxy recording and collecting the history of any culture they could find. The "gnomish bards" are legends on almost every planet. When the Empire rose to power, the gnomes retreated with the dwarves.
With the fall of the Empire the gnomes have returned to the rest of the galaxy along with their dwarven allies. They quickly made contact with the Jedi Praxium to help rebuild the Jedi.
