Biology and Appearance

The Asogians are short, big-eyed creatures easily identified by their stubby legs, lanky arms and telescopic necks. Their baggy skin does not obscure the glow occasionally given off by their internal organs or fingertips. They are all naturally Force-sensitive to a degree, and freely use their powers of telekinesis and healing in their daily lives. It is these powers, as well as high emotional states, that can cause parts of their body to give off a warm, orange light. Asogians are neither male nor female, and only they know how they reproduce.

Society and Culture

Brodo Asogi is a lush, green planet covered in exotic vegetation, unmarred by the scars of civilization often left by technologically advanced species like the Asogians. This is due in part to the Asogians' passion for exploration and discovery of the universe beyond their own planet, leaving it in peace while they travel and learn what the galaxy has to offer. When they arrive on new planets, it is not to conquer, colonize or exploit, but to gather knowledge of life itself and to teach what they've learned to others. Their pursuit of knowledge comes in many forms, however, and can sometimes get them in trouble as easily as it can earn them allies. In the theater of galactic politics, the Asogians have historically been keenly aware of and unhesitant to react to the clutches of tyranny and corruption, choosing to aid other species in holding to freedom and truth rather than cower in self-preservation. Although, they are not a warlike people.
