Abyssin


Visual Characteristics

Skin Color Green, tan
Hair Color Black, turning white with age
Eye Color Yellow, white
Distinctions Single eye, regenerative abilities

Physical Characteristics

Height 5'5" +2d10"
Weight 150 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Byss
Language Abyssin

Biology and Appearance

The hulking abyssin have long limbs and a single large eye that dominates their foreheads. Typically well-muscled, the abyssin's stooping gait results in a slightly hunched appearance.

A distinctive trait of the abyssin is their ability to heal quickly; their fast regeneration is believed to have been an adaptation to prevent fluid loss via bleeding on their desert homeworld. All cells in the abyssin body are replaced every 80 hours, and organs which typically were paired in other species appear singularly.

Society and Culture

A primitive tribal society, the abyssin of Byss are known as violent and brutish, and their planet is avoided by most beings in the civilized galaxy. Unstable resources on Byss do not allow for mass population growth or for the stabilization of a central government, economy or trade system.

Existing simply in nomadic tribes, abyssin groups can interact peacefully with one another, though only if both groups have plentiful water and food supplies. Otherwise, they began a 'Blooding', a brawl that ends only when one tribe's warriors are all killed, captured, or incapacitated. Warriors who survive a Blooding are usually allowed to join the winning tribe once they finish their regeneration. This tradition led to some violent incidents when spacers tried to make first contact and trade with Abyssin tribes with scarce water resources, especially since the abyssin assumed the alien traders could regenerate as quickly as they did.

Names

There does not appear to be any distinction between male and female names for abyssin. Abyssin don't use surnames.

Names. Anami, Easym, Myo, Qawohl, Seh-run, Sidie

Abyssin Traits

As an abyssin, you have the following special traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.

Age. Abyssin reach adulthood at age 30 and can live up to 300 years thanks to their regenerative abilities.

Alignment. Abyssin's violent and anarchic upbringing cause them to tend toward the dark side, though there are exceptions.

Size. Abyssin stand around 6 feet tall and weigh between 200 and 400 lb. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Rapidly Regenerative. You heal quickly, both at will and in response to danger. As a bonus action, you can choose to spend one of your Hit Dice to recover hit points. Additionally, when you take damage, you can use your reaction and expend a Hit Die to regain hit points as long as the damage would not reduce your hit points to 0.

Rugged Survivalist. You are proficient in the Survival skill. Additionally, you are naturally adapted to hot climates, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Tech-Impaired. While abyssin can figure out basic technology, they experience difficulty using more complex equipment like wristpads. You can not use tech powers or take levels in techcasting classes.

Savage Attacks. When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon's damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Abyssin. Abyssin uses mainly growls and grunts that many species consider primitive. The written form of language uses only a small number of simple hieroglyphs.

Distinctions Large eyes, single horn on head, pointed ears

Physical Characteristics

Height 4'9" +2d6"
Weight 100 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Riflor
Language Advb

Biology and Appearance

Advozsec evolved from herbivorous reptile-analogs which fed on the vegetation known to form around Riflor's hot springs. Evolving into a class of reptomammal, advozsec have a single horn at the crown of their heads, four digits on each hand and foot, pointed ears, and large eyes. Advozsec are strictly vegetarian, unable to properly digest meat. The geothermal hot springs that appear on their homeworld forced the species to evolve thick skin in order to survive. The large eyes of the advozsec are adaptations to the clouds of volcanic ash which darken Riflor's skies.

Society and Culture

Since so much of the sunlight on Riflor is blocked by volcanic eruptions, advozsec tend to settle near geothermal springs for heat. Unfortunately, these springs also tend to be in geologically unstable regions, and anything built near them is often destroyed or abandoned due to eruptions or groundquakes. As a result, the advozse people ended up having little attachment to material goods or long-term plans, and developed a pessimistic, selfish, and even paranoid outlook on life. This facet of their culture remained long after contact with the Galactic Republic gave them access to modern construction techniques allowing for more permanent buildings. Seeing financial stability as the only truly achievable stability one could find in life, the advozsec constantly strive to accumulate as much monetary wealth as they can in a lifetime in order to have the ability to rebuild when the worst happens.

Names

Advozsec have simple names that do not distinguish between genders, using familiar surnames.

First Names. Dleck, Fjemm, Gorde, Rollar, Xon

Surnames. Ghantere, Leventraim, Timack, Vy, Zimda

As an advozse, you have the following special traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Age. Advozsec reach adulthood in their late teens and typically live for over half a century.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision Your vision can easily cut through darkness. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Hide. You have a thick hide. While you are unarmored or wearing light armor, your AC is 12 + your Dexterity modifier.

Horn. Your sharp horn is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 kinetic damage.

Lava Dweller. Your body is well accustomed to extreme heat, giving you resistance to fire damage.

Vigilant. When you would roll initiative, you can choose to have advantage on the roll. Once you've done so, you must complete a short or long rest before you can do so again.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Advb. Advb sounds quick and aggressive. It's incredibly rare to find a non-advozsec speaking Advb, some linguists even considering it all but a dead language.

Their bodies are covered in jointed white, bony plates covered in unique painted motifs. The aing-tii head is small and juts out perpendicularly from their chest, featuring two large eyes and six long, thin, green tongues extending from their mouths. They have a long, prehensile tail. The species is incapable of producing sound and conveys information via tasting, smelling and touching each other with their tongues.

Society and Culture

The aing-tii are native to a planet whose location in the Kathol Rift is a closely guarded secret. Although in a dangerous area of space, the majority of Aing-Tii never leave their homeworld nor have any contact with the outside world. Those who doócommonly called aing-tii warrior monksóare often xenophobic and reclusive. The monks spend their entire lives performing errands for their gods, in the hope that they will receive "an answer" from them. The aing-tii hate slavery, and often attack slavers who roam the Kathol Outback.

While the aing-tii are Force-sensitive, they avoid wielding the Force, which they see as sacred. The aing-tii believe that everything is somehow guided by the Force. They do not believe in the light or dark sides of the Force. Instead, they hold that there are many different aspects to the Force.

Living in complicated clan structures, anx enjoy the company of their large families and are more comfortable in groups.

An innate trait among the anx is a formidable knowledge of anatomy, especially in regard to nerves, muscles and bone structures. Due to this extensive knowledge, even by species they have never encountered, the anx are considered dangerous unarmed combatants and skilled warriors, capable of incapacitating opponents with a single, well-placed strike.

An amphibious species native to the planet Ando, the Aqualish people have two facial tusks which curve down over their mouths; a trait which added to their appearance as arachnids. These facial tusks are highly sensitive to heat and cold and are used for cracking open the hard shells of shellfish or burrowing through the swampy loam of their homeworld. Having finned hands and two bulbous black eyes, Aqualish are unable to manipulate most machinery or equipment developed by the galaxy's many species which designed these tools for beings with digits. As a result, Aqualish tend to remain on their homeworld. Aqualish are well known for their hair-trigger tempers that flare without reason.

While Force-sensitive Aqualish are rare, members of the species have trained as both Sith and Jedi, though they typically gravitate toward the former.

Society and Culture

The Aqualish hate the image they have in the galaxy as thugs, regardless of its veracity, and blame it on any- and everyone else. Because of this, the species are considered pariahs on Ando, which has a lower population of Aqualish than the galaxy itself. All Aqualish speak mutually intelligible dialects of the
same language. Quarrelsome and thug-like, the
Aqualish culture revolved around aggression and toughness, with diplomacy being one of their weakest
attributes.

Arcona depended on the ammonia to live and, as a result, arcona living offworld have to take ammonia supplements. Despite their large eyes, arcona have very poor eyesight. Their eyes, made up of thousands of photoreceptors, can not detect fine shapes, only seeing blurry objects. To aid this, they have a small sensory organ between their eyes. Often mistaken for their nose, this organ detects heat patterns from living beings. Thus, arcona can recognize things by its heat pattern.

Arcona are highly susceptible to addiction to spice and common salt, which serves as a hallucinogen with effects resembling that of intoxication. Their eyes shift to gold after prolonged addiction.

Society and Culture

Arcona normally think of themselves not as individuals but as a collective whole. Largely forsaking individuality, they often refer to themselves as "we" even when alone. The arcona live in loose, family-based communities called nests, which are ruled by a Grand Nest. Because arcona are born in nests underground, they obtain a close sense of family living in close quarters with siblings. Males raise the young, since females are typically impulsive thrill-seekers.

Names

Arcona names are quite diverse, named by their fathers in the nest. Surnames are either familial or nest-based.

Male Names. Bijrik, El, Jat, Kazat, Onalol, Shle

Female Names. Ak, Cimam, Cuten, He, Madan, Omik

Society and Culture

The Ardennian people themselves are a friendly communal species that are well known for welcoming visitors and inviting newcomers to traditional feasts and dances on the sandy beaches of Ardennia. Rural Ardiennan's live in modern tree-villages in the thick, dim jungle canopy on the majority of the islands. Ground level accommodations are available for off world visitors even in the smaller villages. Most off-worlders stay in the large modern resort complexes which boast having miles of private beaches or in the modern cities. Several large cities exist, scattered around the world, which typically encompass an entire island or a series of smaller islands joined together.

Ardennia's distance from the main hyperlanes makes it one of the lesser-known vacation destinations, but it's a popular one for those who don't mind the extra travel time. Some affluent visitors prefer the solitude that Ardennia offers, and occasionally end up purchasing one of the smaller islands to build their own home.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Arkania
Language Arkanian

Biology and Appearance

Arkanians are a robust near-human species with solid white eyes and clawed, four-fingered hands.

Arkanians are capable of seeing into the infrared spectrum, and their eyes are sensitive to sources of extreme heat. This proved helpful on their dark and frigid homeworld, but when traveling offworld, many must wear blinders on planets with hotter, younger suns. It is not unheard of for arkanians to undergo genetic or cybernetic manipulation of their own bodies, enhancing themselves so as to be better than "lesser" species.

Society and Culture

Arkanians are notoriously arrogant, a trait which came from generations of producing some of the galaxy's greatest advancements in genetics and technology. Their homeworld, Arkania, has vast quantities of precious gems; thus, the arkanians have never wanted for much in trade. This wealth went into funding their ambitious scientific projects, the most elaborate of which take generations to be completed.

Many arkanians have come to see their species as the pinnacle of evolution, and amongst the mostóif not the mostóintelligent beings in the galaxy. Those species that are not already put off by their aloof nature often fear them, as tales of "mad scientists" and horrific experiments tend to surround them.

Names

Arkanian names are simultaneously dignified and succinct. Surnames are familial.

Male Names. Arkoh, Hyrim, Zeta, Suprin

Female Names. Shenna, Elizie, Cratala, Hanna

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Arkanian Brilliance. Whenever you make an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw using Intelligence, you can choose to add 1d4 to the result. You can choose to do this after the check is rolled, but before the DM determines if you've passed or failed the check. You cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

Crafters. You have proficiency in one tool of your choice.

Darkvision. You have a keen eyesight, especially in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Honed Mind. You have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against force and tech powers.

Infrared Sight. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Perception) check related to sight, you are considered to have expertise in the Perception skill.

Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

Eye Color Varies
Distinctions Antennapalps, resistance to toxins

Physical Characteristics

Height 4'8" +2d8"
Weight 100 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Balosar
Language Balosur

Biology and Appearance

Physically similar to humans, balosars appear to be sickly and gaunt when compared with the galaxy's most common species due to the heavy pollution of their homeworld. The most striking difference between balosars and humanity is a pair of antennapalps which sprouts from underneath the thick, coarse hair on their skulls. Retractable, these atennapalps allow them to listen into the subsonic range and give the species physical intuition and preternatural reflexes, which members of the Jedi Order sometimes mistook for Force-sensitivity. Balosars also possess an acute tolerance for poisonous substances, a byproduct of life on their toxic homeworld.

Society and Culture

Early in its history, the balosar homeworld was overrun by galactic megacorporations eager to exploit the world's lax ecological protection laws. The planet was home to the balo mushroom, a key ingredient in death sticks, one of the galaxy's most infamous narcotics. After its discovery, Balosar was wrought with corruption, addiction, and pollution from the production and usage of death sticks.

Since there is little opportunity to flourish on their homeworld, balosars often leave in search of fortune elsewhere. Their natural resistance to the lethalóbut not the addictiveóeffects of the drug encourages some to enter the death stick business.

Names

Balosar names have a slight exotic tinge to themóoften because Balosar parents name their children while on a death stick high. Their surnames are familial.

Male Names. Barin, Elan, Fantes, Zerba

Female Names. Delaana, Ferrika, Reki, Vetyl

Surnames. Cher'dak, Mer'darro, Sel'Sabagno

As a balosar, you have the following special traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.

Age. Balosars reach adulthood in their late teens and live about 70 years naturally, though death stick addiction has lead to a general decline in their lifespan.

Alignment. Balosars are notoriously cynical, selfish, and pragmatic, causing most to be neutral dark side. However, there are exceptions.

Size. Balosar stand at an average height of about 5 feet, and weigh about 115 lb. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Keen Hearing. Your antennapalps give you advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks based on hearing.

Snap Senses. Through your antennapalps, you can sense incoming danger and react accordingly. When you roll for initiative, you can choose to gain advantage on the roll. Alternatively, if you are surprised, you may act normally on your first turn. Once you've used this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Spicer. You are proficient in spicer's kit.

Toxin Resistance. You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage (explained in chapter 9).

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Balosur. Balosur is known by its throaty rasps and deep vocalizations, and is considered crude as a written language.

Barabel are a bipedal species of reptilians who are covered in very tough dark colored scales. Evolved from nocturnal lizards, the Barabel adapted a thick layer of fat which allowed them to remain active and not sluggish when temperatures dropped. A blaster set on stun would not damage them at all or slow them down, as it would merely bounce off their scales. Barabel are able to shed their tails if necessary, an ability that proved the undoing of many startled foes. They also possess heavy retractable claws along with needle sharp teeth which can grow to be 2 inches in length. A carnivorous species, Barabel possess two stomachs in order to process the massive amount of food they required to survive.

Society and Culture

Living in low tech communities ranging from a few dozen individuals to no more than ten thousand, the Barabel community is built around a warren where the group thrives and hunted from. The Barabel species is noted for its hunting and tracking prowess; many of their actions are fueled by their hunting instincts, leading to the general feeling that Barabel are always angry. They are well known for their aggression but are also extremely loyal. They also have a great deal of respect for the Jedi because of their first experiences with a Jedi Master who settled a dangerous clan dispute. Apologies, whether for a misdeed or in sympathy, are an unknown concept to Barabel and are considered insulting.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Old Barag
Language Baragwinian

Biology and Appearance

A hunchbacked species of sentient reptilians, the bipedal baragwin are easily recognized across the galaxy. Noted for their thick, wrinkled skin which can resist most physical attacks and their shuffling gait, the large-headed race have no obvious differences between male and female baragwin. An acute sense of smell give the species enough sensitivity to detect another being's mood and feelings. This leads some of them into careers as big-game hunters, or even as bounty hunters. Due to their ponderous movement, many non-baragwin believe the race to be a dull-witted people while, in fact, they are quite intelligent. Despite this fact, the baragwin frequently keep this intelligence hidden, using the misconceptions of others to their own advantage.

Society and Culture

Baragwin culture, since it does not derive from a single homeworld, is highly dependent on a baragwin's planet of origin, with Tatooinian baragwin behaving quite differently from those from Denuhi-Eight. Baragwin generally have little prejudice, treating all other beings equally regardless of species, culture, or planetary origins; though criminal baragwin will exploit all beings equally instead. Baragwin settlements are generally small and anarchic, with short-term leaders selected by informal democratic processes. Baragwin are famous as skilled weapon-smiths and introduced many different weapons to different worlds. Baragwin-made blasters and vibroblades are among the most powerful personal weapons in the galaxy.

Names

Baragwin have names with wide tones, spoken using the entire mouth, that don't differentiate by gender. Baragwin use familial surnames.

Homeworld Ojom
Language Besalisk

Biology and Appearance

Male Besalisks' heads sported prominent crests and four arms hung at their sides; females of the species could have as many as eight arms, but like Humans had a primary hand and a limited range of functionality with the others. The addition of the extra appendages required a hearty metabolism, and these bulky beings were able to store food and water for many days, and if the need arose, they could survive for long periods without either. Scruffy sensory whiskers lined the area below their noses, just above the robust wattle most adult Besalisks possessed.

Society and Culture

Because of Ojom's harsh environment, large cities were never developed on the world; instead small communes of about a thousand families claim territories around the world and are each led by an elected leader. The communes have a strict policy of keeping the size of their groupings equal to avoid conflict. When too many families grow in one area, the leader would ask certain families to break away and start a new community on another glacier.

While not involved in galactic politics and because they do not produce any of their own technology, the Besalisks established large orbital space stations where offworlders could come to do business. Trading and making deals, any violence on these stations is committed by offworlders as Besalisks avoid confrontation.

Biology and Appearance

A species of furry mammalians, the caamasi are covered in dense fur and have a spicy, woody body scent that is similar to that of Corellian whiskey. They have long arms with three-fingered hands, and pointed ears which stick out from the sides of their heads. They also have extremely acute senses of smell, with their nose positioned at the end of a tooth-filled snout. Caamasi have the interesting ability to share vivid memories called memnii with their near relatives and Force-sensitives. A memnis is as vivid to one who receives it as it was to the one who participated in the event remembered. Their peace-loving natures are in part due to memnii, as having a memory of killing or harming will be particularly strong, becoming unbearable in time, and something caamasi will seek to avoid except in defense of themselves or others, for which case they would accept their burden.

Society and Culture

A pacifist race, culture on Caamas evolved around the basic tenets of peace and social justice; influencing the evolution of the Jedi Order. Working as explorers, diplomats, and artists, the caamasi are a monogamous people who value single partners while mating and starting a family. However following the devastation of their homeworld by the Empire, caamasi who were off-world at the time considered evolving to a position of polygamy so as to regrow the population. While the argument is one of survival, many sociologists familiar with the culture of the caamasi believe that they will not accept the idea.

Diplomatic. You have proficiency in the Persuasion skill.

On a failed save the target is stunned, and you can share vivid memories with the target as if they were their own for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a power). The transfer ends if you stop touching the target. At the end of each of its turns, the creature can repeat the saving throw to resist the transfer. On a success, the transfer ends. Otherwise, you may end the transfer on your turn (no action required). Once you've used this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. This feature has no effect on droids, constructs, or Force-Insensitive creatures.

Scholarly. You have proficiency in the Insight skill.

Chagrian


Visual Characteristics

Skin Color Light to dark blue
Hair Color None
Eye Color Black
Distinctions Horns (male), lethorns, black forked tongues

Physical Characteristics

Height 5'5" +2d8"
Weight 120 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Champala
Language Chagri

Biology and Appearance

Chagrians are born as tadpoles in clutches of three or more and raised in tubs of water in a family's private home. During this time, their arms, legs, and air-breathing lungs develop. Adult Chagrians are truly amphibious, retaining their ability to breathe underwater while also able to function without difficulty in air. They also possess acute low-light vision.

The average Chagrian stands taller than a Human. They are distinguished by two fleshy growths protruding from the sides of their heads, which they call lethorns. As they age, the lethorns thicken. Males also sport two horns growing from the top of their skulls. These were once used in underwater duels to attract a mate, and are seen as a sign of the males' strength and virility. Females lack the superior cranial horns, but had more pronounced and longer posterior head plates; these can reach halfway down their back. Chagrians also have very long black forked tongues.

Society and Culture

As a species, Chagrians are generally peaceful and law-abiding to the point of becoming stoic and obstinate. Many Chagrians are motivated only by basic desires such as sustenance, shelter, and healthcare. Chagrian government ensures that every citizen is cared and provided for, so the standard of living for the poorest Chagrian is high compared to the members of other species. Chagrians who expect violence often wear red.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Vinsoth
Language Chevin

Biology and Appearance

Chevin have long snouts which hang down nearly to their ankles. Combined with their intellect, this makes them skilled hunters of animals such as backshin, because they can smell out their prey or feed while keeping their eyes on the horizon. It is also their hunting prowess which allowed them to dominate their homeworld and conquer the Chevs. Chevin have thick legs, massive wide bodies, thin rope-like tails, and arms so long their three-fingered hands often brushed the ground.

Society and Culture

Chevin live in small, mobile communities, with homes mounted on great wheeled carts. Even after they gained access to galactic technology, they continued to live as nomads (though more affluent Chevin mounted their lodges on large repulsorlift vehicles instead.) Their Chev slaves are usually forced to follow on foot. Nomadic groups of Chevin keep in touch via comlinks, and often converge on a single location to deal with danger.

The only Chevin settlements that stay in place for more than one standard month are the Government Villages, where Chevin dictators live with their hand-picked advisors. Even these settlements are movable when necessary. Each of the roughly two dozen Government Villages rules a Chevin nation.

Names

Chevin names do not vary significantly based on gender. Surnames are based on community.

Eye Color Red to gold
Distinctions Two transparent horns, centauriform

Physical Characteristics

Height 6'0" +2d12"
Weight 450 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d8) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Chiron
Language Chironan

Biology and Appearance

The chironian lower body has four legs, similar to that of a horse, and each ends in a dainty, cloven hoof. A chironian can sit down by folding his or her horse-like legs underneath the body. Chironians can also kick backward with both hind legs; this strong kick is sufficient to knock over other beings. A chironian's pace can vary between a walk, a canter, and a gallop.

Each year, chironian heads grows two horns above the temples. These horns start as small knobs covered by red-furred velvet: a vascular tissue. Once the knobs have grown sufficiently, they break through the velvet naturally, emerging as transparent horns, as bright as diamond, cool to the touch and with smooth ridges. However, if the velvet is cut artificially, chironians can die from the injury. Over time, the horns grow long and sharp enough that adolescent chironians can use them to gore opponents.

Society and Culture

Chironians express emotions through the mannerisms of their hooves: when impatient, they stamp them; when excited, they tap them in a quick dance, or canter in a spot. The centauriforms frequently shake their heads and manes, and when angry, their faces flush a deeper shade. Young chironians, when frightened, are known to rub or press their velvet-covered horns against the foreheads of other beings to whom they are emotionally close.

Names

Chironian names are soft and melodic, despite the thick nature of their native language. Important family names are passed down through generations. They don't use surnames.

Male Names. Jefin, Slaturn, Cinall, Leathes

Female Names. Olachi, Luna, Sinall, Trespen

Chironian Traits

As a chironian, you have the following special traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Age. Chironians reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a century.

Alignment. Chironians tend toward no particular alignment. The best and worst are found among them.

Size. Chironians typically stand 6 to 8 feet tall and generally weigh about 600 lb. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 40 feet.

Cultured. You have proficiency in the Lore skill.

Equine Build. Your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift doubles. If it would already double, it instead triples. Additionally, any climb that requires hands and feet is especially difficult for you because of your hooves. When you make such a climb, each foot of movement costs you 4 extra feet, instead of the normal 1 extra foot. Finally, a Medium or smaller creature can ride on your equine back if you allow it. In such a situation, you continue to act independently, not as a controlled mount.

Hooves and Horns. Your hooves (and depending on your age, horns) are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 kinetic damage.

Powerful Charge. If you move at least 10 feet in a straight line before hitting with a melee weapon attack, you can attempt to trip the target prone as part of the same attack. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Chironan. Chironan is characterized by its soft, melodic sounds.

Physical Characteristics

Height 4'7" +2d10"
Weight 110 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4)lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Csilla
Language Cheunh

Biology and Appearance

The chiss are a near-human species distinguished by their blue skin and glowing red eyes. Genetic analysis indicate that they are an offshoot of humanity, and it is believed that moving underground led to a divergence between them and baseline Humans. Their blue skin, jet black hair and red eyes generally command attention; these features make them physically striking and instantly recognizable.

Society and Culture

Chiss society is highly structured and ordered with the rule of law being enforced by a group of four affiliations known as the Ruling Families: the Csapla, Nuruodo, Inrokini and Sabosen. These are not biological family groupings but instead different branches of their government. Every chiss claims affiliation to one of the four families, as determined by both tradition and place of birth. The family names are more of a cultural holdover; the bloodlines had grown so co-meddled that any chiss could claim affiliation to any of the ruling families. In spite of the outward impression of calm and order that the chiss like to project to outsiders, there were evidently tensions within the Families; political assassinations are a real part of chiss political life for the Ruling Families.

Names

A chiss true-name has 3 parts, each separated by an apostrophe. The first part is their family name, the second part is their root name, and the third part is their occupation. Chiss rarely share their true-name with non-chiss, and usually go by their root name. Male and female names do not significantly deviate.

Names. Crorcu’ecuk’unist, Dash’esoru’ishur, Jerd’ecer’lonii, Kisk’egauw’eqhi, Marag’aliphil’eduo, Pommo’icuote’nlerme, Vornu’wuzi’lerdim

Speed. Your speed is 30ft.

Martial Training. You are proficient in Light armor as well as Blaster Pistols, Carbine Rifles, and Sniper Rifles.

Militaristic. Growing up in a heavily militarized culture has taught you how to navigate various political spheres and the basics of Warfare. You are proficient in Athletics, Insight, or Piloting (your choice).

Superior Darkvision. Your vision can easily cut through darkness. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Tactically Minded. You learn one maneuver, detailed in Chapter 13. Your maneuver ability is Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution for physical maneuvers (your choice), Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma for mental maneuvers (your choice), and an ability of your choice for general maneuvers.

You can use this maneuver without needing to expend a superiority die once per short or long rest, using a d4 as the maneuver die when you do so. This die changes as you gain levels: to d6 at 5th level, to d8 at 9th level, to d10 at 13th level, and to d12 at 17th level.

Tech Resistance. Growing up around technology leaves an impact on chiss. You have advantage on Dexterity and Intelligence saving throws against tech powers.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic, Cheunh, and your choice of Minnisiat or Sy Bisti. Cheunh is a complex language that is difficult for non-chiss to learn. Chiss take pride in this difficulty. Communications with outsiders are conducted through local trade-languages like Minnisiat or Sy Bisti.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Zolan
Language Clawdite

Biology and Appearance

In their natural form, clawdites resemble reptilian humanoids, having evolved from reptomammals. They have sunken cheeks with a narrow nose, a small mouth, large eyes with slit-like pupils, and a thin line that runs down their foreheads, creasing their nose. Clawdites possess an extremely rare ability to change their appearance. They can change the color and texture of their skin and eyes, and even grow hair, to mimic other species, though they cannot add significant physical mass to their bodies.

Society and Culture

By nature, clawdites are quiet and solitary beings, often shunning the company of others unless it benefits them. Due to their nature as shapeshifters, they are often mistrusted by strangers. Consequently, they view the galaxy pragmatically, and are often harsh realists.

Not all clawdites use their shapeshifting abilities due to the pain the transformation causes. These clawdites are often inclined to remain on their homeworld of Zolan, avoiding the company of other species.

On Zolan, clawdites are feared and shunned by the zolanders, who are a deeply religious people, believing that clawdites are impure and sinful. Zolanders force clawdites to live in slums scattered across the planet.

Those clawdites who leave their homeworld tend to gravitate toward professions that celebrate their shapeshifting, such as smuggling, bounty hunting, or espionage.

Names

Clawdite names often have a rolling or hissing quality to them. Surnames are familial, though clawdites rarely use them.

Male Names. Nuri, Pol, Renneyn, Rosat, Turman

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Changeling Instincts. You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Intimidation, Insight, and Persuasion

Shapechanger. As an action, you can change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height and weight, but not so much that your size changes. You can make yourself appear as a member of another species, though none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the appearance of a creature you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait. You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die.

Unsettling Visage. When a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. You must use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Using this trait reveals your shapeshifting nature to any creature within 30 feet that can see you. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic, Clawdite, and one more language of your choice. Clawdite is characterized by its rolling sounds paired with hissing sibilants.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Munto Codru
Language Codruese

Biology and Appearance

Codru-Ji are humanoids generally near-human in their adult appearances, save for their four arms. While their hair, eye, and skin pigmentations tend towards earthen hues, brighter colorations such as blonde hair or blue eyes, though uncommon, also exist. Rarer still, some adults maintain a light coat of fur or elongated, pointed ears. These eccentric attributes result from their unusual childhood forms.

Codru-Ji children are actually sapient, six-legged canid creatures that cannot speak. Codru-Ji in this stage of their lives are called Wyrwulves: they mature to their more recognizable figures after reaching puberty. At that point, a blue, rubbery substance cocoons a Wyrwulf for several weeks before it emerges as a humanoid adolescent. They do, however, retain both the natural resilience and the enhanced hearing of their previous selves.

Society and Culture

The Codru-Ji are proud and protective of their ancient customs, and they carefully manage their homeworld's economy to keep a degree of anonymity from the galaxy at large. They fear the tainting of their long-held practices by outside influence as well as prejudice against them for the almost barbaric level of callousness they will display towards one another in pursuit of personal gain. The kidnapping of a political rivals' children or the ransoming of off-worlders back to their people are both common practices.

Names

Codru-Ji names are often kept to two syllables. Clan names are appended to the given name as a hyphenated affix.

Keen Hearing. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

Natural Grappler. Whenever you make a Strength (Athletics) check to grapple you are considered to have expertise in the Athletics skill.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Colla IV
Language Colicoid

Biology and Appearance

Colicoids are tall insectoids that held multiple appendages. Their bodies are chitinous and include a powerful stinging tail. A colicoid's physiology allows them to curl up into a protective ball and unfurl suddenly which allow them to catch their prey unaware. This rolling method of locomotion is second nature to the colicoids. Their insectoid minds provide them a natural defense against mind tricks.

Some members are colicoid queens that are different as they are more than twice the size of even the largest warrior breeds. This makes them extremely dangerous and are the only colicoids that possess a unique poisonous stinger. This combined with their strength and size makes them deadly combatants, especially when within their nests. However, a queen tends to only fight when her young are being threatened.

Society and Culture

Though highly intelligent, colicoids are emotionless and cannibalistic in nature. Their ruthless cunning serves them well on the battlefield as it does on the negotiating table. It is known that long ago that they transferred these ruthless characteristics to their commerce activities. As a result, they are known to be brutally efficient in their business practices. They are noted for being vicious and calculating creatures that are driven by greed whilst showing little regard for others. The colicoids have numerous successful commercial ventures and hold strict business protocols.

Names

Colicoid names are typically very short and gender neutral, with surnames being based on the queen from which they spawned.

Cannibalize. If you spend at least 1 minute devouring the corpse of a beast or humanoid, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of one). Once you've used this feature, you must complete a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Closed Mind. Colicoid brains have an unusual composition which gives them a natural defense against the Force. You have advantage on Wisdom and Charisma saving throws against force powers.

Defensive Ball. You are able to curl into a rolling ball for extra protection. When you take the Dash action while you aren't wielding a shield, you gain a bonus to AC equal to half your proficiency bonus until the start of your next turn.

Natural Armor. Due to your carapace and the shape of your body, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your carapace provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number). You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield's bonus as normal.

Stinger. Your stinger is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 kinetic damage.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Colicoid. The Colicoid language uses sounds produced by the antennae and jointed legs of the colicoids, including humming sounds and clicks, which makes it difficult for other species to speak.

Biology and Appearance

While defel appear to be visually similar to the shistavanen, they are very different on a biological level. Defel have the ability to bend waves of light in such a manner that it renders them practically invisible to the human eye. Despite this ability, they could be still be spotted by force-users and keen-eyed individuals.

Defel have extremely high perceptive ability because of their large ears, sensitive noses, and keen eyes. Because of the heightened levels of visual stimuli their eyes experience, defel are nearly blinded by sunlight but can see rather well in the dark.

Society and Culture

Defel live in tight-knit, interdependent communites underground. The harsh environment on Af'El turned the defel into rugged survivors, able to hold their own in the Galaxy.

Weight 80 lb. + (Height Roll) x (1d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Iego
Language Galactic Basic

Biology and Appearance

Diathim are a mysterious species of winged sentients famed for their radiance and beauty. They often make appearances as angelic figures in the folklore of numerous species. Their bodies naturally give off an intense light, obfuscating their physical forms to the naked eye. They have three pairs of thin, translucent wings that appear fragile, but are more than capable of flight. Diathim have been known to survive in the vacuum of space without the need for protective gear, and have a mild hypnotic effect on others in their presence, adding to the legends surrounding them.

Society and Culture

The diathim give off an aura of kindness, and are consistently described as benevolent by spacers, causing tales of their rare appearances to morph over time into the grandiose mythology of the "Angels." The diathim are reputed for their beauty, and the way in which they appear varies depending on the beholder. Diathim are fascinated by spacecraft, which often prompted them to mob any ships that found themselves in the vicinity of their homeworld Iego and its largest moon Millius Prime.

Diathim have only commonly been seen gathering in flocks to welcome arriving ships, and knowledge of their habitat remains a mystery to outsiders. Although they have no apparent language of their own, they have readily adopted Galactic Basic, the common language of the galaxy.

Names

Traditional diathim names are difficult to pronounce. When among other species, they tend to simply go by shortened nicknames for others to refer to them by.

Birth Names. Aiubhirr'merh, D'yz'xarh, Ihuithrhe, Vyxendel'ahitraxr

Flight. You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. While wearing medium or heavy armor, your flying speed is reduced by half.

Luminescent Aura. Starting at 3rd level, you can use your action to amplify your radiant aura, causing a searing light to radiate from you. Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. During it, you shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet, and at the end of each of your turns, you and each creature within 10 feet of you take psychic damage equal to half your level (rounded up). In addition, once on each of your turns, you can deal extra psychic damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a power. The extra psychic damage equals your level.

Height 6'3" +2d12"

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Dowut
Language Dowuta

Biology and Appearance

The Dowutin species evolved from a type of omnivorous herd animal on the planet Dowut. They were large, aggressive-looking humanoids with chin horns, sharp claws, thick skin, and had poor eyesight but superior senses of hearing and smell. Dowutin are massive humanoids who can live for centuries, and dying of old age is unheard of for them. While most other species become frail as they age, Dowutin never stop growing and getting stronger. As teenagers, Dowutin resemble Wookiees in size and strength, but by their fifth century, they are a mountain of muscle weighing a metric ton, with loud footsteps and voices warning other species away.

Society and Culture

Dowutin are a very straightforward people, and their society is among the most simple in the galaxy. They have few cities, governments, or even organized social structures, as they often survive entirely on their own. Children are left behind by their families at a very young age and must learn to fend for themselves. Because of this, those who quickly learned hunting skills survived. Their size and strength made them prized as hired muscle, but most Dowutins' pride dissuaded them from such work, as they viewed other species as weak, absolutely refusing to take orders from anyone who is physically weaker than them. As such, those who employ Dowutin will command them in more subtle ways, typically phrasing their commands as suggestions or advice. Strength in the literal sense is very important to them; it is a measure of worth and earns them respect.

Names

Dowutin names are harsh and guttural, and roll off the tongue like a rock slide. Dowutin do not use surnames.

First Names. Dursuc, Grimgorl, Maucro, Tornak

As a dowutin, you have the following special traits.

Alignment. Dowutins are aggressive and brash, causing them to tend toward the dark side, though there are exceptions.

Size. Dowutins have a unique special characteristic; from birth to death, they never stop growing. Even as an adolescent, dowutins tend to tower over other species, reaching heights over 8 feet and weighing 400 pounds. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Claws. Your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 kinetic damage.

Hide. You have a thick hide. While you are unarmored or wearing light armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. Additionally, you have advantage on Constitution saving throws made to avoid exhaustion due to extreme cold.

Hunter. You have proficiency in the Survival skill.

Keen Hearing and Smell. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that involve hearing or smell.

Powerful Build. Your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift doubles. If it would already double, it instead triples.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Draethos
Language Draethos

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE

Draethos possess large teeth, which grow outside of their mouths. Coupled with their lack of lips, this leads to the appearance of an overbite. Their scaly skin ranged in color from blue to purple to black. Their hands retain an interstitial web between the fingers. Their fingers end in narrow tips which resemble claws. They possess low-light vision, springing from their cave-dwelling ancestors.

Draethos possess a limited telepathy, granting the ability to communicate with any sentient being. The ability is limited to communication; a Draethos can not invade the thoughts of others.

SOCIETY AND CULTURE

Partly due to their long lives, Draethos society was slow to evolve and relies heavily on tradition. The Draethos' culture is warrior-based, and those living on the homeworld are expected to demonstrate their martial or hunting prowess. Life on Draethos is harsh, with arrogant aristocrats squabbling among one another for social standing and wealth. Warriors are perpetually in high demand as gladiators, mercenaries, hunters, and soldiers. Those who make a conscious decision to abandon the way of the warrior are exiled to seek a new life among aliens. Consequently, despite their reputation as fierce combatants, most Draethos encountered offworld are peaceful and intellectual.

Weight 50 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Malastare
Language Dug

Biology and Appearance

Dugs are slender, powerfully built beings with a somewhat humanoid build and a unique method of walking that hailed from the high gravity world Malastare. Their primary means of locomotion is their strong arms, and their lower limbs and feet were used for grappling and other fine motor manipulation. They hardly ever walk on their lower limbs. Although most Dugs may walk on all four limbs, others like to use their strong arms as legs and their feet as hands like they would normally do.

Society and Culture

Due to their oppression under their Gran rulers who colonized Malastare, many Dugs often feel the need to throw around their strength in bids to establish dominance. As a result, they are known for their ill-tempered demeanor, and many are bullying thugs.

On their homeworld of Malastare, the vast majority of Dugs are little more than laborers toiling for the enrichment of the Gran. With the species excluded from much of the power and money on Malastare, many Dugs turn to swoop racing or bounty hunting as their only means to achieve fame and fortune. In all other areas, the Dugs are exploited.

Names

Dug names are often 3 syllables long, mostly through big sounds rather than harsh tones. There are harsher tones in their names as well though, often in the forms of x's and k's. Female Dugs have softer names, but no one would call them beautiful. Surnames are usually passed down through family or clan.

The extra damage equals your level. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Menacing. You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Strong and Small. You have a climbing speed of 25 feet.

Powerful Build. Your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift doubles. If it would already double, it instead triples.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Eshan
Language Galactic Basic

Biology and Appearance

Echani are characterized by their white skin, hair, and eyes, and their remarkable tendency to look very much alike one another to outside observers, particularly amongst family members. It is thought that their origins stem from Arkanian experimentation on the human genome, a hypothesis that could explain their physical conformity.

Society and Culture

A matriarchal, caste-based society originating from the Inner Rim world of Eshan, the echani spread to encompass a confederacy of six worlds including Bengali and Thyrsus, known as the Six Sisters, governed by the all-female Echani Command.

Echani generals are sometimes seen by others as having the ability to predict their opponent's next move. This is no biologicial trait inherent to the species, but rather stems from the fact that combat is so ingrained into every level of echani culture; the echani hold to the idea that combat is the truest form of communication, and to know someone fully, you must fight them. While their combat rituals require complete freedom of movement and unarmed martial arts, in warfare, they tend towards light armor and melee weapons, and are considered excellent craftsmen of such.

Names

Echani names tend to lack hard consonants, but are otherwise as variable as human ones. Echani surnames are tied directly to their place in the caste system.

Male Names. Caelian, Inarin, Losor, Uelis, Yusanis

Allies of the Force. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Insight) check against someone you know to wield the Force, you are considered to have expertise in the Insight skill.

Unarmed Combatant. Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 kinetic damage and have the finesse property.

Echani Art. If a humanoid you can see makes a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make a Wisdom (Insight) check against the target's Charisma (Deception). On a success you learn one of the following traits about that creature: it's Strength, Dexterity or Constitution score; bonus to Strength, Dexterity or Constitution saving throws; armor class; or current hit points. On a failure, the target becomes immune to this feature for one day. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses on a long rest.

Combative Culture. You have proficiency in Lore and Acrobatics.

Martial Upbringing. You have proficiency in light armor, and gain proficiency with two martial vibroweapons of your choice.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and one extra language of your choice.

Esh-kha appear to outsiders as a savage violent species that care only for the destruction of all other races. This hatred for other sentient species is believed to had stemmed from their tightly-knit hive-like society.

Their race only turns violent against one another in the most extreme of circumstances.

Names

Whilst their kind are individuals, esh-kha are not named at birth but instead earn their names through their actions. An esh-kha that displayed great skill in battle could be called "Swift Blade", or maybe "Deadly Cutter" or some other such name.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Falleen
Language Falleen

Biology and Appearance

The Falleen are distinguished by their mottled green or red skin, ridged skulls, and their long, black hair which they typically wear in ponytails. The sleek symmetry of their features, calculating and cold demeanors, their exotic looks, and their ability to alter their skin pigmentation make the Falleen often considered to be among the most aesthetically pleasing beings in the galaxy. In addition to their strikingly beautiful appearance, the Falleen exude pheromones which makes them all but irresistible to both sexes.

The Falleen are semi-aquatic, being able to hold their breath underwater for an extended period of time. Fallen are one of few species that are resistant to manipulation by the Force.

Society and Culture

Falleen society is of a feudal nature, with noble houses ruling over the lower classes. The upper echelons of Falleen aristocracy are rife with politics and intrigue, though they rarely spill blood over disputes or reduce themselves to open warfare.

As a cold-blooded species, the Falleen respect discipline and control, particularly self-control. They tend to shun public displays of emotion, and are very patient. As a result of this attitude, they tend to look down on the more openly passionate, whom they see as lacking self-control. Indeed, the Falleen as a species have a towering sense of superiority, reflecting on their view of Falleen as the civilized and cultural center of the galaxy, rather than Coruscant.

Names

Falleen favor names with Z and X sounds. They are usually accompanied by a surname, which is familial.

Physical Characteristics

Height 5'8" +2d6"
Weight 165 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Felucia
Language Felucianese

Biology and Appearance

Felucians are a tall, bipedal species. Both their arms and legs end in four, large webbed digits with suction-cup fingertips. Springing from the underside of each forearm is a second short arm, ending in three large and agile fingers. A Felucian's head is a thick mass of long flexible tendrils featuring illuminated tips. The eyes and mouth appear as black holes or openings within this mass.

Society and Culture

Felucians are mysterious sentient beings native to the vast fungal swamps and jungles of Felucia. Though Felucia has long been colonized, the native Felucians avoided notice by living deep in the jungle. Such seclusion was easily maintained. Even the hardiest of colonists were loath to brave the perils of the dangerous wilderness without cause.

The Felucians are an unusual, amphibious species. They are highly adapted to surviving the wilds of their home planet, and fade easily into its confusing mass of plant life. They are equally at home on land or in the water, and they traverse the swamps with ease.

All Felucians are part of a single, planetwide tribe that is broken down into smaller villages and communities, each one led by shamans and chieftains. These shamans are very strong in the Force, using it to their own ends with incredible skill.

Names

Felucian names are usually two syllables and full of hard consonants. Surnames are a combination of tribe lineage.

Male Names. Gokkuul, Kargrek, Hagark, Ruggorn

Distinctions Horizontal eye stalks, horizontal spade-shaped head, tridactyl hands

Physical Characteristics

Height 5'8" +2d10"
Weight 145 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Tython
Language Rakata

Biology and Appearance

Flesh raiders are a more primitive, and more physically imposing subspecies of rakata that mutated prior to the end of the Infinite Empire. A life above ground and in caves has led the flesh raiders to lose their more amphibian traits, and are now more humanoid in their biological needs, though they seem to only be able to digest meats and flesh.

Flesh raiders keep many of their ancestral rakatan features, though they have experienced a form of gigantism that has lead to their interesting appearance, that of a flat topped, spade shaped head, with blade-like eye stalks coming off the side ends of the spade. Their body structure also more closely matches that of a trandoshan or dashade, being bulky and imposing in stature, towering over most other sentient creatures.

Unlike contemporary rakata, flesh raiders did not lose their ability to tap into the Force.

Society and Culture

Flesh raiders are known to form small clan structures, with a war boss in charge of the clan. Those flesh raiders who are born Force-sensitive can be found imitating a temple structure, with a powerful Force-sensitive, usually from another species, leading them.

Flesh raiders still speak the rakatan language, though it has developed into a cruder variant.

Names

Flesh raider names tend to be short and concise, embodying strength and virility. Flesh raider names make no distinction between male and female names. Surnames are clan-based, though they are rarely used.

First Names. Cha'nagh, Fashk, Gorshh, Keshk, Mar'govrok

Surnames. Ban, Fel, Kuir, Penk, Teeshk

Flesh Raider Traits

As a flesh raider, you have the following special traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Wisdom or Charisma score increases by 1.

Age. Flesh raiders reach adulthoood by 20 and rarely live longer than 90 years.

Alignment. Flesh raiders' propensity towards war and aggression cause them to tend toward chaotic dark side, though there are exceptions.

Size. Flesh raiders typically stand between 6 and 7 feet tall and weigh around 200 lb. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Aggressive. As a bonus action, you can move up to your speed toward an enemy of your choice that you can see or hear. You must end this move closer to the enemy than you started.

Cannibalize. If you spend at least 1 minute devouring the corpse of a beast or humanoid, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of one). Once you've used this feature, you must complete a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Darkvision. You have a keen eyesight, especially in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Force Contention. Due to their unique physiology, flesh raider hardiness allows them to overcome use of the Force. You have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws against force powers.

Menacing. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Hunters. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Survival) check to hunt for food, you are considered to have expertise in the Survival skill.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Rakata. Rakata is characterized by its deep tones and simplistic nature, using mainly consonants and long vowels. It's script seems to be a very ancient form of Galactic Basic.

Physical Characteristics

Height 4'1" +2d10"
Weight 75 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Gand
Language Gand

Biology and Appearance

Gand are sentient, stocky humanoids whose insectoid bodies are covered in a chitinous exoskeleton. The natural armor allow the Gand to shrug off injuries that would cripple most other species. The exoskeleton provides extra protection in the clavicle region, which prevented most nerve or pressure-point strikes to the neck and shoulders. In addition, Gands have the remarkable ability to regrow lost limbs. If a Gand is dismembered, it can regrow a lost limb in a few days.

Society and Culture

Gand society places heavy importance on the achievements of an individual and holds that an individual has no name, and thus no worth, until he or she proves otherwise. The speech patterns of Gands utilize third-person self-reference within each level of identity earned. Young or unproven Gands are all
called "Gand," as they are considered merely aspects
of the same whole. Major accomplishments earn the
use of a family surname. Mastering a skill, such as
becoming a findsman, allows for the use of the given
name, all with third-person self-reference. This manner
of speaking is common within the spoken and written
Gand language but is more predominant when a Gand
speaks Basic; it is often a source of amusement to
outsiders.

Names

Until a Gand has earned the use of a name, they go simply by the term "Gand." Gand speak in the third person and refer to themselves by name. Often, when a Gand feels shamed, they will stop referring to themselves by their name and revert to calling themselves "Gand" until they prove themselves again. Male and female names are not distinct.

First Names. C'nyir, Dash, Iglid, Kyuffax, T'rix

Surname. Diqlu, Krakee, Praafri, Quudya, Zooq

Gand Traits

As a Gand, you have the following special traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Age. Gand reach adulthood when they earn their name, which is usually in their teens, and live to be about 70 on average.

Alignment. Gand tend toward no particular alignment. The best and worst are found among them.

Size. Gand stand 4 to 6 feet tall and weigh around 100 lb. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Exoskeleton. You have a thick exoskeleton. While you are unarmored or wearing light armor, your AC is 12 + your Dexterity modifier.

Gand Resilience. You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage (explained in chapter 9).

Lungless. Gand do not have lungs, and therefore do not need to breathe.

Regenerative. When you take damage, you can use your reaction and expend a Hit Die to regain hit points as long as the damage would not reduce your hit points to 0.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Gand. The Gand language does not use pronouns as Gand refer to themselves in the third person, so often Gand who speak Galactic Basic are difficult to understand.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Nar Shaddaa (possibly)
Language Gank

Biology and Appearance

The ganks are a species of fur-covered carnivores. The typical member of the species has a face that is squared-off and yellow in color, the expression trapped in a perpetual snarl that non-ganks find unattractive. Small, mean-looking eyes peer from above the maw, their head sitting atop a thick neck between broad, strong shoulders. These cap two thickset, powerful arms, which terminate in hands with five fingers each. Their heavy build affords ganks great strength, yet they are also spry runners. They augment their bodies with cybernetics, making them a species of cyborgs.

Society and Culture

Precious little is known about gank culture. The exception is that the ganks are fabled for their violent and ruthless nature; even the slightest perceived insult is enough to throw a gank into a violent rage of retaliation. Outsiders similarly know little of the organization of gank society, or whether they have any central rulers at all. What is well known was that the ganks are a war-loving and regimented species, whose members enjoy occupations that allow them to fight and shed blood, such as that of assassin, bodyguard, bounty hunter, and mercenary. They are in particular demand by the hutts, who have enough ganks on retainer to constitute a small army. Their warlike ways and physical strength ranks the ganks among the galaxy's most redoubtable fighters. The species have no compunctions about premeditated murder, which lends them the nickname "Gank Killers."

Names

Gank names do not differentiate between genders, and instead of surnames, they give themselves epithets.

Homeworld Geonosis
Language Geonosian

Biology and Appearance

Geonosians have a hard chitin exoskeleton that provided protection from physical impacts and bouts of radiation that occasionally shower their world. Geonosians are strong despite their thin builds, and are capable of constructing massive hives and factories in concert. The head of a Geonosian is elongated and large with their skulls ridged on the top and by the side where they have bulbous, thick-lidded eyes. Both are physically strong and covered with bony ridges which protected their arms, legs, and vital organs.

Society and Culture

Geonosian society is caste-based with little upward mobility, though some of the lower caste do develop ambition. Workers are conditioned to loathe even the concept of separation from their hive and the system of control. A low-ranking worker's normal life is one of endless toil and labor to satisfy the aristocracy, who are known to make spectacular demands. The warrior caste tend to be highly competitive and are eager to prove themselves. They are born with an abnormal level of intelligence, and one of their only hopes of escape from their rigid duty is entering voluntarily into gladiatorial combat. Should they survive, they are granted freedom. Ultimately, their society exist to benefit those few members that reside in the upper caste. Members of the aristocratic classes are known to be ambitious, domineering, and manipulative. They constantly move towards improving their standing and holdings while sumultaneously working to ruin their rivals.

Names

Geonosian names are usually harsh sounding. Lower castes don't get surnames. Upper caste surnames are familial.

Sociocultural Characteristics
Homeworld Yag'Dhul
Language Givin

Biology and Appearance

The Givin are a species of white-skinned, hairless humanoids who are quite frequently likened to animated skeletons. Their facial features include many sharp downward angles, large triangular eye sockets, and sloped-up brows that meet together in the middle, lending them an appearance of permanent anguish. Because of the harsh environment of their homeworld, the Givins' organs are sealed against atmospheric exposure; thanks to this complex system, they can survive for about a day in a vacuum.

Society and Culture

In order to survive their homeworld's lunar tides, the Givin became extremely adept at calculating the trajectory of their celestial bodies. Over the ages, Givin have become so skilled at celestial navigation that they are able to calculate hyperspace jumps in their heads. As such, mathematics have become a cornerstone of Givin society. Two Givin will often greet each other by exchanging complex equations for the other to solve.

Due to their profound mathematical ability, Givin are skilled starship builders and astrogators. They create some of the most impressive, complex, and sleek ships in the galaxy. However, they frequently build their ships without the presence of a navcomputer or pressurization system, and so their buyers have to add these system in the starship aftermarket.

Names

Givin names are often derived by parents from favored mathematical equations. Male and female names do not significantly differ. Surnames are familial.

First Names. Daggibus, Lersia, Na-Soth, Nisil, Sladru

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Voss
Language Gormak

Biology and Appearance

The gormak are green humanoids with flat, noseless faces adorned with frills, collecting in whorls on the sides of their heads. They have clawed, three-fingered, frilled hands, and tend to possess a muscular build. Females are slightly shorter than males and lacked a whorl located above their nose.

Society and Culture

An aggressive species, the gormak hold an innate love of warfare and competition, and are extremely hostile towards the other natives of their planet, the voss. The gormak hold a belief that in order for them to prosper, the voss, whom they view as a plague on the planet, must be destroyed. To achieve that goal, warriors have repeatedly assaulted the voss capital city over the course of centuries; however, despite their far greater numbers, their nature has kept them from uniting against their enemy. While their society and speech are considered primitive by galactic standards, their innate talent with technology rivals the top minds of the galaxy. From bits of scavenged electronics and equipment, the gormak construct advanced tools, heavy machinery, specialized weapons and even cybernetic implants. However, despite their incredible affinity for technology, the gormak remain a pre-spaceflight culture confined to their homeworld, which causes them to be viewed as a backward species despite being perfectly capable of repairing, modifying and improving tech created by more advanced cultures.

Names

Gormak are commonly named after heroes of their history by local shamans. Surnames are tribe-based, but optional.

Male Names. Damal, Henet, Wockuss, Yryu, Zenit

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Adaptive Resilience. Their innate understanding of technology allow gormak to readily adapt to its effects. You have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws against tech powers.

Aggressive. As a bonus action, you can move up to your speed toward an enemy of your choice that you can see or hear. You must end this move closer to the enemy than you started.

Claws. Your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 kinetic damage.

Technological Affinity. You have proficiency in the Technology skill, one vibroweapon and one blaster of your choice, and your choice of armstech's implements, biotech's implements, constructor's implements, mechanic's kits, or tinker's implements. Additionally, you have advantage on Intelligence (Technology) checks made to understand, utilize, or modify technology that you are unaware of or have never seen before.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Antar 4
Language Antarian

Biology and Appearance

Gotals possess cranial horns as receptors to sense electromagnetism and other energy emissions. These nerve-ending filled cones can sense the natural electromagnetic fields produced by Antar 4's magnetite-rich crust, allowing the species to operate even in total darkness. Their senses also pick up the electromagnetic auras from other life forms. When close to their hunting targets, they can ascertain information on its mood, awareness, and state of mind. Electronic devices can also be sensed by Gotals; in fact, most droids give off enough electromagnetic emissions to at least annoy a Gotal, and at worst to seriously disorient the horned beings, making them notoriously distrustful of droids. Gotals rely heavily on their cones, with their eyesight and hearing being quite weak, and their sense of smell almost completely absent.

Society and Culture

Since their natural empathy makes them instantly sensitive to the feelings of others, Gotals have little use for government or laws on their homeworld, resulting in problems when dealing with other societies. No central authority figure can speak for Antar 4 as a whole in a crisis, and no organized Gotal military or police force can act on their behalf. Other species respect the Gotals for their discretion and restraint, but some individuals fear interacting with the horned beings for fear of having their emotional state revealed to others.

Names

Gotal names are quite guttural, though there are also many harsher tones within their names. Gotal names do not vary significantly based on gender, and surnames are familial.

Kinyen boasted large and rolling grasslands and highlands, a dense and beautiful forest, and one of the longest and clearest rivers in the Bes Ber Bikade sector. The beauty of this planet, and the need for primitive Gran to band together for defense against predatory animals, helped the Gran develop strong bonds of home and family in their society.

The Grans are also very protective of their families, and were some of the most devoted parents in the galaxy. This is because of their very powerful and sensitive sight, which can sense the emotions of their mates and their children. Gran society maintains its balance by setting up strict career quotas, and making sure young Gran are educated for a specific job that best served his or her talents.

Biology and Appearance

The appearance and biological features of half-humans vary drastically by each species, but tend to fall somewhere in the middle. A common side-effect of a species interbreeding with humans is the loss of darkvision and tails.

Society and Culture

Half-humans are subjects of two separate cultures, but belong in neither. A half-human might be raised amongst humans or their other half, or might be fully ostracized, instead growing up in a remote, isolated place, removed from both species.

Traits

Half-humans gain the Defiant special trait from their human half. They also gain the special traits from their non-human half, except for those trait(s) mentioned in the Half-Human table above.

Names

Half-human names might follow human conventions, or that of the other half. Often, they blend the two in some fashion, perhaps taking a human surname, with a special name.

Half-human Traits

As a half-human, you have the following special traits.

Ability Score Increase. Half-humans gain the ability score increases of their non-human half, but they can choose any ability score for one of the options, instead of the given option. Half-humans can not increase the same ability score twice during character creation using this feature.

Age. Half-humans live around the average of the two species' lifespans.

Alignment. Half-humans tend towards their non-human half's alignment.

Size. Half-humans stand and weigh around the average of the two species' height and weight. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is the size of your non-human half.

Speed. Your base walking speed is that of your non-human half.

Defiant. Half-humans are known to be stubborn and often refuse to give up, even against the worst odds. When you or a creature you can see that can see and understand you makes an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you can roll a d4 and add it to their roll (no action required). You can use this before or after the roll, but before the GM determines the roll's outcome. Once you've used this feature, you must complete a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic, regardless of whether or not the non-human half can speak it, and the language(s) associated with your non-human half.

Harch


Visual Characteristics

Skin Color Pale pink
Hair Color Brown, black
Eye Color Red
Distinctions Spider-like with six eyes, eight limbs and chelicerae

Physical Characteristics

Height 5'5" +2d8"
Weight 150 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Secundus Ando
Language Harchese

Biology and Appearance

The Harch possess a large-fanged mouth between two prominent chelicerae, above which they have six red eyes arranged in a semicircle. The two lowest eyes are larger and roughly twice the size of the four smaller eyes. Harch walk on two legs and have six arms, with the second and third set of arm protruding from behind the first pair rather than directly above or below them. These arms are covered in thick hair and end in three-fingered hands.

The Harch are distantly related to the Aqualish
species and there is much debate among geneticists
regarding the relationship between the Harch and the
Aqualish Ualaq subspecies. However, the Harch
themselves considered such discussions to be
obscene.

Society and Culture

Not much is known about the Harch, as few of them have mingled with the galactic community, preferring to stay on Secundus Ando. Harch that leave the planet tend to have a more aspirant nature than their fellows, and often reach great heights in their chosen professions in the galaxy. Such Harch are considered outliersómost apparently care little for titles.

Like the Arcona species, female Harch are seen as more domineering and aggressive than their male counterparts. It is not unheard of for a male Harch to raise entire broods of hatchlings alone.

Names

Harch names are not gender-specific. Harch do not use surnames.

Names. Cubach, Quixoch, Trench, Turch

Harch Traits

As a Harch, you have the following special traits:

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision. You have a keen eyesight, especially in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Bite. Your fangs are a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 kinetic damage. Lastly, as a bonus action, you can perform a special bite attack. On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and it must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, the target is poisoned until the end of its next turn, and you can't use this feature again until you complete a short or long rest.

Six-Armed. Harch have six arms which they can use independently of one another. You can only gain the benefit of items held by two of your arms at any given time, and once per round you can switch which arms you are benefiting from (no action required).

Spider Climb. You have a climbing speed of 30 feet. You have advantage on Strength saving throws and Strength (Athletics) checks that involve climbing, and while climbing you always have two hands free.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Harchese. Harchese is discernible from other insectoid languages by a noticeable emphasis on consonants, especially the "ch" sound.

Herglics have an inquisitive but practical nature, enjoying travel and having exotic experiences. Their perpetually calm demeanor helps them interact with most other species peacefully, though when dealing with smaller species, herglics tend to become nervous and self-conscious about their proportions. They also seem to have an innate predilection for gambling and games of chance, which have gotten more than one herglic into trouble on several occasions.

Homeworld Lijuter
Language Houkese

Biology and Appearance

Houk are hulking bipeds with thick skin, hairless heads marked with bony ridges and a pronounced brow, flabby jowls, beady yellow eyes, and no visible ears or nose. They are very powerful due to their large bulk of pure muscle.

Society and Culture

The houk have well-earned reputations as bullies, cheaters, and backstabbers. They are often compared to wookiees because of their great strength and violent disposition. Houk are humorless, short-tempered beings who use their strength to antagonize weaker beings. Their propensity for deceit and skulduggery is matched only by the hutts. Though their tempers are not as explosive as those of wookiees, houk are known for their tendency to solve problems violently. In politics, they will often wage war without formal declarations, negotiate in bad faith, and ignore treaties. Though this preference for violence tend to cause the houk problems in dealing with other societies, it often gets them what they want. Surprisingly though, in personal combat, houk prefer to use stealth rather than direct confrontation. This gives them a reputation for deceit and cowardice. However, just as each houk colony has a different culture and government, houk individuals have varied personalities. Though all houk come from a culture with high levels of corruption and violence, many houk are hard workers who have learned to get along with other sentients. The houk produce little technology of their own, though they adapt themselves to the standard technology of the rest of the galaxy.

Powerful Build. Your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift doubles. If it would already double, it instead triples.

Surprise Attack. If you surprise a creature and hit it with an attack on your first turn in combat, the attack deals an extra 2d6 damage to it. You can use this trait only once per combat.

Toughness. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Houkese. Houkese is mainly formed by grunts, with subtle tonal inflections to differentiate words that would otherwise sound the same.

Biology and Appearance

Hutts are a massive slug-like species who have large mouths and stubby arms. They have three lungs and thick leathery skin, which is wrinkled and slimy. Hutts often have watery eyes and lack facial expressions. Their tails are supported by a skeletal spine. Despite their legendary size, hutts start out as tiny huttlets less than half a foot in height, and continually grow over the long lives.

Society and Culture

Most hutts are crime lords who live opulent lives overseeing criminal underworld activities like spice smuggling, slavery, gambling and bounty hunting. This is not true for all, however, as some eschew the life of a decadent, obese version of their species and prefer a more mobile existence. Hutt society is divided into families known as kajidics, a social structure that is both familial and a crime gang.

Hutts are encouraged to make a name for themselves around the age of 150 while simultaneously not threatening the welfare of the clan. At around 200, they will likely stop being saved by the clan and encouraged even further to fend for themselves while benefiting the kajidic; they may even be granted a star system or two. Nomadic or kajidic-less hutts are often hunted or killed by other hutts in fear of the nomad coming to claim a territory.

Names

Hutt names with a suffix title as "the Hutt" are usually reserved for noteworthy huts, with the name of a hutt's kajidic coming before the title. Because hutts are hermaphroditic, choosing a gender at will, their names are considered androgynous.

First Names. Arok, Gorga, Jabba, Mama, Ziro,

Alignment. Hutts are selfish, greedy, and highly organized, causing them to tend toward chaotic dark side, though there are exceptions.

Size. Hutts have a unique special characteristic; from birth to death, they never stop growing. As an adolescent hutt, you typically stand between 6 and 7 feet tall and weigh at least 400 lb. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 20 feet.

Closed Mind. Hutt brains have an unusual composition which made them resistant to influence from the Force. You have advantage on Wisdom and Charisma saving throws against force powers.

Natural Resistance. You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage (explained in chapter 9).

Powerful Build. Your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift doubles. If it would already double, it instead triples.

Prehensile Tail. You have supreme control over your tail and can use it to manipulate objects as well as your hands.

Shrewd Demeanor. You have proficiency in two Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma skills of your choice.

Slow and Lethargic. Hutts are slow and generally incapable of moving quickly. You have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, and when determining your bonus to AC from your Dexterity, you can't add more than +3.

Wealthy. During character creation, you start with additional credits equal to your level x your proficiency bonus x 1,000 cr.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Huttese. Hutts rarely speak Galactic Basic, even though they are perfectly able; if the person with whom they are speaking doesn't understand Huttese, they are more likely to use an interpretor than deign to speak the language of lesser species.

Physical Characteristics

Height 6'4" +2d10"
Weight 110 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Kaller
Language Kall

Biology and Appearance

Kallerans evolved from a semi-amphibious species on Kaller. Kallerans are tall and flexible; their hands and feet have three prehensile digits on each, which leeds kallerans to avoid wearing shoes or boots. The majority of kallerans have green skin patterned with distinctive black stripes. The species have dense muscles that assist them in the protection of their otherwise delicate bodies. The kalleran head is distinguished by fin-like folds on the tops and sides of their faces. These fins augment a kalleran's hearing, allowing sound to bounce back and be picked up by the two antenna crowning their head. These antenna are sensory organs that serve as olfactory and aural receptors. Kallerans have lungs adapted to breathe above water, though the majority of their respiration is done through their skin. A holdover from their amphibious past, their skin can draw oxygen in from the air and filter out carbon dioxide. Their respiratory system requires them to consume more water than other species their size to keep their skin moist and supple. Because they do not primarily breathe through their mouths, kallerans did not evolve noses.

Through the development and mastery of selective breeding, genetics, and cloning, the kaminoans were able to overcome a cataclysm that pushed them to the brink of extinction.

Kaminoans live in a caste based society, determined by the color of the kaminoan's eyes. Gray eyed individuals handle administration and are considered of the highest-level caste; middle castes had yellow eyes and handle the skilled work; and lower castes had blue eyes and perform manual labor and other menial tasks. Although it is extremely rare, kaminoans are sometimes born with green eyes. Those are viewed as genetically inferior and as a threat to the kaminoans' well ordered society and as such are exterminated shortly after birth.

Biology and Appearance

A humanoid sentient species, Lasats are notable for their impressive height, strength, and agility, with their muscular digitigrade legs enabling them to run faster, jump higher and farther, and move more quietly than humans. Their large finger pads and prehensile toes assist them in climbing. In addition, their large eyes and ears afford them superior sight and hearing over humans. They had the strength to open a powered-down blast door. A height of two meters tall was considered below-average for a Lasat.

Society and Culture

Lasat society is held together by a long-standing oral tradition, featuring clever and stealthy heroes.

of Lira San. Bo-rifles are a long-standing tradition in
Lasat culture, used exclusively by the Honor Guard of
Lasan. The warrior way of the Lasat is the Boosahn
Keeraw. When a Lasat is bested by a superior

Homeworld Mygeeto, Maridun
Language Lurmese

Biology and Appearance

Lurmen's bodies are covered entirely in fur, which range in color from a dark brown to a white-gray, though they do wear garments. They can walk either upright on their two legs, and can also use their arms and legs for faster movement. Many lurmen have the ability to roll themselves into a wheeled shape; this allows them to cover distances at great speed. They may have learned this ability from the native amani on Maridun.

Society and Culture

The lurmen use fallen seedpods from the giant trees as shelter and home. Living near the trees proves too dangerous, as the falling pods can be deadly. Instead, the lurmen drag the pods into a clearing and use them as huts. They also extract essential oils from the pods for nutrition and healing medicines. Most lurmen are pacifistic by nature and refuse to fight or run even in the face of death. They often will hide instead of using violence. As pacifists, they carry no weapons but carry farming tools or ropes. The greatest native threat to the lurmen are the amani and the mastiff phalones, raptor-headed quadrupeds that hunted in groups. However, even in defeating these beasts the lurmen attempt to remain true to their pacifist ideals, and not inflict any injury to the creatures. Instead, when cornered by a mastiff phalone, an agile lurmen will try to unbalance the creature by tying a rope around its stout legs.

Names

Lurmen names are sharp and made up of a single syllable. Instead of surnames, lurmen are granted additional names based on their importance to the village. Common lurmen possess one name, with leaders having as many as four.

Visual Characteristics

Homeworld Korriban, Yavin 4 (adopted)
Language Sith

Biology and Appearance

The warrior caste of the sith purebloods, the massassi have genetically turned into the perfect warrior. While some looked like their sith pureblood brothers, others have more extreme physical differences, including fin-like growths, a taller form and tough skin. These imposing figures live much shorter lives than other species. They, like the few other creatures that inhabit Korriban, derive sustenance directly from the dark side of the Force, in part of a natural symbiotic relationship where sithólike the massassiófeed on the dark side, and empower it in turn. Thus the massassi have such a high rate of Force-sensitivity that they are considered a naturally Force-sensitive species.

Society and Culture

The massassi are fearsome, ruthless, and efficient soldiers. As with the sith, war and violence are just as much a part of the natural order of life as peace or serenity for the massassi. They are not only fearsome, but both loyal and formidable warriors that are dedicated to their sith masters. Though they engage in supposedly primitive practices such as sacrifice and hold a strong caste system, their civilization is quite sophisticated. In addition to the focus on war and fighting, the massassi are also loyal and organized. Even though they are not extremely intelligent, they can be trained to carry out complex battle plans and maintain their equipment, starships, and weaponry.

Names

Originating from the pureblood sith, massassi abominations follow many similiar naming conventions. Their names represent primitive virtues in the Sith tongue, and have no surname.

Hide. You have a thick hide. While you are unarmored or wearing light armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Oversized. Lightweapons and vibroweapons that lack the dexterity or light property are considered to have the heavy property for you. The strength number for blasters is reduced by one step (from 19 to 17, 17 to 15, 15 to 13, or 13 to 11). If the strength number is 11, you ignore it entirely.

Powerful Build. Your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift doubles. If it would already double, it instead triples.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Mikkia
Language Mikkian

Biology and Appearance

Mikkians are a species of brightly colored humanoids. The mikkians' most distinctive feature are their motile head-tendrils, with the number, form, and pattern varying between individuals. These head-tendrils primarily serve as sensory organs, particularly detecting sound as a replacement for an ear common in other species. Mikkian head-tendrils also could detect other information, such as humidity, temperature, magnetic direction and radiation. This radiation detection can be detected to the extent that mikkians can "see" light and dark, although their eyes are still their primary visual organs.

Society and Culture

Mikkians place kinship and integrity above all. In fact, their honesty can come across as blunt or even rude to other sentients. Conversely, mikkians often have trouble adjusting to the more flexible views of other races. Their complex code of honor encompass all things in life, with a particular insistance on matters of warfare. Although they respect warrior traditions, the Mikkians nevertheless value discipline and honor over victory or physical might.

Different religious traditions exist among the Mikkians, but belief in the Force plays a central role in all of them. In Mikkian society, their head-tendrils have important cultural significance, and as such tendril-reading is used by Mikkian mystics to predict their future. Every facet of the head-tendril contributes to that meaning.

Names

Mikkian names are often short and disyllabic, with a melodic quality to them. Mikkians typically don't use surnames, though some may adopt them.

Biology and Appearance

The Miraluka are a near-human species that differs from Humans in that they lack eyes, only retaining vestigial eye sockets, and perceive the environment around them through force sight instead of regular vision. This vision is so strong that if a Miraluka looks upon a Jedi or Sith, they can "see" Force radiating off them. The strength of a Miraluka's connection to the Force varies by individual.

Society and Culture

Miraluka are a thoughtful, cautious, and deliberative species. They have little interest in personal gain or glory. For social reasons, Miraluka hide their appearance by wearing a headband, a mask, or similar concealing headwear. In addition all Miraluka are very united by species. They call themselves "brothers" and are considered as members of a great family. As a Force-using species, Miraluka are often quite shocked if 'shown' life not connected to the Force.

Many Miraluka worship two gods, Ashla and Bogan, through the philosophy of the Greater Force. They do not believe in good or evil, but were taught to accept both life and death.

Miraluka Force-sensitives are an order of their own called the Luka Sene. Academic in atmosphere and culture, the Luka Sene focus primarily on developing the sense-related powers of their members. However, unlike the Jedi, Sith and other traditions, the Luka Sene does not dictate a member's personal life.

Homeworld Mirial
Language Mirialan

Biology and Appearance

Mirialans are a near-human species native to the planet Mirial. They have green to yellow skin and tattoos on their faces. The Mirialans are known for their spirituality and strong connection with the world around them. Mirialans are very flexible and agile, making them fast and formidable foes.

Society and Culture

The Mirialan people are deeply religious and practice a primitive understanding of the Force. They believe
each individual's actions contribute to their destiny,
building upon past successes and failures to drive
them towards their fates. Within their belief system
was the view that individual actions ripple through the
Force, also affecting the destiny of the species as a
whole.

A Mirialan often places a unique, geometrically repeated tattoo on their face and hands to signify that they have completed a certain test or task, or achieved sufficient aptitude for a certain skill. The number of tattoos often acts as a good indicator of how mature and/or skilled a Mirialan was. Because the more markings brings about a form of status, Mirialan society is stratified and allows the heavily marked citizens to access greater opportunities. Despite its importance, most Mirialans do not know the entirety of the tattoo lexicon due to its complexity. The interaction between placement and positioning of the shapes is incredibly subtle and changes their meaning greatly.

Mirialan names are typically concise and rarely more than two syllables. Surnames are familial.

Homeworld Mustafar
Language Mustafarian

Biology and Appearance

Mustafarians are an insectoid species of sentients native to the volcanic planet of Mustafar. They are divided into two subspecies: the lanky northern mustafarians, and the stocky southern mustafarians. The southern mustafarians were notable for their greater strength, making them more suited to manual labor. Both subspecies shared many traits, particularly their hardened exoskeletons and leathery skin, which acclimated them to the extreme heat of their volcanic environment.

Society and Culture

Mustafarians evolved from arthropods living in the slightly cooler hollows within dormant volcanoes on the surface of Mustafar. As a result of such close living, mustafarian culture is isolationist by nature, though they tolerate trade with other systems. Mustafar hosts scarce minerals and rare metals, making mustafarians an invaluable trade partner.

Native mustafarians rarely take sides when galactic conflicts rage, instead preferring to keep to themselves and control their own planet. They are daunting enemies when provoked, however.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Neimoidia
Language Pak Pak

Biology and Appearance

Neimoidians are distant genetic relatives of the duros and retain many similarities to them, including basic form, noseless faces, and green-blue skin (though neimoidians tend to be grayer). Their eyes also have pupils that split horizontally, and they are distinguished by small lumps on their foreheads and down-turned mouths. Instead of noses, they have olfactory glands underneath their eyes. These genetic differences are attributed to the distinct features of their homeworld, Neimoidia, including its gravity, which is markedly heavier than duro.

Society and Culture

Neimoidians spend their formative years as puny grubs in the communal hives of Neimoidia, until the age of seven standard years. They are knowingly neglected by being given limited amounts of food. This way, the weaker individuals are weeded out, while the most acquisitive grubs hoard more food than they can eat by themselves. Neimoidian education ensures the survival of the greediest. Neimoidians place tremendous value on wealth and material possessions, and would go to great lengths to gain money and power. This has resulted in a stereotype of neimoidians being greedy and cowardly. While not all neimoidians are easily intimidated, many prefer to avoid direct combat.

Names

Neimoidian names are usually short and easy to pronounce, to make them more memorable to other species that approach them as consumers. Their surnames are familial.

Physical Characteristics

Height 4'9" +2d6"
Weight 90 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Kintan
Language Nikto, Huttese

Biology and Appearance

Nikto are reptilian humanoids that are noted for their leathery skin. They hold a limited range of facial expressions because they lack the necessary anatomical infrastructure. Their eyes are covered by a protective membrane, being a thin transparent pellicle that protects their eyes underwater and during windstorms. As a result, they are noted for their "staring" eyes and a seemingly blank expression which leads to many underestimating nikto intelligence.

Society and Culture

Although lacking in personal charisma, nikto posses a single-minded tenacity that makes them excellent followers. Their lives made nikto cunning combatants. Most nikto are content with a life of servitude as in their eyes a life in slavery was preferable to the hardship and toil on their homeworld. Not all nikto work for the hutts though most free members of their kind were formerly enslaved. Whilst nikto are known to escape from their master, most tend to fall into service of another hutt who "inherited" them according to custom should their previous employer die. However, some escaped nikto did instead use some opportunities to genuinely become free beings. Any such emancipated nikto have to be constantly on guard as they risked capture by hutt-employed slavers who return their prey to their "rightful owners".

Language Honoghran

Biology and Appearance

Noghri are a primitive humanoid species hailed from the planet Honoghr with steely gray-blue skin that are renowned assassins. A natural gift for stealth and
hand-to-hand combat, Noghri are efficient killing
machines with their rending claws and strong olfactory
sense that can often determine familial lineage. Their smaller size belies their ruthlessness and potent
hunting skills.

Society and Culture

Noghri culture relies heavily on honor, with society being clan-based, revolving around the Dukha, a community center in each village. The greatest strength of the Noghri stems from their loyalty and secrecy; when a Noghri takes a job, they always fulfill it, even if it would result in their death. As such, they make exceptional, albeit expensive bodyguards.

Noghri are loathe to fight with weapons larger than small daggers, believing combat to be a personal celebration to be sullied by use of heavier weapons. As such, it is rare (though not impossible) to see a Noghri wielding a weapon larger than their forearm.

Each Noghri clan village centers around the Dukha, with each clan being led by a Dynast. The Dukha is inhabited by the clan's Maitrakh, who functions as the storyteller, spiritual leader, and lore keep of the clan.

Homeworld Nothoiin
Language Notho

Biology and Appearance

Near-humans possessing golden, flaky skin, nothoiins feature fair to brown hair with brown eyes and typically have physical heights and builds common to humans. Nothoiins' appearance has earned their species the nickname of "Goldskins."

Society and Culture

Although nothoiins hail from their eponymous homeworld and star system in the Anoat Sector, they are ubiquitous throughout the Greater Javin Region and Corporate Sectors. Their history of interstellar exploration and colonization was facilitated by their species' natural spacefaring abilities in both piloting and navigation and necessitated by their home planet's periodically harsh, dry climate. Droughts on Nothoiin can last for decades, and the wildfires they foster have served as one of the primary factors behind the limited development of the planet's economy beyond the ur-diamond mining industry, which produces the system's chief export.

Large-scale emigration from Nothoiin has led members of its native species to seek careers as pilots, navigators, and operatives in numerous criminal enterprises. Various nothoiin colonies have given rise to a number of different governmental systems running the gamut from representative democracies to autocracies.

Names

Nothoiin typically receive a gendered given name and a familial surname.

You can use this before or after the roll, but before the GM determines the roll's outcome. Once you've used this feature, you must complete a short or long rest before you can use it again.

four chubby fingers and a thumb, which is not
opposable. A thick, baggy hide covered in fuzz
resembling velvet hangs off of the Ortolan body.
Ortolans have a keen sense of smell to help them
forage for food. In fact, they are handicapped in their
business affairs by their attachment to food,
sometimes accepting otherwise unfavorable contracts
when promised enough to eat. Their twin obsessions
are food and music; offworld, many Ortolans find
success as chefs or musicians.

Society and Culture

Ortolan society is reasonably industrialised, though not as technologically advanced as other species. Despite this, their economy is mostly based on barter, with credits primarily used to trade with offworlders. Education is the responsibility of their parents, though gifted youngsters are often traded to other families to get specialized education.

While most Ortolans appear to have blue skin, Ortolans are actually covered in short velvety fur which they often dyed in bright colors, most often blue and pink. This tradition began when a Devaronian trader tried to sell Ortolans a shipment of food dyesóthey considered dyeing their food a waste of time, but found dyed fur to be quite stylish.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Pantora
Language Pantoran

Biology and Appearance

Pantorans are a sentient species native to Pantora, a moon orbiting the planet Orto Plutonia. At first glance, they only differ from the otherwise similar humans in their blue skin and yellow eyes. The pantorans share many traits with other blue-skinned races, especially the wroonians, and, to a lesser extent, the chiss. The pantorans also seem to have a greater resilience to low temperatures than humans, since they only needed light wardrobe even under extreme cold weather conditions.

Society and Culture

Pantoran society developed on Pantora, a world located in a region flush with slavers and spice merchants. Constant run-ins with these types led the pantorans to become fiercely independent and proud. While the pantoran society is democratic, the feudal traditions of marking their foreheads, and cheeks with yellow markings to symbolize lineage persists into the common era. These traditions spurred a cultural interest in genealogy and history, and many pantorans cherish relics from the past such as jewelry which connect them to their noble ancestors or helmets that belonged to great heroes of a bygone age. The old nation states of Pantora are unified under a democratic planetary government, the politics of which are considered an art form. Governed by the Pantoran Assembly, the elected body is led by a Speaker, who balance the power of the chief executive officer, known as the Chairman.

Names

Pantoran use sophisticated names with numerous vowels, though often sound similar human names.

Political Guile. You are proficient in Persuasion or Deception (your choice).

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Pantoran. Pantoran comprises many dialects that prevent clear communication, a vestige of the feudal culture of the planet's past.

Homeworld Patrolia
Language Patrolian

Biology and Appearance

Patrolians are fish-like in appearance, covered in pale, pastel-colored scales and possessing numerous fins on their long limbs and face, as well as a notable dorsal fin which often require modified clothing to accommodate.

Thanks to their gills, patrolians are perfectly comfortable breathing underwater as well as on land, and their physiology is also notoriously resistant to electric shocksóboth likely throwbacks to evolution on their native homeworld of Patrolia.

Society and Culture

Patrolians are a notably innovative and resourceful species, and many of their number have found their way into roles in the construction, maintenance and sale of technology.

Unfortunately, patrolians tend to pursue these businesses in a shady manner, and most tend to operate such ventures in the criminal underworld, working as bounty hunters, thieves, fences, slicers and other such technically-demanding criminal roles.

This inclination towards crime stems from their homeworld, which is perpetually stalled in a state of economic decay due to wartime. With the advent of multiple wars fought in the system, different armies continue to see the aquatic world as a strategic bulwark in the region. Because of this, patrolians have to find work not only off-world, but typically in fields not falling under governmental purview; unfortunately, criminal activities are the most common path.

Names

Patrolian names are usually multisyllabic and sing-songy with lots of open vowels and few fricatives. Patrolians are not known to use family names or other surnames.

Specialist. You have proficiency in one specialist's kit of your choice.

Homeworld Utapau
Language Utapese

Biology and Appearance

Pau'ans have large, sunken black eyes in red eye sockets and jagged, fang-like teeth used for tearing into raw meat, as they are carnivores. The species has pale, wrinkled skin, due to the fact that they lived in the sinkholes of Utapau, giving them limited access to light. These traits cause some to view them as frightening. However, Pau'ans as a society are generally friendly, and are happy to welcome guests to their often overlooked world. Pau'ans have long lifespans, living up to 700 years, much longer than the Utai. This earned them the nickname of "Ancients".

Society and Culture

Pau'ans fulfill most of the governmental and administrative duties on Utapau, as the utai do not desire such work, serving as laborers instead. Most pau'ans served as leaders early in their lives, often managing teams of Utai laborers. This gives them experience that will be used later in their lives. Pau'ans are kind leaders, and sympathetic to their subordinates. Each city on Utapau is controlled by a Master of Port Administration, a hereditary title reserved for pau'ans. These administrators are assisted by advisory councils for making important decisions about their city, and each administrator serves on the Utapauan Committee and oversees planetary governance. However, the committee rarely makes crucial decisions, as the cities are able to function on their own most of the time.

Whenever you make a Wisdom (Perception) check involving hearing, you are considered to have expertise in the Perception skill, but if your hearing aids are removed, you have disadvantage on saving throws against effects that would deal sonic damage.

Vigilant. You can choose to have advantage on your next Initiative check. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Quarren find Humans to be very crude beings and think Galactic Basic to be very cumbersome and unsuitable for speech. The Quarren instead speak their native language more frequently.

The Quarren are conservative and practical in their thinking, yet they reminisce more than they look to the future. The Quarren are isolationist, preferring to stay in the depths of the oceans of their homeworld. However, some Quarren make their living in the galaxy as business managers and accountants. The Quarren diligently mine metal ore from the deepest parts of the ocean, where they live deep beneath the waves. Their cities stretch far below the surface.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Quermia
Language Quermian

Biology and Appearance

Created by arkanian scientists from the DNA of the xexto species, the quermians were designed to be taller than their fore-bearers and were left to evolve without any predators on their terraformed garden homeworld. Equipped with long necks for peering over vegetation mats, bulbous heads with a permanently bemused smile, and two sets of spindly arms, they also have two brains, one located in the chest cavity. Their two brains can cause mental problems when each brain developed a different personality, but also gives them a type of "telepathy" which they attribute to an ability to better observe and understand body language. Possessing no noses, the olfactory glands of this species are found in the hands.

Society and Culture

Quermians are a gentle, unassuming people. They embrace reason, shun violence, and enjoy interacting with members of other species and cultures. A peaceful society developed on Quermia without arkanian interference, as the quermians evolved on their own in the absence of any predators or outside intervention. As a race they are dedicated to complex philosophical ideas, and many of the galaxy's most prominent diplomats and thinkers are found among their ranks. While they have four arms and are capable of using both sets with ease, they prefer to keep the lower set hidden beneath their robes when dealing with offworlders.

Two Brains. When you make a Wisdom saving throw, you can use your reaction to gain advantage on the roll. Once you've done so, you must complete a short or long rest before you can do so again.

Watchful. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Quermian. You can also communicate with other quermians more effectively through a thorough understanding of body language that xenobiologists widely attribute to latent telepathy.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Lehon
Language Rakata

Biology and Appearance

In appearance, rakata are smooth skinned amphibian-like humanoids that had tall craniums along with eyes that protruded from each side of their heads on short stalks. These bipedal beings have three digit hands that are tipped with claws for digging through packed dirt. As a species, they are uniformly lean and tall; while most rakata have a similar height and weight, females tend to be more slender than males, though just as tall. Rakata are primarily carnivorous, likely stemming from the fact that they are cannibalistic, often making a meal of other species.

Long term abuse of the Force in their society, exacerbated by a plague, culled the rakata's ability to sense the Force.

Society and Culture

Rakatan technology and structures hold the unique property of blending with the Force, creating powerful and long-lasting monuments that are almost impossibly to replicate. Rakatan society is devoted to conquering and enslaving those they deem weak. At the height of its power, the Rakatan Infinite Empire had conquered and enslaved dozens of worlds. They would strip entire planets of their resources and then terraform them to fit their own needs.

After a plague ravaged their civilization and caused the fall of the Infinite Empire, rakata broke off into smaller tribes rather than a unified organization. Despite their newfound tribal nature, rakata retained their ability to quickly adapt to and appropriate technology.

Amphibious. You can breathe air and water.

Cannibalize. If you spend at least 1 minute devouring the corpse of a beast or humanoid, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier. Once you've used this feature, you must complete a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Claws. Your claws are a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 kinetic damage.

Darkvision. You have a keen eyesight, especially in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Swim. You have a swimming speed of 30 feet.

Technician. You are proficient in the Technology skill.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Rakata. Rakata is characterized by its deep tones and simplistic nature, using mainly consonants and long vowels. It's script seems to be a very ancient form of Galactic Basic.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Rattatak
Language Rattataki

Biology and Appearance

The Rattataki are a near-human species characterized by their nimble movements, chalk-white skin and oft-bald heads. Virtually isolated from the rest of the galaxy, the Rattataki developed a violent society on their home planet of Rattatak, which involves extensive gladiatorial combat.

Society and Culture

While most other inhabitants of Rattatak came from the Unknown Regions, there are a significant number of off-worlder mercenaries who come to Rattatak from time to time, likely to view or participate in gladiatorial combat, only to be stranded there permanently. The remarkably harsh conditions on the planet nearly drove its population to extinction. For eons, the Rattataki constantly battled amongst themselves and their fellow inhabitants (represented primarily by Humans, Zabraks, Siniteens, Vollick, and Weequay) over the planet's limited resources. Despite being nearly completely isolated from the outside galaxy, the Rattataki displayed remarkable initiative and continually created new ways to kill each other.

Rattataki culture is bloody and unforgiving. Punishment for even the smallest crimes is unnecessarily harsh, which does little to quell that behavior. In fact, Rattataki who are known to commit crimes without being caught are celebrated.

Names

Rattataki names are harsh sounding and short. Surnames are familial, though many Rattataki abandon them in favor of self-aggrandizing titles.

Eye Color Brown or yellow
Distinctions Sound mimicry, enhanced hearing and sight

Physical Characteristics

Height 4'2" +2d12"
Weight 60 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Rishi
Language Rishii

Biology and Appearance

Rishii are a sentient, avian species of carnivores which possess two legs ending in four-toed feet, two arms, a tail, and a head. The species' two arms consist of feathered wings ending in nimble humanoid hands, capable of manipulating tools. The wings grant the Rishii the ability to fly at great speeds, which is their method of travel equivalent to running in land-based species. A Rishii's head contained a beak between two yellow eyes framed by a large brow. Rishii were capable of mimicking anything said to them perfectly, and also possessed extremely strong senses, particularly hearing and sight.

Society and Culture

Native to the planet Rishi, the Rishii live in loose primitive tribes, known as nests, clustered high upon the planet's mountains, away from the hot and humid lowland swamps. Each nest consists of a small number of family units led by a chieftain, with neighbouring nests respecting each others territories and living in harmony. This peaceful and accepting attitude goes beyond just other Rishii and was extended to all neighbours of a nest, including the many other species who colonise the lowlands of Rishi. Due to the unfavorable conditions found in the lowlands, the native avians do not understand the off-worlders' choice to live there, but were not opposed to their presence.

Names

As with much of their speech, Rishii names include clicks, trills, and whistles to the point that other peoples have a difficult time pronouncing them. Typically, a name has two to four syllables with the sounds acting as connectors. Rishii names do not vary based on gender. Rishii are responsive to nicknames given by outsiders.

Rishii Traits

As a rishii, you have the following special traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Age. Rishii reach adulthood at 10 and generally live no longer than 60 years.

Size. Rishii range from 4 to 6 feet tall and generally weigh less than 130 lb. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Flight. You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. While wearing medium or heavy armor, your flying speed is reduced by half.

Keen Hearing and Sight. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or sight.

Mimicry. You can mimic sounds you have heard, including voices. A creature that hears the sounds you make can tell they are imitations with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check opposed by your Charisma (Deception) check.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Rishii. Rishii's clicks, trills, and whistles are difficult for outsiders to learn without the aid of a protocol droid, and so Rishii often feel comfortable speaking to eachother in the language in front of others.

Biology and Appearance

Their homeworld long lost from memory and time, the ryn are a humanoid race of musicians, vagabonds and travelers. The ryn's bodies are covered in soft, short fur, with a head of white hair which is matched by a tuft of hair at the end of their long prehensile tails, excellent for grasping things. Very uniquely ryn in nature, are their beak-like noses that contain fluted holes. These holes allow the ryn to play their 'beaks' like flutes. This talent has been used to communicate between ryn and has uniquely been observed in communication with droids.

Society and Culture

Wanderlust consumes the ryn. The ryn are a nomadic species, their original homeworld forgotten, even to them. They cannot abide confinement and constraint, and they itch to move on shortly after they arrive in a new place. Due to their homelessness, musical talent, natural secrecy, and avoidance of written records, ryn developed a nomadic culture and a reputation for confidence games, leaving many species prejudiced against them. In some sectors it is legal to enslave or hunt ryn. Their language is outlawed in many locations, and a large number of ryn women are used as slave breeding stock. They claim that sabaac, the popular card game that took the place of Pazaak in terms of card game prominence, is derived from their use of it as a fortune telling tool in their auguries. These auguries are today favored by hutts, who have a superstitious belief in the card tellings. A peculiar habit is that a ryn cannot sleep in the same location twice.

The Selkath are an aquatic species, known for being skilled swimmers and diplomats. Their heads resemble sting rays and they have a blue, pink, or green skin naturally patterned as an underwater camouflage. Their mouths are bracketed by cephalic lobes. Female Selkath differed from males due to the presence of tendrils on the back of their heads.

All members of the Selkath race have rectractable, venom-tipped claws. The use of these claws in any form of combat or attack was considered dishonorable and a sign of madness; to do this was to give in to animal instincts unbecoming of a sentient species. Because of the Selkath's water-dwelling nature, their chest armors were fitted with misting vents in order to keep their skin moist.

Society & Culture

Selkath are native to the planet Manaan, the only naturally occurring source of the medical liquid referred to as kolto. The Selkath have leveraged this monopoly on maintain their neutrality, peddling their invaluable healing supplies to all comers.

Manaan is an ocean planet is home to only one above-surface settlement, the floating Ahto City, built directly above Hrakert Rift, the most abundant source of kolto on Manaan.

The selonians are carnivores who are believed to have descended from aquatic mammals. Their bodies are covered by a sleek fur and they normally do not wear clothing. However, when working or visiting offworld, they wear appropriate outfits. Their long bodies are equally comfortable walking on either two or four legs. Their long tails serve as a counterbalance for their bodies when standing upright. These tails are equally capable of being used as potent bludgeoning weapons in combat. At the end of their paw-like hands are retractable claws which not only gives them the capacity to dig but also makes them excellent climbers. They have long pointed faces with bristly whiskers as well as long teeth. Most selonians born are infertile females. One in every hundred are male, and one in every five hundred are fertile females.

Society and Culture

Despite the massive starship traffic to Corellia, many visitors and even native Corellians know very little of the selonians and their distinctive unique alien culture. In mindset, they are a thoroughly grounded and serious race who are primarily concerned with the safety of their people. This means that the protection of their family dens and their species as a whole was a chief concern. The basis for this line of thinking is because they viewed that the needs of the society outweighed the needs of the individual.

As predators, they possess keen hearing and smell and excellent night vision.

Society and Culture

As a species, the Shistavanen are isolationists. The species colonized all the unpopulated worlds in the Uvena system to prevent them from being settled by non-Shistavanen, and their restrictive trade laws (which are unapologetic in how they favor their own kind over off-world traders). Most of their society uses
technology similar to the rest of the galaxy, though
some parts of Uvena Prime use slightly less
sophisticated technology.

A minority of Shistavanen are more outgoing, and travel the galaxy's hyperlanes. Even these Shistavanen usually remain by themselves or with other Shistavanen. Due to their natural predatory instincts, Shistavanen commonly find employment as scouts, mercenaries and bounty hunters. Many other species react badly to Shistavanen, since their isolationist culture makes them an unfamiliar sight, and their predatory appearance put other species on edge.

Homeworld Skor II
Language Squibbian

Biology and Appearance

Squibs are small, sentient, humanoid mammals with both rodent and canine characteristics. Their pink skin is covered in fur that offers some protection from cold weather, but, more importantly, it serves as an
olfactory organ, able to pick up scents at a distance
and ascertain intrinsic detailsósuch as penetrating
through a disguise or identifying a forgeryówhen
rubbed against. The species has both male and female
sexes, although non-Squibs often have difficulty
determining the sex of a Squib based on appearance
alone. Their mouths are full of forbidding, sharp, white
teeth, and their flexible cheeks were capable of storing
items.

Society and Culture

Squibs are friendly and cheerful to such an extent that, over time, they are considered quite annoying. Squibs are inherently curious, handling items with little regard to care. They are unabashed pack rats, and they wear clothing for the excess storage rather than necessity. The Squibs' overconfidence is a defining trait. The typical Squib response to a threat is not to fight or flee, but to bluff and bluster, especially when not face-to-face. In person, their sharp teeth are their favored means of intimidation. Squibs believe that bargaining is the highest form of communication, and they believe haggling is more important than the goods themselves. A deal is a binding oath to Squibs, and they are incredibly loyal to their business partners.

Names

Squibs combine their first and last names, which are familial, into one long, hyphenated name. They often go by nicknames derived from their full names. Male and female names do not significantly deviate.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Lwhekk
Language Ssi-ruuvi

Biology and Appearance

Ssi-ruuk are a predatory, warm-blooded saurian species gifted with ferocious strength, remarkable speed, and sharp fangs and claws, traits that serve them well in the volcanic jungles of their homeworld of Lwhekk. Their muscular forms combined with their powerful tails make them very agile hunters, and their colorfully-scaled hides have been proven to be resistant even to blaster bolts. From their nostrils, two scent-tongues protrude that grant them enhanced olfactory senses, compensating for the poor vision afforded them by their dark, three-lidded eyes. No Ssi-ruu has ever been known to be Force-sensitive.

Society and Culture

The citizens of the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium follow a rigid caste system in which their station in society is determined by the color of the scales they are born with. Among these, the brown-scaled outcasts are regarded as the lowest of the low, and have no place in the Imperium beyond menial labor or death at birth. Deeply xenophobic and religious, the Ssi-ruuk view the rest of the galaxy as populated by lesser beings whose worlds rightfully belong to the Imperium. Despite their fierce nature, most ssi-ruuk are afraid of dying on a world unconsecrated by their priest caste, as they believe their souls would be doomed, so they harvest and "entech" the life-energy of other species to power droids that fight for them. The entechment process is torturous and painful to its victims, and is the main power source of Ssi-ruuvi technology.

Names

Ssi-ruuvi names are difficult to pronounce and gender neutral. Many ssi-ruuk adopt nicknames to make the lives of their associates easier. Ssi-ruuk do not have surnames.

Homeworld Cularin
Language Tarasinese

Biology and Appearance

Tarasins are tall reptilians covered in translucent scales that allows the species' color-changing skin below to show through. Tarasins also have a colorful fan of flesh and scalesóknown as a kampoóthat opens around their heads when they experience strong emotional distress, which can be a detriment to negotiations, as it is difficult for a tarasin to hide discomfort. This color-changing ability is useful for camouflage and communication, and the scales naturally repel heat. Some examples of colors they take on include being brown when calm and in a comfortable environment, or becoming red after extended exertion or when excited. Tarasins also have short spines that protrude from their forearmsóknown as a sa'tosinówhich give the creatures the ability to sense the use of the Force. Tarasins are naturally curious and protective but also slow to anger. What they lack in sheer physical strength they make up for with a brilliant intellect.

Society and Culture

Tarasins live in a tribal system in the jungle underbrush of Cularin, grouping together in clans called irstat.

The tarasin have a strong connection with the Force, and their spiritual leaders are often able to call upon the Force in small ways. The tarasin believe that the ch'hala tree is sacred. This may have been influenced by the trees having a similar ability to shift their colors as the tarasin, but it is also the most unique tree on Cularin.

Despite their volatile nature, the taung are far from primitive, and maintain a high priority in procuring the latest technological advancements whenever possible.

The Mandalorian armor that has become iconic throughout the galaxy originally began with the culture's taung founders, with their unique helmets and war masks being forged in the image of the taung's face, including slanted outer angles and a pointed chin. However, the armor is quite sparse among the taung as they believe that unarmed combat brings the highest honor.

Physical Characteristics

Weight 95 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Unknown
Language Galactic Basic

Biology and Appearance

The original appearance of the theelin is officially uncertain, as almost all known "theelin" are not full-blooded specimens, but hybrids. It is possible that some aspects of these individuals' appearances are not from their theelin genes, but from other near-human ancestors. Most, however, have vividly colored hair and pale skin, often mottled with colorful spots. Unfortunately, a series of mutations arose among later generations of theelin. These mutations have led to genetic incompatibilities within their species, making it impossible to produce offspring. Even attempts to continue their species by cross-breeding with other near-humans could not stop the theelin slide towards extinction, due to the high infant mortality rates such couplings suffer from. Theelin began inevitably dwindling in numberóonly a few million theelin and part-theelin remain by the time the Republic fell, and pure theelin are presumed extinct by the fall of the Empire. Some of their greatest works are produced in these years, however, as an epitaph for a dying people.

Society and Culture

Theelin performers and artists created many of the galaxy's greatest works of art. The Theelin Divas, an all-female religious order, are recognized by many scholars of music as the greatest singers in the galaxy. Because of the rarity of the theelin, many female theelin and part-theelin are named "Diva" at birth, in hopes that they will develop the musical talent necessary to continue the traditions of the Diva order.

Names

Theelin use names similar to those in their community, typically human-similar names with exotic tinges.

Male Names. Dhess, Gooti, J·nsone, Qylett

Female Names. F·niss, Diva, Prystill, Saqua

Surnames. Joolie, Masozi, Oasay, Rellik

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Thisspias
Language Thisspiasian

Biology and Appearance

Thisspiasians are easily recognized by their abundant beards and their long tails, which often reach over six feet. These tails are very strong and are commonly used to carry large objects. When meditating or at rest, a thisspiasian will coil their tail beneath their torso, reducing their height by several feet. They also possess four arms, with the upper set being stronger and larger. Each of their four hands have five fingers, and each finger is tipped with a long, sturdy claw. It is thought unsophisticated or unseemly by upper-class thisspiasians to have the bottom two visible in public, so they are generally hidden from sight via larger garments, with the smaller limbs sometimes even bound to their bodies. Thisspiasians need very little sleep to function normally, resting for only two hours a day, with brief meditative moments scattered throughout the day to refocus.

Society and Culture

Thisspiasian culture is one of proud warriors who keep their emotions well-concealed and their rages checked. Many outsiders see only a thisspiasian's outward facade of tranquility, and to most being it seems as if thisspiasians existed in a sea of calm. This is far from the truth, however, as they are in truth a very passionate species below the surface. A thisspiasian who doesn't meditate as often as they should will often be prone to otherwise atypical emotional outbursts.

Thisspias is ruled by a hereditary leader called the Blood Monarch. Due to their seemingly archaic ruling structure, thisspiasians are often considered out-of-touch.

Thisspiasian names typically are composed of two similar sounding syllables. Surnames are familial.

Four-Armed. Thisspiasians have four arms which they can use independently of one another. You can only gain the benefit of items held by two of your arms at any given time, and once per round you can switch which arms you are benefiting from (no action required).

Inscrutable. Your calm demeanor and control make you hard to read. Wisdom (Insight) checks made against you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on any saving throw against an effect that would read your thoughts.

Prehensile Tail. You have supreme control over your tail and can use it to manipulate objects as well as your hands.

Trance. You only need 3 hours of sleep during a long rest to gain its benefits, instead of 6. Additionally, if your long rest would be interrupted, you only need to complete the long rest instead of restarting it to gain its benefits.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Thisspiasian. Thisspiasian is a complex language characterized by its interlocking sentences and heavy use of sibilants.

Physical Characteristics

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Yar Togna
Language Tognath

Biology and Appearance

Tognath are a sentient species native to Yar Togna. Yar Togna is a foul-smelling, high-gravity planet with a toxic, fume-saturated atmosphere. As a result, tognath wear a breathing apparatus to process the oxygen content in a planet's atmosphere. The tognath have a striking look thanks to their insectoid and mammalian characteristics; another factor is their having both an endo- and exoskeleton. They also possess a very primitive nervous system, which provides them with immunity to most pain (a helpful trait in combat). Tognath begin life as larvae born from egg clutches hatched in a suspension jelly, and latch onto one of their parents, feeding directly from their bloodstream. While in that jelly, two or more eggs (not necessarily from the same parent) sometimes graft together, thus creating a bond that continues throughout the life of the eggmates. Six months later, parents visit a nursery tree, where the young detatch from them and spin a cocoon. Within, the offspring undergo a metamorphosis, developing both their skeletons to resist the high gravity and pressures of Yar Togna.

Society and Culture

their society developed between the two sexes. Males
were drawn to continue their lifestyle as nomads and
hunters for their people, while females tended to
prefer remaining in permanent camps and contributed
the vast majority of their species technological
developments. This division has continued into
modern times, with males continuing their nomadic
traditions and females frequently preferring to stay in
villages and cities. Males visit their mates for about a
month each year, but otherwise the sexes live
completely separate lives. Whether in spite of this
separation of the sexes, or because of it, Togorians are
typically monogamous and devoted to their chosen
mates.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Toydaria
Language Toydarian

Biology and Appearance

A mammalian species of winged, stout bodied humanoids, the Toydarians have stubby facial tusks which protruded from their lower jaw and framed a short pudgy trunk. While their stubby legs can support their body weight, Toydarians' primary mode of locomotion was their use of the wings on their upper back. Though their wings can beat as fast as ten times a second, the effort burned up large amounts of energy, causing the species to need to replenish itself often through regularly eating mass quantities of food. In order to fuel this hyperactive metabolism, Toydarians eat concentrated foods and egg-seeds. Most of the bloodiest wars in their history were fought over food supplies.

Society and Culture

Despite being ruled by the Hutts, the Toydarian people are able to govern themselves free of major outside intervention through the establishment of a feudal monarchy. A ruling king sits on the planet's throne, allowing vassals to form allegiances and have minor disputes to solve their own problems. The king makes sure to keep his vassals happy and to have their allegiance, but will occasionally encourage infighting to reveal the true character of the vassals and weed out treachery.

Toydarians are known as shrewd businessmen.

Business Savvy. A common trait of all Toydarians is their shrewd business sense and their ability to haggle any deal. A loyal and proud people, these traits could be off-putting to outsiders, as many Toydarians in the galaxy were seen as crooks or slimy businessmen, but this was not always the case. Whenever you make a Charisma (Persuasion) check involving haggling you are considered to have expertise in the Persuasion skill.

Closed Mind. Toydarian brains have an unusual composition which made them resistant to influence from the Force. You have advantage on Wisdom and Charisma saving throws against force powers.

Ugors are sentient, unicellular protozoans. Considered exotic for being one of the few sentient species to fall outside the standard classificiations of birds, mammals, etc. Their bodies consist of cytoplasm, which can vary in colors and shade, bound by a slime-coated membrane. Being amorphic, ugors can assume nearly any shape, and can exude pseudopodia limbs such as crude arms, mouths, and sensory organs, although a globular form was the most comfortable and easy to maintain. Due to their unique physiology and evolution, they are able to digest substances that would prove toxic to other species, and can subsist on other species' trash. While most maintain globular form, some who interact with humanoid species will wear EVA suits or armor to give themselves a humanoid appearence.

Society and Culture

Ugor society revolves around trading and scavenging; they are famed for providing equipment to nascent civilizations and for salvaging wreckage from failed ones. The beings are supremely adaptable and astutely able to get what they want from others. Ugor business deals are extremely complex, incorporating opaque knots of loans, interest, and payment plans.

Homeworld Troiken
Language Xextese

Biology and Appearance

Xexto are spindly invertebrates with four arms with six fingers and two legs with ten toes. Almond-shaped eyes dominate a small head perched atop a long neck. Their brain is split between two parts of their body; the part located in the skull controls primitive emotions and basic body functions, while another portion in their chest controls higher functions such as creative thinking and logic. It's believed that xexto's body structure and lightning-fast reflexes developed to help them escape predators while pursuing their own prey, there is no question that genetic manipulation forever altered their evolutionary development.

Society and Culture

Although the Old Republic had long since outlawed experimentation on sentient beings, unscrupulous arkanian geneticists continued to search for primitive sentients on distant planets as fodder for their experiments. One such group found the xexto's forbears- a society of loosely organized hunter-gatherer tribes taking shelter in the trees of Troiken. Independently, they developed technologically advanced civilizations, and were on the verge of attaining interstellar travel when Republic scouts contacted them. Difficult terrain and dangerous predators found on their homeworld have led many Xexto to admire and encourage risk-taking. Despite their thrillseeking nature and willingness to take risks, xexto are generally well mannered and even-tempered. Questioning a Xexto's bravery is one way to make him or her angry.

When fighting against other foes, Yevetha are notable for being ruthless fighters who never surrender even in the face of certain defeat.

Eye Color Hazel, silver, amber
Distinctions Capable of producing powerful pheromones

Physical Characteristics

Height 4'8" +2d10"
Weight 90 lb. + (Height Roll) x (2d4) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Zeltros
Language Galactic Basic

Biology and Appearance

Zeltrons are one of the few near-human species that differentiated from the baseline stock enough to be considered a new species of the Human genus, rather than simply a subspecies. They possess two biological traits of note. The first is that they all produce potent pheromones, similar to the Falleen species, which enhanced their attractiveness and likeability. The second is a limited telepathic ability, used to project emotions onto others, as well as allowing them to read and even feel the emotions of others; some Zeltrons have been hired by the Exchange for this ability. Because of their telepathic ability, positive emotions such as happiness, love and pleasure are very important to them, while negative ones such as anger, fear, or depression are shunned.

Society and Culture

Zeltron culture is highly influenced by sexuality and the pursuit of pleasure in general. Most of their art and literature is devoted to the subject, producing some of the raciest pieces in the galaxy. Zeltrons are known to dress in wildly colorful or revealing attire. It's common to see Zeltrons wearing shockingly bright shades of neon colors in wildly designed bikinis, or nearly skin tight clothing of other sorts with bizarre color designs, patterns, and symbols.

Names

Zeltron names often have an air of mystique to them, to evoke sensuality. For a Zeltron, a beautiful face is nothing without an equally beautiful name. It's not uncommon for a Zeltron to forsake their familial surname in favor of a more attractive-sounding one.

Male Names. Marruc, Bahb, Rahulh, Demagol

Additionally, once per short or long rest, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower on a Charisma check as a 10. This feature has no effect on droids or constructs.

Natural Empathy. Zeltron's limited telepathy allow them to sense mood shifts in those around them. You have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks to determine emotions against humanoids and beasts within 10 feet of you.

Two Livered. Zeltron have two livers, which makes them adept at filtering toxins. You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage (explained in chapter 9).

Physical Characteristics

Weight 3 lb. + (Height Roll) x (1) lb.

Sociocultural Characteristics

Homeworld Zilk
Language Zilkin

Biology and Appearance

The zilkins are a bipedal, amphibious species discernible by their diminutive stature and stalk eyes. Their homeworld, Zilk, has many dense jungles and swamps deemed impossible to navigate by most species. Only the zilkins themselves, evolved from worm-like creatures, were able to easily slip through the gaps in the tangled, coarse foliage. Their powerful legs make them adept at swimming and leaping.

Zilkin also have bulbous chins which inflate with excess air while they are speaking.

Society and Culture

Their short lifespans cause zilkins to be one of the fastest learners in the galaxy, capable of learning in weeks what takes other species months. Zilkins live in large communities woven into the thick clumps of trees on Zilk. Whenever a dispute occurs, zilkins turn to a ritualistic form of debate where everyone affected voices their opinion on the matter. Whoever croaks their views the loudest and most confidently, wins. As a result, zilkins tend to be quite opinionated.

For a long time, the zilkins remained unknown to the galaxy at large, simply because few individuals had any interest in visiting Zilk, let alone exploring its notoriously impenetrable jungles. Having lived in isolation for so many generations, and often mocked for their size, zilkins tend to exhibit cantankerous behavior toward other species. Despite this, a number of zilkins leave their homeworld and take an active role in galactic politics, gaining the planet representation in the Senate.

Names

Zilkin names are usually clear and concise. Surnames are familial.
