Biology and Appearance

Abednedos are a humanoid, sentient, mammalian species with fleshy nose slits and black eyes, which belong to sockets that protrude from the side of the individual's elongated head. They also possess dangling mouth tendrils, that are remnants of sensory organs which helped their ancestors to navigate underground in the dark. They can grow hair above their eyes and on the side and back of their heads.

Society and Culture

A gregarious and clever species, the abednedos' curiosity and acceptance of other species, as well as their skill with languages, make them a common sight in the galaxy. With this, abednedos are found in multiple, contrasting professions, including freight crewers, soldiers, bureaucrats and slicers. Because of their upbringing, abednedo are fervent and vocal supporters of traditional democracy, which oftentimes leads them into unfavorable situations in areas where democracy is unpopular or outlawed. The abednedos' precursors evolved underground and carved out tunnel-dens to create massive cathedrals housing tens of thousands of family units. They eventually took to living on the planet's surface and constructed sprawling metropolises bristling with ornamental spires, flagpoles, and riotously colored carvings. While these cities strike outlanders as chaotic, the abednedos find them endless sources of amusement and interest.

Names

Abednedo names are quite diverse in nature, but are generally simple to pronounce, with familiar surnames. Abednedo parents try not to give children complex names, as that would make conversation more difficult for them in the future.

Biology and Appearance

A humanoid species of mammalians, the adarians have elongated skulls made distinct by the large hole which penetrates it. Lacking ears and noses, their skulls are covered in fine hairs which are very sensitive to sound waves, and their skin is underlaid by glands that allow them to detect odors. Sharp, bony ridges around their mouths substitute for lips seen in other species. The adarians have distendable throat pouches; elongating them to emit a loud subsonic call which helps in communication over long distances, reaching over 20 kilometers.

Society and Culture

Adarian society is based around a rigid caste system known as sceel'sara. Their governmental headquarters is the Hall of Decisions from which the upper tier of society has absolute control over those in lower classes. Operating a corporation-like government, the adarians boast that their society has never suffered from civil strife. Adarians carefully weigh their options before reaching any decision, but once the decision is made, they are rarely moved to change their minds. Adarians implicitly trust the judgment of those of higher status, and only the most flippant and rebellious adarian would disregard orders or advice from a member of a higher caste. Adarians have keen minds for business and a natural drive to succeed. They devote considerable time and energy to ensure the prosperity of their businesses. Most adarians active in the galaxy are scouts under the employ of mining corporations or the adarian government, searching for mineral-rich planets or moons to exploit.

Externally, they appeare very similar to humans, mainly differing in the thick, wrinkled skin on their foreheads, their six breasts, and their girth. Internally, the askajians aer adapted to desert survival with large epidermal sacs for water storage. This allows them to go for several weeks without water. An askajian can shed up to sixty percent of the water in his or her body with no effect other than tremendous slimming. Askajians are normally slender, and imbibing huge volumes of water increased their girth considerably. Askajians also had two hearts.

Society and Culture

Askajians live in a primitive, tribal society, living mostly by gathering plants and hunting herds of large, woolly beasts called tomuons. Askajians use their meat, milk, fat, wool, hooves, and bones for fabric, food, shelter, and other essential items. One of the most important figures in an askajian tribe was the weaver, who knows the secret techniques to create tomoun cloth: a strong, yet soft and wrinkle-resistant fabric that is a high-demand luxury item as far away as the Core Worlds. Dancers are also important in askajian culture. A skilled dancer acts as a shaman and loremaster, re-enacting tribal history and legend and leading worship of their main goddess, the Moon Lady, which was the moon of Askaj. The shamans of the Moon Lady teach that joy can be found in just about everything, and that tragedy is the best time for mirth. They encourage folks to laugh even as they die.

Biology and Appearance

Avogwi, often misidentified as altorians, are sentient predatory birds native to Altor 14, also home to the nuiwit. Except for their muscular, scale-covered legs, their bodies are covered in orange feathers, which camouflage them against Altor's orange skies. They have three fingers at the joint of each wing, which serve as hands when not in flight. Avogwi view the nuiwit as merely another prey species, though tastier than most. They react violently to suggestions that the two species evolved from a common ancestor.

Society and Culture

Due to their entirely carnivorous diet and clumsy hands, avogwi society is relatively primitive, based solely on hunting and water gathering. Avogwi are not social, living in mated pairs which can claim about fifty square kilometers as their exclusive territory. They also have very little technology, and distrust that of other species. Despite this, they developed a complex philosophy based on the teachings of the legendary hero Toro-toral, said to be the first avogwi to fly. The basic tenets are that all creatures that want to live must kill, and that all creatures that will not kill will die so that others can live. The sayings of Toro-toral are repeated by the avogwi at their only large-scale gatherings: ceremonial duels to the death to determine the avogwi leader, or Avog. Avogwi refuse to trade what little they have, as they are unable to understand why offworlders would trade them anything useful in exchange for anything the avogwi owned, unless it was to make the avogwi weaker.

Names

Avogwi co-opt names from other humanoids, causing their names sound unremarkable and common.

First Names. Daven, Gishad, Nemat, Tolok

Altorian Hunter. You have proficiency in the Stealth and Survival skills. Additionally, you have advantage on Constitution saving throws made to avoid exhaustion due to extreme heat.

Beak and Talons. Your sharp talons and serrated beak are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 kinetic damage.

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

Scavenger. 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.

Tech-Impaired. While avogwi 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.

Underdeveloped Hands. Your primitive claws make it hard for you to wield bigger weapons. You can’t use heavy shields. Additionally, you can’t use martial weapons with the two-handed property unless it also has the light property, and if a martial weapon has the versatile property, you can only wield it in two hands.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Avogwa. The avogwi language largely consists of primitive screeching and cawing.

Biology and Appearance

Although the bimms are biologically unrelated, they are each small in stature. The near-human bimm are likely related to humans, and are only distinguished by being smaller and typically having a prominent beard. The furred bimm are more unique, with a long muzzle, pointed ears, and black eyes.

Society and Culture

Upon colonization, the near-human bimm assimilated with the native species of bimm, merging their culture and society into one. Though the bimms have lived together for almost all of their recorded history, certain aspects of their culture are more associated with one species than with another. Both species call themselves simply "bimms" and live harmoniously with each other in shared forest cities. Near-human bimms are fond of art, music, and storytelling; their favorite stories involve heroic adventures, though they are usually content to hear stories rather than inspire to take part in adventures themselves. Furred bimms are particularly good merchants, and feel the day is incomplete without a good round of shopping and haggling. The art of bargaining is respected in their culture, and fair dealing is highly honored. However, cheating and theft are tantamount to murder in their society. Bimms are also known for their yellow clothing. Both are noted for their mild-tempered, peaceful tendencies, which is the reason the two species lived together in harmony.

Bravaisians are a humanoid sentient species that stand at a diminutive height, with blue, leathery skin. They have snouts that fade to pink at their end. These snouts contain a prehensile tongue as dexterous as their fingers. Bravaisians will alternate between using their fingers and their tongues. Bravaisians evolved from pack hunters, that used their tough, flexible snouts to dig through soil and dirt in order to find their prey, which were tubers and nests of insects. They would then suck up these with their long muscular tongues.

Bravaisians are nocturnal due to the intense heat and lack of life on Bravais during the day. As a result, they have small eyes that can easily be overwhelmed by light. For this reason, most members of the species are rarely seen without protective goggles while offworld. Some even have their eyes surgically removed to combat this problem.

Society and Culture

Bravaisians are infamously meticulous, carefully analyzing even the most innocent of objects, often leading bravaisians towards appraisal jobs when they are found off of their homeworld. Because of this, bravaisians are commonly seen in merchant jobs, making them a common sight in galactic markets. Due to them being nocturnal, bravaisians view other species' insistence on doing business during daylight hours with a mix of pity and contempt. As a result, on planets that are dark a majority of time, bravaisians are much more common, as merchants or otherwise.

Calibops are a tall avian sentient. Mostly humanoid in build, calibops have a bushy mane and tail, appearing to be a cross between some sort of feline and bird. Calibops have a big beak that can be used to whinny in the species' equivalent to a sigh, or to expel sounds created in the depths of the calibop's throat. Calibops have a robust voice generated in the beak. Calibops have big wings that do not allow them to fly, but an individual can flutter them to increase their walking speed. The wings can be folded either in front or behind the person, and are strong enough to be used in melee combat. The tips of the wings are prehensile like fingers.

Society and Culture

The calibops have a reputation for being particularly rhetorical, even if it detracts their skill for other activities seen as more active. The calibops themselves are familiar with their stigma, but many of them believe that words are useful at certain times, even if only actions can be useful at other times. Calibops are excellent diplomats, and are often skilled negotiators and heavily involved in politics. Derision directed at calibops often calls them cowardly, as they will almost always seek nonviolent solutions to any problems. Unlike most other nonviolent species, calibops can become very flustered, and have been known to have outbursts of emotion when frustrated. Their manes puff up and their tails lash from side to side when agitated, and though they seem to be in control of their emotions, they are as easily provoked as any other species.

Biology and Appearance

Charon resemble a cross between humanoids and arachnids, encased by a thick mottled carapace, with distinctly arachnoid features, such as spinnerets in the abdomen. They have four arms with triple-clawed hands, and four insectoid legs, with clawed feet. Their uppermost pair of arms is slightly larger than the other pair. Their multiple limbs have several advantages; charon are exceptional climbers, are extremely stable on their feet, and their claws make deadly weapons. Extremely powerful, they are also able to lift objects which are far too heavy for most other species. Charon have mandibular chelicerae at the sides of their small mouths and bulging eyes. Charon have a large trailing abdomen, capable of spinning strands of sticky webbing several times a day.

Society and Culture

Most charon are dangerous, bent on killing every other being they encounter. They come from a dimension known as otherspace, a region beyond the confines of the known galaxy, but the name of their homeworld and its location are mysteries yet to be solved by others who have encountered them. The proximity of their home to a black hole gave birth to a ruling death cult that believes the mission of the charon should be to destroy all life. The cult seeks to cast every living thing "Into the Void of Death." A figure known as the Prophet of the Void governs charon society. Just prior to the Battle of Endor, a splinter group calling themselves the Cult of Light secretly constructed the charon's first ever hyperdrive. Many disillusioned with the savage ways of the cult left to find a new life.

Biology and Appearance

The outward appearance of the chevs is generally similar to that of humans, with pale skin, no facial hair, and heavy brows. Their hair is often dyed in bright colors to identify them as property of a particular chevin. Their lidless eyes are protected by thin transparent membranes. They are physiologically much like other humanoid species, with their twin hearts being a notable exception.

Society and Culture

The chevs originally developed a civilization on Vinsoth, thriving for some time before they were enslaved by the chevin. Since the chevin are a nomadic people, the chevs are forced to live that same lifestyle as well. Their temporary settlements of tents and lean-tos were ruled by a chevin overseer, with the oldest female chev acting as the leader among the slaves. Giving what political power the chevs had to the oldest among them is criticized by some younger chevs, who believe this simply perpetuates the system of slavery. Generations of subjugation has left most chevs docile and submissive. Despite this, they will gather at night to try and understand the strengths and weaknesses of their masters, in hopes that a future generation might someday have the courage and the opportunity to free their people. The chevs even have legends which foretell that someday, they will become masters of the galaxy. Unlike many other slave populations, such as those of the hutts, the chevs are well educated and as informed about the galaxy at large as their chevin masters, perhaps even more so.

Biology and Appearance

The saurian chistori are tall and have lithe, though muscled, builds. Like many reptilian species, they are cold-blooded, and like the trandoshans, they have a durable hide made out of thick scales. Their most pronounced feature is a large snout under which is a hinged jaw filled with sharp teeth, perfect for rending flesh.

Society and Culture

The chistori are a highly obscure race. So scarce is the information of these people that even the Jedi Archives have no information on the chistori homeworld, and many chistori who wander the galaxy either have forgotten where they come from, or guard this information with their lives. What little is known about this species comes from their interactions with others. Fierce and warlike, they are quick to anger and tend to use excessive force to deal with even the smallest slights. As a result, few spacefaring species have any reason to seek them out.

The same talents that make them excellent warriors shows through in the chistori's interactions with other species, with most encounters ending in violence. Chistori are an impatient species and have little use for the rigidity of order and discipline, preferring instead to go their own way and do as they please. Chistori have no knowledge of the Force, neither as the Jedi know it, nor as a local religion. Thus the exceptionally few Force-sensitives born to this species are feared and persecuted by their fellow chistori.

Names

Chistori names are smooth sounding, with sharp surnames. Some chistori do not grant their children surnames as a symbol of disavowment early in life.

First Names. Fedenn, Hylos, Kentei, Saddem

Biology and Appearance

Columi are easily recognizable due to their large cranial cavities, their heads taking up a third of their height. Another notable feature is their immense black lidless eyes with worm-like veins on their temples. However, their mental evolution had an impact on their physical bodies with their physiques deteriorated. As a result, their boneless arms and legs became appendages that no longer are able to support their own body weight, even on lower gravity worlds. Thus, their bodies became simply repositories for their lungs, hearts, and other invaluable bodily organs. This evolution also resulted in their vital organs being drawn up towards their cranial activity. Their brains contain four cerebrums and over one hundred lobes with each being dedicated to an independent function. The other organ that had developed in importance amongst their kind is their eyes, which are the only link between their highly evolved brains and the world around them. These developed more than being photoreceptors as they are able to see all the wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. This resulted in them being able to "hear" through their eyes by detecting and analyzing the frequency of sound or radio waves.

Society and Culture

This devotion to mental pursuits has led to a deep disdain for physical activities with them holding the view that there is no dignity in any activity except those relating to thought. As a result, they often look down at races that make use of physical forms of labor, while columi use droids and hoverpods for such needs.

Biology and Appearance

Cosians are a species of sentient reptilian humanoids from Cosia who have beaked mouths, four-fingered hands, eyes with lids that blink upward instead of down, and a long tail that ends in a tuft of hair. Able to reach up to two hundred years of age, cosians are one of the longest lived species in the galaxy.

Society and Culture

Cosians are calm, straightforward thinkers. They often only take action after they are assured of the outcome, making them masterful players of Dejarik and other tests of wit and strategy. Cosians have a hunched posture and gentle demeanor that leaves an impression of harmlessness, helplessness, or even senility—but that could not be further from the truth. The sharp minds and keen senses of the Cosian are valued among adventurers, constantly observing and eager to learn more about the larger galaxy. The combination of an aged sense of wisdom and a genuine childlike excitement at the discovery of new places and beings casts the Cosian as a bit of a paradox. Any Cosian will tell you that they are simply taking each day as it arrives, and that anyone who believes they have learned all there is to learn is doing themselves a great disservice. Though welcoming diversity and negotiation, the villages on Cosia have been virtually untouched by technology—starports being built well outside the boundaries of their settlements.

Names

Cosian names are often short, sometimes forgetting to introduce themselves to strangers, as names are not very important to them. Surnames are familiar.

Male Names. Dasa, Eylan, Liua, Zev

Female Names. Fesh, Hela, Penn, Yalra

Biology and Appearance

Coway, known as mimbanese to offworlders, have dark eyes covered in a thin membrane which are capable of seeing into the infrared spectrum, which they use to survive in the subterranean darkness. A coway's diet typically consists of fruits, lichens, raw meats and fungus which would be poisonous to them if not for the strong amino acids of their digestive systems. Coway have the unsettling ability to disappear in the mud and murk of their homeworld.

Society and Culture

Compared to the space-age cultures of the rest of the galaxy, the coway are a primitive lot. Their main technological achievements are fire and weapons made of flowstone. They have little to no sense of higher learning or technology and were fond of charms. They treat death as an inevitable, everyday occurrence. Coway tribes live in large villages where order is maintained by brute force. Any outsiders who venture too close will be attacked. Males are dominant in coway society and each village is ruled by a triumvirate of chiefs who answer only to the will of Canu, a warrior god. If the chiefs encounter gridlock when they attempt to resolve an issue by themselves, they submit the problem to Canu. Because the coway believe that Canu demands strength from his followers, the greatest warriors of the conflicting parties will face each other in single combat until one quit or died.

Names

Coway names are quite different between tribes, with some using tribal surnames, and some forgoing them all together.

Male Names. Iorna, Koppes, O'ben, Vendak

Female Names. Disera, L'fen, P'kard, Rerra

Biology and Appearance

Cragmoloids are a rare species of intimidating pachydermoids with massive builds, big, flat ears, and manipulative trunks. While some cragmoloids have only one trunk, others have two smaller, secondary trunks surrounding the main one. Cragmoloids also have natural tusks under the trunk. These can be used in combat to impale an opponent or during a wrath-driven charge. Some cragmoloids have two big tusks, while others have four smaller ones. These tusks are extremely valuable to hunters. When crying, each of their eyes shed half a liter of water as a tear.

Society and Culture

Cragmoloids are proud and value a promise as a bond. They consider that losing one's tusks is a severe humiliation. They also prefer to face setbacks with direct answers instead of what they consider to be dishonorable tricks—something that does not stop them from pursuing careers in organized crime. Duplicity and deception commonly exasperates cragmoloids, who are prone to violent attacks of rage when angered. Notwithstanding their physical prowess, cragmoloids believe that unjustified violence is barbaric and to be avoided. Their civilization is organized into clans. Cragmoloids are so close to their families that they suffer severe depressions if separated from their homes or their friends. A cragmoloid always prefers chatting about kinship to talking about any other subject, and they commonly praise their direct relatives. Aliens speaking with a cragmoloid sometimes resort to asking about their families to obtain the cragmoloid's trust—although only after enduring many minutes of speeches.

Biology and Appearance

Cyclorrians are an insectoid sentient species who live in hives alongside the rest of their swarm. They have antenna for navigating their darkened hives, compound eyes, and adhesive feet. Cyclorrians have a powerful sense of smell, often to their own detriment, as areas saturated with multiple powerful scents can overwhelm parts of a cyclorrians' brain. To combat this, a majority of cyclorrians wear damp 'scent-cloths' made to dull the smells around them.

Society and Culture

Cyclorrians live together in hives, enormous compounds made up of natural materials where cyclorrian swarms live. These swarms are made up of multiple family groups of hundreds of cyclorrians coexisting closely, constantly repairing and expanding the hive. The main goal of the hive is to expand the hive outwards, this societal obligation causing cyclorrians to be efficient workers when found outside of their hives. Industrious beings, their social structure means that behaviors others would find overbearing and rude are acceptable, such as a lack of personal space. While they are well known for working together effectively, they are also highly individualistic, with some members learning activities such as sabacc from other beings in the brief rest periods allowed.

Names

Cyclorrians names have a distinct buzzing tone to them, dominated by the letter 'Z' in both personal and surnames. When an egg hatches, the young cyclorrian is brought before a hive's 'namers.' These namers will then spend hours, or even days, locked in their chambers deciding on the perfect name for the child. Cyclorrian names are agendered, and despite their hive-based society, they use familiar surnames.

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

Keen Smell. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that involve smell.

Undersized. Your small stature makes it hard for you to wield bigger weapons. You can’t use heavy shields. Additionally, you can’t use martial weapons with the two-handed property unless it also has the light property, and if a martial weapon has the versatile property, you can only wield it in two hands.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Cyclorrik. Cyclorrik is difficult for other species to reproduce, as its chittering high-pitched sounds are made using the multitudes of tiny mandibles in a cyclorrians' mouth.

Biology and Appearance

The dantari are Dantooine's native intelligent lifeform. A near-human species, they look very much like baseline humans, except that they are much more muscular and well-built. All dantari sport large, flat faces, dark hair, and tan, leathery skin.

Society and Culture

As a whole, the dantari are a stone level, technologically ignorant civilization. Even during multiple Galactic Civil Wars, they still were completely unaware that starships traveled in space over Dantooine. They have not developed agriculture as a means of subsistence, nor have they discovered the secret of metallurgy. The dantari spend their lives wandering across the plains searching for food, using simple weapons such as stone axes and spears to hunt animals. Usually, they will establish a temporary village at the end of each day and subsequently fold up their tents every morning before continuing their endless journey. Those villages are made of simple, animal-skin shelters, with multiple campfires in front of them. Although they do not have a king or a chief, one particular individual is regarded as an authority of special importance by their peers: the garoo. A highly respected member of the tribe, the garoo is a cross between a priest and a sorcerer. He is thought to be capable of commanding the animal spirits, and the dantari say that a garoo never lies. The dantari have an extensive knowledge of the medicinal properties of the local flora and fauna. They also participate in an elaborate form of gift exchange as a way of establishing ties between individuals and tribes.

Names

Dantari use primitive single-syllable names, typically named after words for nature in Dantarian.

Male Names. Dayan, Jendar, Norr, Tuber

Female Names. Esada, Norra, Sembod, Uladi

Defiant. Dantari 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.

Biology and Appearance

Devlikks are a shorter avian species with unique proportions, including a small tail, a long neck, and stubby legs. Their bodies are accented with prominent lime-colored feathers, and their faces feature red eyes and a long beak. Their digits end in a dark claw for traction, as they often run on all fours to make up for their short legs. Their most unique ability is a sensitivity to magnetic fields, which they use for navigation, as they always know which way is north. They have a very short lifespan, maturing to adulthood in two years and typically dying before the age of ten.

Society and Culture

Although they are capable of using technology and living in advanced societies, devlikks have a strong preference for nature and seek to preserve the wetlands and bogs that they live in. The devlikk homeworld of Ord Radama, once a swampy one, has been overtaken by human immigrants, who make up the majority of the population and hold most of the wealth and power. It sits at a major hyperlane crossroad and plays a major role in galactic trade, particularly in exporting its mineral deposits and wines. While the biggest cities, like Livien Major and New Raido, are very advanced, most devlikks live in slums such as the Barrows. Their original architecture, mostly buried underground, is a maze-like network of small tunnels. While offworlders find the configuration off-putting, devlikks have little trouble navigating the passageways due to their innate magnetic sense and small size.

Names

Devlikk use short, simple, pleasant sounding names, with no distinction between male and female naming.

Biology and Appearance

Drabatans are amphibious humanoids with small dark eyes and a massive mouth. They are excellent swimmers (though they strongly dislike salt water) and dine on a variety of insects, fish, and algae. They also developed large lungs and strong diaphragms, which enable them to achieve powerful vocals while singing or shouting.

Society and Culture

Drabatans are a passionate species dedicated to the performing arts, especially song. Critics describe their music as hauntingly beautiful and insist that drabatan music requires no translation for anyone to appreciate the ethereal, melancholy tones. Performance troupes throughout the galaxy count drabatans, who often play the heel, among their number. Drabatan voices are pitch-perfect, and many consider seeing a live performance of the Pipada Symphony Chamber Chorus to be life changing. Song is firmly entrenched throughout everyday drabatan life, in areas ranging from entertainment to education. Drabatan families have unique songs that detail their lineage and history, often performed at gatherings by the family's best vocalist and rearranged for the occasion. Drabatan culture values free artistic expression and opposes censorship. It is said that the only thing a drabatan likes more than a song is a cause.

Names

Drabatans receive notoriously long non-gendered names that preserve a record of each individual's clan, distinct familial branch, and chief living forebearers at the time of hatching. Drabatans are responsive to nicknames given by outsiders.

Biology and Appearance

The drall are being small bipeds with furry features who are descended from burrowing animals. Their bodies are covered with fur, and have short limbs with clawed hands and feet. Females are generally larger.

Society and Culture

Drall take pride in being viewed as well mannered and considerate. They are intelligent, reasonable, and difficult to anger. Drall are honest in their business dealings, and if they promise to perform a task for a certain payment, they always do so to the best of their ability. They expect others to behave in a similarly. As a species, they are methodical researchers, careful observers, and considered among the best theoretical thinkers in the galaxy. Drall are primarily interested in abstract concepts and accumulating knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Therefore, despite the advanced nature of their scholarly pursuits, the planet Drall trails behind the rest of the galaxy in technological achievement, and the drall themselves usually implement technology developed by others. Drall society is a clan-based combination of a matriarch and a meritocracy. No elected or direct hereditary leaders exist on their homeworld. Instead, each family heeds a "Duchess," a female drall who is deemed the most fit to lead. Once appointed, the Dutchess becomes the owner of all the family's property, and she holds the position for life or until she steps down and passes the title and property along to a suitable heir. Most drall clans follow the overall direction set by the Dutchess of the most prosperous and powerful of all the clans.

Biology and Appearance

Dressellians are a tall, thin, mammalian humanoid species with elongated, hairless skulls, wrinkled skin, and teal blood. Their wrinkled skin has earned them the callous nickname "Prune Face," to which all dressellians take offense.

Society and Culture

Dressellians are fiercely independent loners by nature. Originally dresselians were simple hunters, but by two centuries later, they'd evolved into a burgeoning industrial-level society with a loose coalition government, often in contact with the bothans, who decided to leave the natives low-tech alone. Dressel's isolation ended after the Galactic Empire took control of the system, the Imperials descending on the planet, moving to set up bases and exploit Dressel's natural resources. The dressellians, despite having only a loose political organization and barely industrial-level technology, formed a resistance movement. At first, their resistance had limited effect, but over time, dressellians became masters of guerrilla warfare, making the continued occupation of Dressel very costly for the Empire. Later, the bothans supplied the resistance with weapons, and mercenaries to train the dressellians. In the end, the Imperials decided the occupation was not worth the cost, and abandoned Dressel. The Imperials made a lasting impression, dressellians generally wary of "outlanders", besides the bothans, who they hold in high regard given their shared history of peace. Although self-serving and quick to anger, dressellians are loyal to others who have aided them, asking for nothing in return.

Names

Dressellian names are very simple by galactic standards, and do not surnames.

Male Names. Barriet, Cellith, Samak, Ulrachel

Female Names. Akijanus, Grett, Nella, Zillizera

As a dressellian, you have the following special traits.

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

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

Alignment. Dressellians' uncooperative nature and passion for freedom causes them to tend towards chaotic alignments, though there are exceptions.

Size. Dressellians typically stand 5 and a half to 6 feet tall and generally weigh about 150 lbs. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Defiant. Dressellians 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.

Guerilla. You have proficiency in the Stealth and Survival skills.

Primitive Weaponry. Dressellians are highly skilled with crude weaponry. You have proficiency with the slugthrower and slugpistol.

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.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Dressellese. Dressellese is a simple language that took thousands of years to evolve, including its written form, a symbol-based system. Due to the close relations that dressellians have with the bothans, Dressellese borrowed a great number of Bothese terms into its lexicon. Eventually, dressellians rejected their own, archaic graphic system to write their language, adopting the Bothese alphabet.

Biology and Appearance

Duloks are a sentient species native to the swamps of the Forest Moon of Endor. They are gangly with sharp claws and thin, expressive, tufted tails. They are excellent climbers. Members of the species are covered in dull-looking fur. Most of a dulok's fur is relatively uniform in length except for a longer shock atop the head. The features of a dulok's broad face are screwed up into a constant scowl. A full set of teeth filled the mouth, and the two sharp canines jut from their lower jaw. Dulok eyes are sensitive to bright light, but in low-light conditions, their pupils narrow to vertical slits. While they groom themselves using the materials available to them, such as stolen ewok soap, euloks have a hard time keeping clean. As a result, their fur often becomes mangy, unkempt, foul smelling, and infested with parasitic insects.

Society and Culture

Although ewoks and duloks speak mutually intelligible dialects and acknowledge a common heritage, their interactions are seldom cordial. The duloks hate and envy the ewoks for enjoying what the duloks see as the better lifestyle in the bountiful forests. Most eke out a living in marshlands, based in villages of caves, logs, and stumps. While they rarely show the pluck and flair so often attributed to their forest cousins, duloks excel at fighting, raiding, and stealing. The dearth of resources in their swamp habitat give them little choice, and a preference for idleness and their might-makes-right culture both add to the appeal of such behavior. Some dulok bands range several days from their home, basing themselves in camps while away.

Names

Duloks typically have short, guttural, one-word names without surnames, tribal or otherwise.

Male Names. Bumphuk, Durgat, Krugbu, Trugeegh

Female Names. Arob, Bulak, Rogmesh, Sharamph

Biology and Appearance

Dybrinthe are a bipedal humanoid species with bright skin, wide eyes, and a gill-like respiratory system. Due to their moon's poisonous and highly pressurized atmosphere, dybrinthe out of Dybrin 12 are required to wear large breathing apparatus that supply them with processed atmosphere via hoses. They also have to wear suits that simulate the higher pressure and temperature that they are use to. Due to spending extended periods underground, they developed exceptional night vision, which is noticeably stronger on worlds with clearer atmospheres.

Society and Culture

The species live in clans, with each clan controlling its own territory. Fuel, bubbling up from Dybrin 12's vast underground oceans, is collected by mobile refinery-cities, which will then process the fuel. It is commonplace for dybrinthe clans to raid and sabotage other clans, though this became less prevalent. However, rival clans will still tunnel underground and attempt to divert fuel to their own clans. Within clans, dybrinthe society is ordered into castes, such as engineering and diplomacy castes. Few dybrinthe leave their homeworld, though most of those who do are scientists drawn from the engineering castes, as technological professions are the highest in demand on nearby worlds. Because of this, dybrinthe of other castes tend to learn mechanical or computer skills when traveling off world to make themselves more appealing to potential employers.

Names

Dybrinthe parents assign their children personal names based unique on clan algorithms, additionally using clan-based surnames.

First Names. Domaust, Chayad, Roctack, Trothcor

Biology and Appearance

The ebruchi have a roughly humanoid configuration, with a squat, lumpy build similar to that of gands. Their heads house two wide-set eyes that never blink and a hidden mouth ringed by writhing, fleshy feelers. These tentacles are always in motion as they sample airborne scents and can grasp chunks of food to force them down the ebruchi's narrow gullet. This process is messy and, to most species, revolting. The ebruchi are omnivorous. They can survive on rotting garbage if necessary, but their appetites lean toward the sadistic. They love nothing more than swallowing the wet flesh of freshly killed prisoners. A typical outfit consists of animal skins topped with medallions, rings, or crowns.

Society and Culture

They are ruthless pirates whose homeworld is not known and whose history is devoted to conquest. While they are seen as war-like, the ebruchi themselves tend to use small starships for travel rather than large fleets of bigger ships. Many believe that the race are barbaric nomads who have traveled in space for so long that they have forgotten, as well as forsaken, their planetary heritage. To some, the ebruchi are a terror. To militarily superior forces, such as the chiss and the vagaari, the ebruchi are a perpetual annoyance. The ebruchi are driven by the basest of emotions: greed and fear. Unwilling to give an edge to any other being-including members of their own species-they overcompensate to the point of overkill. Still, the ebruchi are not foolish, and they take such drastic actions only if they believe themselves to be safe from retaliation. This tendency, of course, makes them bullies of the worst stripe. The ebruchi show no kindness unless they gain something in the process.

Names

Ebruchi use dulcet sounding single-names.

First Names. Corke, Firnees, Reydes, Sommon

Ebruchi Traits

As an ebruchi, you have the following special traits.

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

Age. Ebruchi reach adulthood in their early teens and live for about 65 years.

Alignment. Ebruchi's cruel, brutal, and self-serving nature causes them to tend towards chaotic dark side, though there are exceptions.

Size. Ebruchi typically stand 4 to 5 and a half feet tall and generally weigh about 100 lbs. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

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.

Galactic Scourge. You are proficient in Intimidation and Piloting.

Iron Guts. Ebruchi are able to eat any organic material, from raw flesh to rotting garbage. As a result, you cannot suffer exhaustion from starvation, unless you are in an environment completely lacking organic material.

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

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. 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, Ebruchese, and your choice of Minnisiat or Sy Bisti. Ebruchi converse among themselves using an idiosyncratic jargon incomprehensible to outsiders.

Biology and Appearance

Eloms are short, stocky mammalian bipeds with tough skin under a thick, oily pelt of dark and stringy fur. They have several layers of fat, evolved to capture moisture, making them equipped for life in the harsh, desert environment of their home. Eloms' hands and feet each have hard, hooked claws, perfect for digging, and prehensile toes on each foot, which can be used as grip tools. Their hands and feet are also covered with thick calluses resulting from the rigorous lives they live. Because of their subterranean existence, eloms have exceptional night vision. However, their small eyes are easily overpowered by bright light. They also have two hard, sharp tusks protruding from their mouths, with thick, pouchy jowls in which they are able to store food. Eloms evolved in a dry environment, and their biological systems are adapted for desert survival. Eloms have the ability to move quickly, even when laden down with a heavy load. Some eloms also have long, white tails which almost reached their feet.

Society and Culture

Eloms are an extremely peaceful and unsophisticated species who live deep beneath the surface of their homeworld. Strict herbivores, the eloms are content to live in their underground homes, raising their young. Although they are highly intelligent and ambitious, eloms often underestimate the capacity for wrongdoing exhibited by other species and therefore are often able to be manipulated by others to do their bidding. Eloms are generally easygoing, kind, forgiving and eager to learn.

Names

Elom names come from instinctual feelings, being sharp and to the point, with surnames being familiar.

Biology and Appearance

The elomin are thought by some xenoarchaeologists to be descended from a lost colony of zabrak who settled Elom in the distant past.

Elomin skin features a variety of colors from bright pink to dark purple. Features of their anatomy which distinguishes them from baseline humans include neck wattles, spanchons, four stomachs, generative nodes, six-chambered hearts, nose tusks, long hairs which grew behind their ears, and horns.

Society and Culture

Elomin have difficulties relating to other species, which they view as perpetrators of chaos. Culturally, the elomin try to discover or create order in all things. They view the universe as a logical, organized puzzle, and endeavor to find the pieces and bring them to their logical places. When confronted with something that doesn't fit into the pattern they have defined, they may try to redefine the pattern, but are just as likely to attempt to ignore the discordant details.

Such was the case when the elomin first discovered the existence of the underground-dwelling eloms, another sentient species native to their world. The elomin first denied the existence of the eloms, and then later denied they were sentient so they could press them into service as servants and laborers.

The elomin are obsessed with personal hygiene, combing their long ear hair and polishing their horns.

Biology and Appearance

Em'liy are fairly tall and robust by human standards. Their faces have no visible noses and small, dark eyes. They have no body hair, though they do grow dark hair on their heads. This hair is styled in one to three topknots, depending on caste.

Society and Culture

The em'liy once had a relatively sophisticated society, though they were apparently not starfarers. This changed after the Galactic Empire's forces attacked Shalyvane. The attack left their capital city, Chinshassa, in ruins. After this attack, the region around the capital was ruled by nomadic tribes, armed with a mixture of primitive weapons and blasters. Em'liy are born survivors, raised to hunt for every morsel of food and fight for every drop of water. They take nothing for granted and tend to possess a fatalistic approach toward life. They expect no favors and express only contempt for the lazy, spoiled, or domineering. Angered Em'liy are dangerous foes and loyal friends. Entire wars have ended because one em'liy general sufficiently impressed another in the course of battle. Since their fail from grace, however, much of their arrogance has left them, replaced with feeling of loss and restlessness. Em'liy are deadly warriors, with a ferocity in battle unmatched by many warrior species. Observes have labeled this ferocity "berserker" behavior, though this is not entirely accurate. Warring em'liy give themselves over completely to a fight, letting the course of battle define their actions and thoughts. They control their own actions, but their so-called "spirit of battle" helps refine that control.

Names

Em'liy use relatively complex names, with archaic surnames that span back hundreds of generations.

First Names. Cir'belt, Evir'zan, Ji'kata, Shanzar

Surnames. Belochog, Jelevos, Neth, Tez'ra

Em'liy Traits

As an em'liy, you have the following special traits.

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

Age. Em'liy reach adulthood in their late teens and live for an average of 65 years.

Alignment. Em'liy are ferocious and independent, causing them to tend towards chaotic balanced, though there are exceptions.

Size. Em'liy typically stand 6 feet tall and generally weigh about 200 lbs. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Heat Adaptation. You have advantage on Constitution saving throws made to avoid exhaustion due to extreme heat.

Protective Membrane. You have advantage on saving throws against being blinded.

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.

Spirit of Battle. Once per day, you can enter an extreme state of focus as an action. For 1 minute, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a power), you are immune to being frightened and gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) at the start of each of your turns. When this state ends, you lose any remaining temporary hit points from this feature.

Wastelanders. You are proficient in Survival and one of the following skills: Intimidation, Investigation, or Stealth.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Em'liy.

Biology and Appearance

Physically, epicanthix are generally human in appearance, possessing faces that are somewhat longer than usual, with narrow eyes, dark hair, and lithe builds with powerful musculature that tends to be willowy and graceful due to a cultural focus on physical training and combat readiness. Most epicanthix possess a natural unconscious talent to shield their minds from Force-assisted mental tricks, influence, domination, and mind reading, with the talent being widespread enough that many groups sought out the epicanthix for use as spies.

Society and Culture

A race of warriors known for their their combination of militaristic mindsets and high regard for art and culture, the epicanthix train and hone their bodies in preparation for war - with great value being placed on an individual's combat readiness - while simultaneously broadening their minds by studying art, music, and literature. Practical yet praising aesthetic, the Epicanthix worked this duality into much of their way of life; their starships were beautiful yet lethal, their hair was tied in ceremonial styles that were not only attractive but practical for combat, and while they trained their bodies for strength they simultaneously toned them for beauty. Even when conquering an enemy, the Epicanthix would absorb their conquered subject's culture, regarding a subjugated people's art and culture as equally important as their material wealth.

Names

Epicanthix names are short and exotic, with surnames being familiar.

Male Names. Taw, Vu, Yix, Zun

Female Names. Qiy, Rev, Xa, Yav

Surnames. Halber, Lanse, Poyn, Spera

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

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

Alignment. Epicanthix are focused and dedicated, causing them to tend toward lawful alignments, usually lawful balanced, though there are exceptions.

Size. Epicanthix typically stand 5 to 6 feet tall and generally weigh about 160 lbs. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Artistic Culture. You have proficiency with artist's implements, constructor's implements, or one musical instrument of your choice. Additionally, you are considered to have expertise in Intelligence (Lore) checks made to learn or recall something about a culture’s art.

Closed Mind. Epicanthix 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.

Elegant Influence. You have proficiency in Lore, and one of the following skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Technology, or Insight.

Unarmed Combatant. Your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 kinetic damage and have the finesse property.

Warrior's Discipline. Epicanthix are trained as warriors from a young age, making them skilled in various weapons. You have proficiency in two vibroweapons or blasters of your choice.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Epicant. Epicant sounds very similar to Galactic Basic upon first listening, but in fact the language has evolved far beyond its initial roots, sounding like a more melodic and structured offshoot.

Biology and Appearance

There exists in the galaxy a sentient species that is supposedly half-bothan, calling themselves farfallans. The hybrid species is humanoid and exhibits several equine characteristics. For instance, the species is ungulate; that is, they walk on cloven hooves, with the hock joint high up the leg. Their legs are thickly furred down to the knee, and a long, hair tail grew from the posterior to almost to the ground. Farfallans prance, and can run sure-footed in even dim light. The species has pointed ears, and some members of the species grow two twisted, pointed horns from the top of their craniums.

Society and Culture

The farfallan species developed a royal lineage in the form of the Farfalla Bloodline, key figures in this hierarchy being the king and prince heir-to-be. The royal Farfalla family have distinctive colors—variations of yellow and red—and wear elaborate attire. Farfallan accessories include circlets, jewelled bracelets, and earrings. Farfallans wear their head hair long, often in ponytails, and their tails are often bound in cloth straps. In combat, farfallans wear body armor, gloves, and protection on the upper thighs composed of curved panels hung together by chain. Weaponry of choice includes axes, pikes and sabers. Farfallans are often considered temperamental or volatile, a characteristic that is attributed by some to their equine heritage. When confronted with the death of a peer, it is tradition for farfallans to fast ritually for the deceased.

Names

Farfallan names are longer and melodic, though some harsher tones do appear, with familiar surnames.

Male Names. Andufa, Fafiel, Reynorel, Virrani

Female Names. Caibano, Endyme, Heldara, Jennares

Surnames. Farfalla, Gaeldres, Isinda, Shoraphon

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Bothese. Xenobiologist have long theorized about the farfallans' label as "half-bothans" and their true heritage. An interesting aspect of this bothan connection comes from the farfallan's usage of Bothese, implying some deeper legacy with the spacefaring species.

Biology and Appearance

Farghul are felinoid sentients native to Farrfin. They have claws, incredible strength and speed, and are covered with tawny fur and possess prehensile tails. Their hands feature stubby fingers with retractable, sharp claws.

Society and Culture

The species has a reputation for being both fearsome fighters as well as cunning thieves. Despite this, farghul prefer to rely on cunning and trickery rather than direct confrontation and force. Something has gone wrong somewhere along the way if a farghul ends up in a fight, and it takes a lot of provocation to cause one to lose his or her good humor. A farghul tries talk and bribery before resorting to violence. The farghul are also generally distrustful of politicians and are considered slightly xenophobic. The farghul in general have playful and mischievous personalities. They delight in puns, plays-on-words, sleight-of-hand tricks, and intellectual puzzles. They are good-natured, boisterous, and always ready with a wide smile and a terrible joke. Rigged games of chance are favorite pastimes among the farghul, and if someone ever sees through such a con, they willingly return any money gained and cheerfully explain how they fixed the game. As such, they have a reputation as a species of unrepentant con-artists and thieves- and as far as adventuring farghul are concerned, this is not far from the truth. Farghul are very conscious of their appearance and they are never seen in public without the highest quality of clothing they can afford, not to mention the latest fashions.

Biology and Appearance

The average feeorin has thick tendrils hanging from the backs of their heads and much smaller and thinner ones hanging from their face. The feeorin can live for up to four hundred years, and due to a unique metabolism, they grow stronger with age rather than weaker, until they die, dropping dead suddenly of old age. Curiously, some feeorins had noses while others lacked any nasal openings. Feeorin are reputed to be brutal and dangerous. While this is not entirely the case, they are quick to anger and highly impersonal. They typically place their own affairs above others, causing other species to regard them as selfish.

Society and Culture

Feeorin are known to come from the planet Odryn, a planet of severe climatic extremes. They believe that the spirits of their fallen Elders reside at the Sanctum of the Exalted, where they forge Odryn's seasons. Little else is known about the world, given the closed nature of feeorin society. Few feeorin venture from their homeworld, and those few outsiders who have survived a visit there tell of a world well suited for the feeorin, but nobody else.

Feeorin who travel offworld typically select careers compatible with their self-serving and aggressive nature. Feeorin encountered on their homeworld display a greater range of personality and motivation. In either case, feeorin do not seek out acquaintance with members of other species.

Names

Feeorin often name their children after famous Elders of their species, having simple names composed of no more than 4 or 5 letters. Surnames are not used.

Male Names. Bral, Dod, Kren, Nym, Zun

Female Names. Crayl, Deyla, Fein, Nor, Pryn

Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled, and reduce the damage by that total. After you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

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 Feeorin. The Feeorin language is gruff and dry sounding and has many different words for forms of combat, these phrases being borrowed by other species often.

Biology and Appearance

Firrerreo had developed canine teeth, two-tone hair, and nictitating membranes protecting eyes that are able to see into the ultraviolet range of the spectrum. These membranes also protect the eyes from intense flashes of light, as well as flying debris. They also have tremendous ability to heal quickly, able to survive even a direct blaster shot if the damage didn't harm anything vital to the heart or brain. Firrerreo also possess a deceptive strength, with even a weak and starved firrerreo capable of surprising force.

Biology and Appearance

Fosh are avians with delicate arms and talon-like hands that evolved over tens of thousands of years from wings. Due to their frail bodies, fosh tend to shy away from conflict. Their necks in particular are vulnerable, and are reflexively guarded during combat. They are, however, agile creatures with a digitigrade stance and flay-toed feet useful for jumping. Their feathers shift color depending on the fosh's mood: green indicates inquisitiveness, thoughtfulness or amusement; orange is a sign of happiness; and gray is anger, disgust, irritation or seriousness. One of the most intriguing aspects of the species is the chemical makeup of its tears. Fosh have lacrimal glands that enable them to alter their tears to produce a variety of pheromonal substances that affect mates during mating season and can manipulate others.

Society and Culture

Fosh are very private, preferring to remain unnoticed by the larger galaxy. However, they are adept at political intrigue, and culturally, they are a manipulative species similar to the bothans, but much more devious. Many fosh are bigots, looking upon other races as inferior, sometimes even as toys for their own amusement. They will create plots within plots to achieve either highly complex or at times very simple goals. They speak indirectly to others, rarely revealing their true desires, and are fond of riddles and analogies designed to confuse and confound. Because of this, the fosh are a highly self-serving, self-interested species that are only generous when their actions hide an ulterior motive.

Potent Tears. You can use your pheromones to influence individuals of both sexes. Whenever you roll a 1 on a Charisma (Persuasion) check, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. 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.

Strong-Legged. When you make a long jump, you can cover a number of feet up to twice your Strength score. When you make a high jump, you can leap a number of feet up into the air equal to 3 + twice your Strength modifier.

Undersized. Your small stature makes it hard for you to wield bigger weapons. You can’t use heavy shields. Additionally, you can’t use martial weapons with the two-handed property unless it also has the light property, and if a martial weapon has the versatile property, you can only wield it in two hands.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and Fosh. The Fosh language sounds malicious and foreboding, despite its soft tones.

Biology and Appearance

Frozians have an extra joint in each limb that, to most, looks like a breach in a bone. Their movements are perceived as off putting and their gait is seen as weird, partly because they trot like the animals they evolved from. Frozians are clumsier than humans, but they have more acute senses and are better abstract thinkers. Experiencing the standard gravity found on most inhabitable planets is particularly difficult for frozians. While a frozian can reach one century of age under light gravity conditions, eighty years of age means death to frozians under standard gravity. Furthermore, frozians can only breed in light gravity conditions and under the influence of some specific vegetables from their homeworld.

Society and Culture

Frozians have a well-deserved reputation for probity, honesty and diligence. They are proud hard-workers and respect the letter of a promise to death, even if the other party has already betrayed it, making them highly valued civil servants. A strong-willed, good-willing people, frozians tend to help whoever is in need, and can become worried for those around them. Frozians tend to make an extra effort to take care of people they perceive as needing it. A trait common to the species is melancholy: frozians tend to see the worst possible outcome of everything, resigning themselves to their own doom, or accepting any government ruling them, even if they dislike it. They have a tendency to depress, except sometimes when helping other people, and they have a natural skill to wreak havoc on the mood of anyone around them—even if the frozians would never intend or want that. Frozians tend to reject contact with other frozians.

Names

Frozians use longer, eloquent sounding single-names.

First Names. Carlisgontoris, Rocatrinicel, Scorylance

Frozian Traits

As a frozian, you have the following special traits.

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

Age. Frozians reach adulthood in their early teens and live for about a century in light gravity, and less than 80 in standard.

Alignment. Frozians' generous and diligent nature causes them to tend toward lawful light side, though there are exceptions.

Size. Frozians typically stand 6 and a half to over 8 feet tall and generally weigh about 120 lbs. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Acute Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Long-Limbed. When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal.

Melancholic. Your depressive demeanor and mood make you hard to manipulate. Charisma (Persuasion) checks made against you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on any saving throw against an effect that would force you to take an action against your will.

Peripheral Awareness. 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.

Unbalanced. Frozians are unsteady and weaker on worlds with standard gravity. You have disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws against being knocked prone.

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

Biology and Appearance

Gigorans are a species of furry giants, in many ways similar to the wookiees. They are similar in appearance to primates found on other worlds, their bodies covered in fur, having evolved from cave-dwellers on their arctic home planet. They have clawed hands with four fingers and an opposable thumb. Gigorans are exceptionally strong and hardy, but their empathic and peaceful makes them a target for slavers such as the zygerrians.

Society and Culture

Gigor is a cold, mountainous planet. The gigorans evolved from group-oriented primates who lived in caves. As they developed intelligence, they took to living as hunter-gatherers while keeping their cavern homes. The species divides itself into home-clans made up of around 50 members who divide themselves into three to five family groups. There is no higher government than the home-clan on Gigor, each under the leadership of the most skillful hunter. Gigorans are fiercely loyal to these familial home-clans, as well as extremely protective. This dedication to family often carries over to their close friends, being equally protective over them. Gigor is largely unsettled, and it has very little in the way of high-technology. Despite their appearance and strength, they are normally peaceful and docile in their native environment, however, when necessary, gigorans are powerful and effective opponents. Gigorans are often enslaved and exploited for their strength.

Names

Gigorans have typically harsh sounding names, not using surnames, for they treat all of gigoran kind as their family.

Biology and Appearance

Gossam are diminutive reptilian humanoids known for their shrewd and cunning nature. They have pebbly green or blue skin, elongated necks, wide eyes and a tapered head that sloped back on an incline. Gossam balanced their thin bodies on two three-toed feet, and had long, graceful three fingered hands.

Society and Culture

Gossam hold their appearances as extremely important, and dress in elaborate clothing in an attempt to impress other sentients. Females use oil-based creams to mold their hair into a wave that traditionally sweeps up from the back of their heads. Wealthy gossam aristocrats and trade negotiators often wear elevated footwear to appear taller when dealing with other species, in addition to the exotic robes and finery favored by most gossam.

Most gossam are selfish, scheming beings skilled at the art of business. Most gossam traveling the galaxy are either legitimate merchants or shady smugglers. Though most gossam are intelligent and independently minded, many spend much of their lives working for the Commerce Guild, who offers them food, housing and a decent income for a ten year exclusive contract. Gossam goods are generally cheap to manufacture, and overpriced. Always looking for an angle they can play to come out on top, gossam are considered untrustworthy by other beings. A gossam's word means precious little in most other species' opinions.

Biology and Appearance

The gree are a six-tentacled race of cephalopod creatures that have an unusual anatomy with large sad-looking eyes along with tall foreheads. These features support an immense brain sac which flops oddly behind their heads. There is no visible mouth present on their faces though it is thought that multiple fleshy folds beneath the eyes served vocal oral communication needs. Their evolution on their homeworld means that they are comfortable in Type II atmospheres with Type I being unpleasant to them. As such, when traveling through such an environment, they wear odd spongy communication devices to cover their communication folds. Gree possess multiple tentacles with each holding a particular function. The first pair serves as fine manipulators, another as heavy grippers, and the third as ambulators.

Society and Culture

Gree mark their foreheads with hieroglyphic tattoos to denote caste and rank. Crafters produce devices, Researchers create new technologies, Operators know how to "Play" the devices, and Administrators function as the Gree government. The gree lacked any form of a warrior caste and instead had used droids in the past for such a role. As gree engineering reached its zenith, the Operators came to dominate the other castes. Eventually, the Researchers and Crafters disappeared entirely. Their society became apathetic, with the Operators and Administrators concerned only with maintaining their cultural purity and keeping what devices they can still understand in operation.

Names

Gree names are agendered and do not use surnames, but all gree names end with an apostrophe followed by the letter 'K' to denote their connection to gree-kind.

Biology and Appearance

Hassks are a species of subhumanoids almost entirely covered with coarse stringy fur. Their faces, however, are hairless, revealing dry skin. They have sensitive ears, two large forward-facing eyes that give them a keen night vision, all the better for hunting. Their eyes are their most distinctive feature, leading to the phrase "caught in a hassk's gaze," referring to someone caught in a dangerous situation. Their mouths are filled with flesh-tearing fangs. Hassk are near-feral, and are thought of by most as wild animals.

Society and Culture

When they were first confronted with advanced technology, the hassks were not prepared for its impact on morality. Consequently, many leave Hasskyn to roam the galaxy with their littermates, making trouble in places of ill repute. Because of this, most hassks seen in the galaxy are found in professions of ill repute, such as pirate or gang member, which leads to the preconceived notion in many species that hassks are naturally inclined towards these destructive activities. The most important thing to all hassks is their litter, which they are seldom seen without. A litter typically consists of three to four hassks who travel together for all of their lives, as the bond between littermates is incredibly strong. A hassk seen alone is often thought of with a mix of confusion and worry.

Names

Hassks are named after natural phenomena, animals, and other words that people would consider intimidating or dangerous. Mothers name the first litter, while subsequent litters are named by the previous children as to form bonds between them early on. Hassks do not use surnames.

Male Names. Brakk, Graiv, Narvust, Ripper

Female Names. Growl, Harkas, Klau, Rulsk

Biology and Appearance

Hiromi are a bipedal, sentient, insectoid species. They have yellow eyes, two long antennae on their heads, and unlike many insectoid species, tongues.

Society and Culture

The most prominent trait of the hiromi is their instinct for self-preservation. One of their favorite activities is, in their words, "not getting beaten up". Hiromi become very fearful when the possibility of being in danger came up, and are quick to suggest alternatives to fighting—including bringing in reinforcements to fight in their stead, hiding, and going home. Nonetheless, when they are truly needed, the hiromi charge headlong into whatever task is required of them, though they are no less afraid as they do so. The hiromi have a grandiose image of themselves, claiming to be "glorious conquerors," though their short attention spans mean that their grand long-term plans, such as galactic control, are frequently derailed by thoughts of food or play. Other words they use to describe themselves included "glorious", "ruthless", and "supreme". Hiromi secretly dream of galactic conquest, and have been waiting for the opportunity to take control of the entire galaxy, but when they do so, their attempts will be abysmal. Hiromi consider themselves to be ruthless masters of interrogation, and back this claim up by making subjects crack in a short time by relentlessly bombarding them with shouts of "Talk!". Another activity the hiromi enjoy greatly is cheering. Whenever they achieve any kind of victory, they will praise themselves and let out a cheer. This is a very important part of any activity. Finally, the hiromi have a great passion for food.

Names

Hiromi names are blunt and grating to outsiders, forgoing surnames for a unified species-wide "family."

First Names. Gedrol, Hecuba, Phoodog, Tukkyr

Hiromi Traits

As a hiromi, you have the following special traits.

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

Biology and Appearance

H'nemthe are humanoid reptilians with long noses and ridged, bony faces. H'nemthe have four small horns, actually sensory cones, on their heads. These cones are used much like the way gotals use their cones—to sense electromagnetic fields and weather patterns. These cones are also able to sense heat differences in their environment as well as the emotional state of other beings, making them skilled hunters.

Society and Culture

The highly structured h'nemthe society is shaped by the natural ratio of the sexes: only one female is born for every twenty males. Despite this imbalance, their culture is based primarily on the search for true love and the creation of new life, which they consider to be the ultimate in spiritual fulfillment. When a female h'nemthe consummates her relationship with a male, she eviscerated him with her knife-shaped tongue, considering it a proof of love. As a result, mating happens very rarely, and then only in the case of true love. Since virgin females are rare, they live a sheltered existence, and are seldom allowed to leave their homeworld. Strict traditions also restrict females to a vegetarian diet, ensuring that their first lover's flesh is the first meat they taste. The males are timid and spend a considerable amount of their lives looking for true love. H'nemthe prize music, and their music in turn is considered pleasant by non-h'nemthe. They also value calligraphy, and h'nemthe who have either of these skills are given great accord in their culture. Poetry is also very important to the h'nemthe, and it is traditional for lovers to write each other poems.

Names

H'nemthe use swooping tones, with only females taking their mates' name as a surname after mating.

Male Names. Garriel, H'rassh, Ledaf, Vir'roc

Female Names. Do'niiya, Liakkor, S'basso, Vishki

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Creative. You have proficiency with with one artisan’s implements of your choice.

Energy Sensors. H'nemthe perceive the environment around them through use of electromagnetic sensors held in their cranial horns. You have blindsight out to 30 feet. If another trait would grant you blindsight, the range is increased by half as many feet.

Musician. You are proficient in one musical instrument of your choice.

Natural Empathy. H'nemthe's electromagnetic sensors allow them to sense the emotions in those around them. You have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks to determine emotions against humanoids and beasts within 10 feet of you.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Galactic Basic and H'nemthe. H'nemthe is mainly formed by squeals and squeaks, many other species finding it irritating. On written form, the language uses a wispy contiguous line, so that letters string together forming words.

Biology and Appearance

Despite their stocky builds, iakaru are a surprisingly dexterous species, able to rapidly scale trees and swing from branch to branch in the tree canopies of Iakar. Having evolved in a jungle canopy, iakaru have exceptional spatial awareness, aided by sensitive brow tufts. Swinging through the dense trees requires keen eyesight, accurate depth perception, and quick reflexes, all traits the iakaru possess. All of these adaptations, coupled with their remarkable toughness, help the iakaru outrun the dangerous fauna that are native to the jungles of Iakar.

Society and Culture

For most of recorded history, iakaru have been an uncommon sight in the galaxy, as they haven't developed hyperdrive technology. Their homeworld Iakar has been visited by interstellar trade for nearly centuries however. Pharmaceutical corporations draw valuable organic compounds from the lush rain forests girdling the planet. During the Clone Wars, companies set up major research installations on Iakar, which drove the iakaru deeper into the jungle and strained the tentative trading relationships the natives had established with the offworlders.

Iakaru live together in small, familial tribes deep in the heart of the jungle. This was not their original home, as they use to be able to roam the planet freely, making homes on the edges of the jungles. However the constant misuse of their homeworld's resources by offworlders, often assisted by hostile militaries, pushed them deeper and deeper into the jungle.

Names

Iakaru typically have simple guttural names, without using surnames. Ancient iakaru used to use tribal surnames, but the practice has long since died out.

Biology and Appearance

Iotrans have smooth skin with a broad, flat nose, no discernible ears, and two-toed feet. They have distinctive spots on their bald heads, knobby protrusions at their temples, and short, stubby spikes protecting their shoulders, elbows, and hands.

Society and Culture

Iotrans firmly believe in a strong, stable culture, and see that as only achievable through a strong military tradition. Even before their planet was unified, their nations possessed strong militaries, until these militaries were merged into the Iotran Police Force (IPF), which enforces law and provides emergency services on Iotra and throughout the Iotran Expanse. From an early age, iotrans are trained for military service, and in their fourteenth season, (approximately 18 standard years of age) they are inducted into the IPF for approximately six standard years. At any given time, nearly half of the population is part of the IPF in one form or another. Especially talented enlistees in the IPF often become Iotran Bracemen, which track down fugitives outside of the Iotran Expanse, often without regard for local laws or for what other species call "jurisdiction"; this often results in diplomatic incidents. Iotran technology is primitive by galactic standards, typified by slugthrowers, surface vehicles, and simplistic computer and droid technology. However, they adopted galactic standard technology for much of their defense industry, and most iotrans are quite at home with modern tech. Iotrans, though not generally respectful toward other cultures, do respect stability and might.

Biology and Appearance

The ishi tib are amphibious beings with large eyes on stalks and beak-like mouths. Their heads are star-shaped, with their eyestalks, beaks, and cheek pouches forming a five-pointed star. Their lungs double as internal gills, and they have an acute sense of smell on land or in the water. Their green skins retain humidity, but an ishi tib have to bathe in salt water every thirty hours or so, or their skin would crack open.

Society and Culture

Ishi Tib live in schools, communal groups of thousands of individuals, governed by elected representatives who hold office for one-year terms. An ishi tib does not know the identity of his or her birth parents, because each ishi tib school assumes responsibility for the welfare of its hatchlings, creating a strong sense of community and promoting the needs of the group over those of an individual. Unlike species that have wrecked environmental havoc upon their homeworlds, ishi tib protect their planet with extensive laws legislating ecological preservation.

Ishi Tib are considered meticulous strategists and managers. The minority of ishi tib who leave Tibrin often find work offworld as executives, accountants, and project managers. Their organizational skills and drive to complete their projects place them in high demand, making many offworld ishi tib quite wealthy. Ishi Tib often choose to work in positions where reverence for nature was as or more important than profit.

Biology and Appearance

Kerestians are tall and broad-shouldered with pale skin, slit-pupiled eyes, and twin manes of long, thick hair. The breather tubes on their faces were once used for long-range, high-frequency communication, but that ability was lost over time.

Society and Culture

At one point, the kerestians had developed a sophisticated civilization, complete with fusion technology and sublight space travel. However, disaster struck when their variable sun went into an inactive cycle. The sun's power was greatly reduced, and the amount of light and heat reaching Kerest was greatly diminished. Temperatures plunged, and the glaciers advanced to cover all of Kerest save a thin band around the equator. Their civilization descended into barbarism. The surviving kerestians became aggressive, determined hunters, even killing one another without remorse if necessary to survive, or even for sport. Over the centuries, the kerestian species approached extinction. Perhaps because of the reduction of their sun's power, kerestians developed a mythology that upon death, the soul of an individual is doomed for all eternity to wallow in the Great Darkness. Kerestians are unafraid of such a fate, instead embracing it and attaching it to the ritualistic significance behind their traditional darksticks. Before their civilization collapsed, several sublight colony ships were launched. The kerestians on board, when taken out of cryogenic suspension, prove to be a highly civilized and disciplined people, quite different from their savage cousins.

Names

Kerestians use exotic sounding names, with surname use depending on the individual's tribe.

First Names. Anzella, Meergolo, Ossune, Sallabas

Surnames. Fefret, Keth, Thun, Vise

Biology and Appearance

Descended from the quadruped predators of the savannas and jungles of Kerkoidia, kerkoiden are hunched beings with rough skin. Their bodies still show signs of predatory physiology, namely their long claws and jutting teeth. Kerkoiden have tall, slender heads with long snouts and narrow eyes.

Society and Culture

The kerkoiden species as a whole has fought to evolve beyond their predatory ancestry and prove to the galaxy that they are sophisticated and civilized. Many kerkoiden nobles pride themselves on superior breeding and also on being refined and sophisticated enough to rub elbows with the galaxy's elite on Coruscant. Of course, this also leads to elitism among the kerkoidens, which does the species no favors on the galactic scene. The kerkoiden have shifted many of their cunning predatory instincts over to the social arena, becoming savory politicians on a galactic scale. Most kerkoiden are pushy if not outright aggressive. They regard everyone with suspicion, and expect deception from their political and social rivals. Additionally, many kerkoiden would like to believe that their people are more evolved and sophisticated than their heritage suggests, leading them to be both elitist and arrogant at times. Economically, they have become very industrialized and believe strongly in capitalism, which they see as an indicator of a true civilization. They specialize in narrow fields of work, and they typically begin schooling for their specific career as early as ten years old.

Names

Kerkoiden typically have gruff, intimidating names, with several royal bloodlines reaching back thousands of years.
