A WORD ABOUT THE LAYOUT OF THIS BOOK Wizards of the Coast already published an impressive collection of alien stats in its “Ultimate Alien Anthology” for the Revised Core Rulebook edition of the Star Wars Role Playing Game. The dedicated fans using the monikers “WizO_Tao” and “Isirga Eth” on the Wizards.com community boards undertook the Herculean task of converting all these aliens to Saga Edition Rules. Their stats appear in the two appendices of this book, the first containing WizO_Tao’s conversions and the second containing those of Isirga Eth. The focus of the the main portion of this book, however, is an alphabetical listing of stats (with full-color pictures and textual write-ups) for the aliens left out of WotC’s Ultimate Alien Anthology. This idea arose from a discussion at the Wizards.com forums (at http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=871589). The author and contributors of this book could not possibly provide stats for all the alien species in the Star Wars mythos – indeed, the mythos itself is as yet incomplete with respect to many alien species; some have names but nothing more, some are mentioned or described in various sources but have no names. And even the aliens that are fully described and named are too numerous to include here. The stats that do appear in this book represent a good faith effort by the author and collective contributors to include those requested by fans at the Wizards.com community boards. These stats have been created from scratch, mostly by Isirga Eth. I have also contributed to some of the statting, although my part in this book was mostly just compiling, writing the flavor text, and formatting. For the most part, Isirga and I relied on Wookieepedia.com for the information about each species upon which we based our stats. There are some instances – and they are few, fortunately – where official information was so sparse, however, that we had to “fill in the blanks” a bit, such as with the Iridorian (which may well simply be a misspelling of Iridonian), Jin’ha, Kurtzen, Tarentian and a few others. But for the most part, our goal was to provide stats that reflected what has already been established about each species in existing canon. Some stats, like the Nautolan and Devaronian, are the official Wizards of the Coast stats, provided in free source material; these official stats are clearly designated as “official Wizards of the Coast stats” in the individual write-ups, and are included here for the reader’s convenience. Other generous contributers (for whom I cannot speak regarding their sources…although their ultimate products seem consistent with canon) include, in order of appearance at the original Wizards.com bulletin board thread: PeteyRock DrowBattleMind TwoRiversWolfbrother Valheru LordLightVader Eli the Tanner HarmonysRage and RavenFury I also owe a debt of gratitude to the folks at Galileo Games for their awesome Bulldogs! d20 science fiction RPG book (which uses the Open License agreement of the older d20 edition), especially the chapter on creating balanced alien stats. Although not every aspect of the Bulldogs! alien generation charts translates over perfectly to Saga Edition, the skills I learned from the Bulldogs! charts were invaluable in this project. There will likely be further versions of this book. Consider this version 1.0. As more official stats are released in web enhancements, as more requests for fan-made alien stats pour in at the original thread on the Wizards.com community boards, and as I and others find the time to create more alien stats, they will eventually appear here. I would like to once again thank RavenFury for offering to host this fan-made sourcebook at his “d20 Saga Edition Project” website. I consider it an honor to have it offered side-by-side with his ambitious and well designed “Afterburn” starship sourcebook. I hope fellow fans enjoy this labor of love. Game on!

ALEENA

Aleena are a short, scaly, reptilian species hailing from the small, tropical world of Aleen, located along the path of one of the galaxy’s larger trade routes. The planet and its primitive denizens were discovered by a starship crew who set down for repairs. Since that initial meeting, the Aleena have embraced the greater galactic community, importing technology and traveling the space lanes in search of adventure and new contests of sport and challenge, a passion of the species. Rarely over a meter tall, Aleena have scaly, gray-blue hides, stubby limbs and distinctive, elongated skulls. Males are slightly larger than females on average. Typically, Aleena travel

in groups, often family clans. This, and their quick reflexes, are evolutionary defenses against the large carnivorous predators of their homeworld, such as the sagcatchers. The Aleena love of sports, particularly adventure and thrill sports, has drawn many into the galactic community. Most who enter professional classes would be experts or diplomats, while hero Aleena tend to be gregarious Fringers, Scouts, Scoundrels or Nobles. They travel to feed their love of adventure and new experiences. Aleena are social and tend to thrive best in with close-knit teams if not with their own kind. They develop strong loyalties to friends and will protect those they care about fiercely. Jedi Aleena are known. Aleena are a friendly people, casting their loyalty to those they value like family. The word of an Aleena is considered by many to be unquestionable. Their love of contests of skill makes them a competitive race, though usually this competition is warm-hearted. Appearances and Examples: Ratts Tyerell raced against Anakin Skywalker in the Boonta Eve pod race in “The Phantom Menace.” Abilitiy Modifiers: +2 Dex, -2 Str, -2 Con Natural Alertness: Aleena may reroll any Perception check, but result must be kept even if it is worse. Pack Attack: If an Aleena is performing Aid Another with comrades of the same species, the bonus becomes +3 instead of it normally being +2. This extra bonus does not apply if an Aleena is performing Aid Another with a different species. Conditional Bonus Feat: If trained in the Perception skill, Aleena are automatically granted Skill Focus: Perception as a bonus feat. Size: small Speed: 4 squares Language: Aleena and Basic

ANSIONIAN

Ansionians are tall and thin. In addition to possessing only one nostril, they have relatively large eyes. The Ansionians hail from the planet of Ansion, and are known to be lovers of peace. Many Ansionians, called Alwari, live in tribal factions on the plains, away from the human settler-created cities. They are relatively nomadic and resent technology and the fact that it has ruined the face of their planet, but not to such an extent so as to cause violence. Appearances and Examples: Ansionians appeared in the Clone Wars era novel “The Approaching Storm.”

Two hearts: A member of this species that dies from falling to 0 hp may make an Endurance check (DC 15); if the check is successful, the character is only unconscious, as her spare heart kicks in. Darkvision: as described in the SECR. Conditional Bonus Feats: Urban or ‘standard’ ansionians that are trained in Knowledge (Bureaucracy) and/or Persuasion gain Skill Focus in these skills. Alwari or ‘wild’ ansionians gain Skill Focus (Ride) and Skill Focus (Survival) if they are trained in these skills. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Languages: Ansionian, Basic

ANSIONIAN, GWURRAN

The Gwurran of Ansion are distantly related to Ansionians, only smaller, with brown fur, and tails as long as a human arm. They are hyperactive, inquisitive beings who live primitively off the land and who steal the food of travelers passing through the hills. The Gwurran deeply hate their taller rural brethren, the Alwari, who consider them to be backward. Appearances and Examples: Tooqui, an Ansionian Gwurran appeared in the Clone Wars era novel

“The Approaching Storm.” Str –2, Dex +2 Two hearts: A member of this species that dies from falling to 0 hp may make an Endurance check (DC 15); if the check is successful, the character is only unconscious, as her spare heart kicks in. Prehensile Tail: A member of this species with Martial Arts I also gains Dual Weapon Mastery I as a bonus feat. The Character gains a +2 species bonus on grab checks. Darkvision: as described in the SECR. Conditional Bonus Feats: A gwurran ansionian gains Skill Focus (Stealth) if trained in that skill. Size: Small (+1 to Reflex Defense, +5 on Stealth checks, –5 on Grapple checks, reduced carrying capacity and damage) Speed: 4 squares. Languages: Ansionian, Basic

ANNOO-DAT (PRIME)

The Annoo-dat is a four eyed, reptilian race hailing from the planet Annoo. The average height for an Annoo-dat male is 6 and one-half feet, while females are half a foot shorter on average. The Annoo-dat tend to have rough, yellow, scaled skin, with a small row of spines running down their backs and to the end of their short tails. Annoo-dat have four eyes; the upper two are red and the lower two are blue.

3

The Annoo-dat conquered the home planet of the Rets and changed its name to Annoo after the original homeworld of the Annoo-dat. After a century of Annoo-dat rule, the Rets came to call themselves Annoo-dat and the two cultures largely merged, with the Dat-an

language replacing the native language of the Rets. To distinguish between the two species, xenobiologists called the Ret the “Annoo-dat Blue” and the original Annoo-dat conquerors’ species the “Annoo-dat Prime.” Neither species made such distinctions. Apppearances and Examples: Annoo-dat appear in the Jango Fett and Zam Wesell comics by Dark Horse. Annoo-dat Prime Species Traits: Abilities Modifiers: Str +2, Dex –2, Wis –2, Cha +2 Natural weapons: A member of this species may make a tail attack (base damage 1d6 plus twice the character’s Str modifier) instead of an unarmed attack, or as an off-hand attack. Tail attacks count as one-handed melee weapons. A character can apply Weapon Focus (and derived talents) to its own natural weapons. Natural armor: A member of this species gains a +2 armor bonus to its Reflex defense. Darkvision: as described in the SECR. Color change: Annoo-Dat change color according to their emotions; this gives them a –2 penalty on Deception and Persuasion checks made to hide their true intentions. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Languages: Dat-an, Basic ARAMANDI

The Aramandi are four-armed, four-eyed, humanoid jungle dwellers from the heavy-gravity planet Aram. Their skin color ranges from pink to light brown, and their solid eyes are black. The Aramandi hold strongly to the beliefs of the Eeronon, a strict and ancient religion that dictates the structure of Aramandi society and emphasizes colonizing other star systems, and divide themselves into four distinct clans or “akia”: the Orma, the Cirra, the Mila, and the Lota. They jealously guard the Aramand Cluster, within the Brak Sector, because they consider it their home territory. Appearances and Examples: The Aramandi appeared in Star Wars Adventure Journal, Issue 14. Aramandi Species Traits:

Ability Adjustments: Con +2, Int –2 Extra limbs: Members of this species have an extra set of manipulative limbs. They gain Dual Weapon Mastery I, Pin and Skill Focus (Climb) as conditional bonus feats (they must meet the corresponding prerequisites). All the benefits of these feats are lost if the character ever loses more than one limb. Environmental adaptation: Aramandi are adapted to the high pressures and thick atmosphere of their homeworld. When in

other planets, they must don a breath mask or go down 1 step on the Condition Track every 8 hours. This persistent condition may not be removed unless the aramandi puts on a breath mask or returns to his planet for at least 8 straight hours. Size: Small (+1 to Reflex Defense, +5 on Stealth checks, –5 on Grapple checks, reduced carrying capacity and damage) Speed: 4 squares. Language: Aramandi, Basic ARUZAN

Aruzans, the inhabitants of Aruza, are humanoids with faintly blue skin and dark, nearly black hair. They have the ability to share their memories and emotions with one another by means of cybernetic implants. During the time of Imperial subjugation, the enslaved Aruzans hired the bounty hunter Dengar to assassinate General Kritkeen, who was the planetary commander. Appearances and Examples: Aruzans, including Dengar’s wife Manaroo, appeared in “Payback: The Tale of Dengar” from the novel “Tales of the Bounty Hunters,” and also in the novel “The Mandalorian Armor.”

Ability Modifiers: Wis +2, Cha +2 Attanni implant: All Aruzans have attanni implants (see below). Violence aversion: An Aruzan must succeed on a Wisdom check (DC 10) to engage in any violent action. If the check fails, the Aruzan can take no actions during his turn. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Languages: Aruzan, Basic

Attanni Implant This cybernetic implant allows the user to share its feelings and emotions with other attanni implant wearers. Any character with an attanni implant automatically knows (and feels) the emotions felt by the wearer of another attanni implant. Attanni implants cost 2000 credits.

share many human features.

ASKAJIAN

The Askajians hail from a planet just off of the Rimma Trade Route that makes Tatooine look like the garden spot of the Outer Rim – Askajia. Their homeworld being entirely covered wdesert, the natives of the planet not only survive but thrive in the hostile environment. Beinga primitive people, the only thing they export from the planet, aside from the occasioslave, is tomuon fabric. Tomuon is prized due to its uncommon set of qualities – strong, wrinkle-resistant, yet soft to the touch. The fabric is made by the weavers of the Askajiantribes; many wars have been waged on Askajia for weavers. Dancing is also held in high regard in their culture. Askajian society is a tribal one. Askajians always put their tribe’s needs before their own. If separated from their tribe they will treat their companions as their tribe. Exobiologists have been unable to determine if the Askajians were once baseline humans that became stranded on Askaj thousands of generations ago or if they are indigenous to the planet and simply One feature they do not share with their human counterparts is their amazing ability to store

water efficiently inside their bodies, leading to the misconception that they are obese. If they use all of the water held by

their body, they more closely resemble humans. Askajians also have six breasts, which, for females, develop as secondary sexual characteristics and serve to provide nourishment to the large brood of children typical of Askajian reproduction. Askajians females in the galaxy are often employed as dancers and weavers; while the males occasionally hold positions as mercenaries or bodyguards. Appearances and Examples: The zaftig Askajian Yarna d’al’Gargan danced for Jabba the Hutt in “Return of the Jedi.” Ability Modifiers: +2 Con, -2 Dex May reroll Survival checks in desert conditions, but second roll must be kept even if it is worse. May reroll Endurance checks, but second roll must be kept even if it is worse. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares Languages: Askajian, Basic ASSEMBLER

The Assembler species is rare and elusive. The main Assembler form is a large spider-like creature that is mentally linked to smaller versions of itself. Each "node" as the mini-Assemblers are called, is delegated a specific task to carry out (i.e. "lookouts" act similar to cameras, pilots will concentrate on navigating the immense cocoon that an Assembler constructs for its numerous nodes and itself so that they can survive in space). Because of the intelligence given to each node, and the fact that each node can grow up to become a full Assembler, the main Assembler must be wary enough to kill the nodes before they become mature enough to arrange the Assembler's demise, directly or indirectly, and take over its place; however, since nodes become more useful as they mature and grow, the main Assembler always faces a dilemma as to when to kill its nodes. It seems probable that this trait is somehow beneficial to the population as a whole, possibly because it ensures that an Assembler is crafty and clever; it would not have become an Assembler or remained an Assembler long if it were not.

Appearances and Examples: Kud'ar Mub'at appears in the novel “The Mandalorian Armor.”

5

Ability Modifiers: Dex –4, Con +2, Int +4 Brain web: An assembler’s brain has the form of a Gargantuan tube-shaped web, which drifts through space carrying the assembler and its brain nodes. This brain can be used as a computer (with an Intelligence equal to the assembler’s Int score) to make calculations and obtain information. A non-assembler may not access this computer, unless the assembler’s ‘nodes’ help the process. An assembler’s brain may generate a replica of the assembler, a smaller arachnid ‘node’ that skitters up and down the web carrying on the tasks assigned by its ‘master’. If an assembler dies, it may be revived by making a Repair check (DC 30) on the remains of its web. An assembler´s web has 100 hit points and DR 15. If an assembler’s web is hit by a single attack dealing damage equal to or higher than the assembler´s Damage Threshold, the assembler immediately goes down 1 persistent step in the Condition Track. If the web is destroyed, the assembler dies. Vacuum immunity: An assembler is unaffected by vacuum-related penalties, effects and hazards. Stability: An assembler gains a +2 bonus on checks to avoid being tripped or bantha rushed. Web improvement: An assembler constantly strives to improve the function of its web. Every time an assembler gains an ability score increase (by reaching 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th or 20th level) it must give one of the two increases to its Intelligence score. Independent nodes: An assembler has a number of nodes equal to its Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). Assemblers start as smaller versions of the assembler (Small size, same ability scores as the assembler but applying ‘child’ age modifiers); every time the assembler increases its ability scores by any means, the nodes increase the same ability scores by 1. If a node reaches Intelligence 13 or higher, it revolts against the assembler, and becomes an NPC under the GM’s

control, with a Hostile attitude towards the assembler that created it. Confined to web: An assembler cannot leave its web, as it is attached by neurofibers directly connected to the assembler’s own nervous system. Size: Large (–1 to Reflex Defense, –5 on Stealth checks, +5 on Grapple checks, +5 to Damage Threshold, increased carrying capacity and damage) Speed: 8 squares. Language: Native tongue & Basic

BOLTRUNIAN

Boltrunians are a large, muscular, long-lived species with hairless heads, craggy faces, wide noses, and heavy brow ridges. They appear reptilian, but are, in fact, warm-blooded mammals. In fact, Boltrunian resemble Trandoshans enough to confuse the less savvy. The Boltrunian lifespan can exceed 700 years. Appearances and Examples: The Dark Jedi Maw appears in the “Jedi Knight: Dark Forces” videogames Boltrunian Species Traits:

Ability Modifiers: Str +2, Con +2, Int –2, Wis –2 Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Boltrunian & Basic B’OMARR MONK (Template)

With the GM’s permission, a starting character may choose the B’omarr monk template for a character of nearly any species. Also with the GM’s permission, an existing character may undergo the brain transplant surgery to implant his brain in a robotic walker. The mysterious order of the B’omarr monks moved to the planet Tatooine many centuries before the Battle of Yavin. They believed that cutting themselves off from all civilization and distraction was essential to their enlightenment. Forgotten by the Republic and populated only by uncommunicative local tribes, Tatooine offered a perfect haven. The Monks arrived aboard half a dozen cargo ships, which formed the basis of their original monastery on Tatooine on

the edge of The Dune Sea, and spent quiet centuries in meditation as they covered and enclosed it after encounters with sand storms and Sand People. Many people have cohabitated with the monks in the Monastery, adding to its monstrous halls where they could, before moving on – most notably the bandit Alkhara and the gangster Jabba the Hutt. The monks are a very quiet people, consisting of many races, and species. Their minimalist philosophy enables them to go for months without saying a word to one another. Discourse and lectures are whittled down to a single word on which the monks must meditate. At a certain point in a monk’s quest for enlightenment, the lesser monks of the order assist in a “shedding” surgery. The body, seen as a distraction, is discarded. The monk’s brain is inserted into a nutrient jar and hooked to life-sustaining apparatus on a shelf, where it can while away the millennia in contemplation of the cosmos. This service is also paid to those who have themselves rendered service to the monks, as in the case of Alkhara and the many criminals before him who resided in the monastery.

7

When a B’omarr monk reaches “enlightenment” and undergoes the “shedding” of his body (i.e., when a character chooses the B’omarr monk template), he no longer needs to sleep. The nutrients and stationary apparatus that keep the brain alive also provide the regenerative effects that sleep normally would. The monk also acquires a limited form of Force Sensitivity, and, while not necessarily gaining the “Force Sensitive” feat itself (although a character may take the feat when otherwise permitted by character generation or level advancement), gains the ability to use the Telepathy subskill as if he were trained in the Use the Force Skill. For purposes of using the Telepathy subskill, a disembodied Monk may choose as his “specific target” his “brain walker,” a robotic, spider-shaped apparatus which picks up his jar, and secures it so he can become mobile. If an enlightened monk is a heroic character, he can use the Telepathy subskill on others besides members of the order and his robotic walker; otherwise, the telepathy is limited to only other B’omarr monks and the monk’s own walker. If an enlightened monk is encountered walking the halls of the monastery in his brain walker, he is given wide berth, and often is bowed to. The walkers have only rudimentary processors with sensors tuned to detect certain energy signals associated with telepathic activity. The built-in brain support unit allows the living brain of the monk to survive while it is not attached directly to the support equipment in the deepest parts of the B’omarr monastery. The telepathic sensors attune themselves to the attached brain and cannot be manipulated by other telepaths while the brain is conscious. The less enlightened members of the B’omarr monks – those who still have bodies – construct the walkers from readily obtained parts according to an ancient set of blueprints. Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, some of the initiates had begun experimenting with alternate designs, resulting in walkers with five or six legs, instead of the usual four. Provided at least two of the limbs of the walker are used as legs, the remaining limbs may be used as arms. The walker itself uses a combination of vibration sensitivity and echolocation to send “visual” images to the brain. This “blindsight” makes darkness irrelevant to the B’omar monk. Thanks to reliable anesthesia, the process of transferring a living being’s brain into a suitable container is painless, but not easy, requiring a Treat Injury check as per the “install cybernetic prosthesis” subskill, the Cybernetic Surgery feat and a surgery kit to keep the brain alive long enough for transplantation. A bacta tank provides a +5 equipment bonus to the surgery and the patient-initiate’s Will Save. Failure on the surgery check means that the brain does not survive and is discarded along with the lifeless corpse. A partial success on the surgery attempt is achieved at DC 25; the patient suffers -10 persistent steps on the Condition Track (i.e., must heal all 5 steps of the Condition Track twice) and must make a DC 10 CON check each day to move up one step on the “double” Condition Track. Normal healing will not remove the persistent condition; the persistent condition still applies its negatives on this check, at up to a -10 penalty depending on where along the “double” Condition Track the patient-initiate is. A complete success on the surgery is achieved at DC 30, in which case the brain is transplanted without ill conditions. Though rare, it is possible for a B’omarr monk to transplant one of their enlightened members into a physical form again using the same system, except the surgeon suffers a -5 to his Treat Injury roll, so it is considerably more risky than the original procedure. B’omarr monks are organic beings, although the disembodied monks typically ambulate by means of a robotic body. Since their brains are organic, they are capable of being Force Sensitive. The stats are figured differently for the brain and for the robotic walker, as shown below, the former being a template, and the latter being treated as a cyborg. Appearances and Examples: B’omarr Monks appear in Jabba the Hutt’s palace in “Return of the Jedi.” Template for Disembodied B’omarr Monk: Defense: treated as “helpless” (As in SECR) HPs = Con ÷ 4 Speed: 0 sq.

Bouncers are furry, green, floating orbs with long, tapering tails, and live in the Valley of the Jedi in Sulon on the planet Ruusan. Morgan Katarn, the father of Kyle Katarn, discovered and named the creatures. Bouncers apparently move with the wind, lifting flaps of skin as sails to guide their bodies. They bounce orock outcroppings and other geographic formations to ascend to heights highenough for air travel. Bouncers are attuned to the Force and can commwith those who can manipulate it. They become hostile when exposed to largamounts of energy from the Dark Side of the Force, such as Lord Kaan's thought bomb. Appearances and Examples: Bouncers appear in the novellas and audio dramatizations of “Star Wars: Dark Forces” and in the novel “Darth Bane: P

of Destruction.” Ability Modifiers: Str –2, Dex +2, Con –2 Bouncing: A bouncer may float like a balloon, which grants it theability to take 10 on any Climb check. Furthermore, by making use of the wind and bouncing off surfaces, a bouncer may make a special Acrobatics check (DC 15) once every round. If the check is successful, the bouncer gains a fly speed, with a speed of 6 squares, until the beginning of its next turn. Limited prediction: A bouncer has the Farseeing power, just as if it had gained it from the Force Training feat. If a bouncer

gains Force Training, it may add a free instance of Farseeing to its power suite. When using farseeing, a bouncer may also use the visions Force Talent; however, if it chooses to do so, it goes down–2 persistent steps on the Condition Track. Bonus Feat: Members of this species gain Force-Sensitive as a bonus feat. Darkvision: as described in the SECR. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Bouncer & Basic BRIZZIT

The Brizzit are an insectoid species, characterized by fang-like protrusions from their proboscis and large, multi-colored, multi-faceted eyes. Despite their distinctive appearance, an individual Brizzit is difficult to identify among others of its kind.

Ability Modifiers: +2 Con, -2 Cha Multi-faceted eyes: May reroll Perception checks, but must keep the second result. Darkvision (compound eyes) Cartilaginous body: a Brizzit’s light-weight, cartilaginous body grants the ability to reroll Endurance checks, but the second roll must be kept even if it

is worse. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares Languages: Basic, Brizzit BRODO ASOGIAN

This peaceful species of Force-users from the planet Brodo Asogi have tan to dark brown skin; short, stubby legs; and long, thin arms on a boxy torso. Their large, round eyes sit above a small nose and mouth. They are typically 1.2 to 1.5 m in height, but their large head sits on a skinny neck which can telescope up, adding an additional .5 m to their height. They are naturalists and explorers who travel the galaxy in search of rare and medicinal plant specimens to transplant to their homeworld, which was tragically deforested by catastrophic meteor activity. It is rumored that some Brodo Asogian explorers have even traveled to distant galaxies far beyond Wild Space. Their method of doing so is unknown.

One of the first species in the galaxy to develop hyperdrive, the Brodo Asogians were already an established species when the Old Republic first contacted them. For a time, their distinctive globe-shaped starliners were a familiar sight in the Republic’s spaceports, and their voices, although unkindly described as wheezing and bleating, were heeded even at the highest levels of the Senate and the Jedi Council. The Brodo Asogians were known throughout the galaxy as peacemakers and scientists, particularly botanists and biologists. Brodo Asogian philosophers were also among the first to try to understand the Force in a systematic way, and to understand the role of the midi-chlorians. Their technology was also impressive, with many complex machines created from deceptively simple materials. Despite their high levels of civilization, the Brodo Asogians were content with a small role in galactic affairs.

In the chaotic times of the Sith Wars, the voices of their small, pacifist civilization often went unheeded. Centuries later, as the Clone Wars and other disputes signaled the death throes of the Old Republic, their influence became even less. Soon after the ascension of Chancellor Palpatine, Brodo Asogian research vessels stopped traveling the stars and Brodo Asogian diplomats were called home. Few noticed this amidst the disarray of the Clone Wars. By the time of Palpatine’s coronation as Emperor, however, it became apparent that the Brodo Asogians had vanished, leaving their homeworld abandoned. Appearances and Examples: The Brodo Asogians appear in the Senate in “The Phantom Menace.” They are also featured, with the same name, in the novel “E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet.” Ability Modifiers: Str –2, Dex –2, Con +2, Wis +2 Bonus Feat: Brodo Asogians gain Force Sensitive as a bonus feat. Vital transfer: Brodo Asogians may use the Vital Transfer Power just as if they had gained it from the Force Training feat.

Chalactans are near-Humans from the planet Chalacta in the Mid Rim. Their subspecies is characterized by dark hair and swarthy skin. They are a deeply spiritual people.

10

One of the main spiritual orders of the Chalactans, known as the Chalactan Adepts, is a philosophical-mystic order run by the Convocation of Adepts in the Temple of Illumination, the teachings of which include invulnerability to mental manipulation and torture. The Adepts believe that the natural laws that govern the universe also govern the lives of its inhabitants. The goal of each Adept is to seek the Chalactan Enlightenment. Adepts wore the Lesser Mark of Illumination;

once an Adept reached enlightenment he or she wore the Greater Mark of Illumination as well. Appearance and Examples: Depa Billaba appeared in “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones” as a member of the Jedi Council. Depa Billaba also appeared in the Clone Wars novel “Shatterpoint.” Chalactan Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: none Pain Resistance: Chalactans receive a +1 species bonus to Fort and Will saves.

CHAZRACH (also known as REPTOIDS) Chazrach (also known as "reptoids") are short, stocky, reptilian humanoids with stubby snouts who served the Yuuzhan Vong as slave soldiers. They resemble Trandoshans but were much smaller. Like the Yuuzhan Vong, the Chazrach are not native to the Galaxy, having been enslaved during the Yuuzhan Vong's conquest of their galaxy. Unlike the Yuuzhan Vong, however, they have a presence in the Force.

11

For thousands of years, the Chazrach were bred in large numbers as expendable support troops. A pair of dome-like calcifications, surge coral implants, protruded from the forehead of each Chazrach, inhibiting their autonomy and allowing their Yuuzhan Vong masters to control them. However, this proved to be a

disadvantage in battle since they could be easily killed. In battle, the Chazrach were controlled by warbeasts such as Thrall Herders and Rakamats. If a warbeast was destroyed, the Chazrach associated with it would attack anything that moved, including each other. Any form of cognizance and initiative that was possessed by the base species vanished over the generations of genetic tampering by the Shaper caste. This flaw, combined with their small, stocky statures makes them incapable of mastering the use of the standard Amphistaff used by the Warrior caste as a whip. The reptoids instead use the inflexible Coufee, which was better suited to their body form, and an inferior breed of the Amphistaff. A few Chazrach served the Yuuzhan Vong so well over the generations that they were permitted to join the Warrior caste at its most basic levels. It is possible that the Chazrach could regain their intelligence if the surge-coral implants were removed. The fate of the Chazrach after the Yuuzhan Vong War is unknown, though they may have gone with the Yuuzhan Vong to Zonama Sekot. Chazrach Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Con +2, Wis –2, Cha –2 Bonus feat: Chazrach gain Improved Damage Threshold as a bonus feat. Weapon Familiarity: The Coufee counts as a simple weapon for chazrach. Darkvision: as described in the SECR. Size: Small Speed: 4 squares Language: Chazrach, Yuuzhan Vong

Coufee (exotic melee weapon) Size: Small Damage: 1d6/1d6 Weight: 1 kg Special: A coufee counts as a double weapon, allowing a character to strike twice with it on the same round, albeit at a -10 penalty on each attack. A coufee may be wielded one-handed, even by Small creatures

CHISTORI The Chistori are tall, saurian humanoids with a prominent muzzle, an impressive line of teeth, and thick scales. They are physically stronger than an average Human. Like many reptilian species, they are cold-blooded, and like the Trandoshan, have a thick, durable hide. They are fierce warriors whose independence has kept all record of them out of even the Jedi archives. The Chistori have no knowledge of the Force; thus, the exceptionally few Force-sensitives born to this species were feared and persecuted by their fellow Chistori. Chistori Species Traits: Ability Modifier: Str +2 Natural armor: A member of this species gains a +2 armor bonus to its Reflex defense. Allergy: Members of this species move 1 additional persistent step down on the condition track whenever they are affected by cold. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Chistori

COWAY

The Coway are a primitive, gray-furred, humanoid species native to the planet Mimban, of the Circarpous Major System. Coways live deep underground, and have a strong aversion to surface-dwellers. They have small eyes, but are able to see in the dark due to their infrared vision. Additionally, they are able to eat foods normally poisonous to humans because of their more tolerant digestive system. They wear simple, primitive clothing. The underground world of the Coway can be reached through deep shafts known as Thrella Shafts (named after the Thrella, an extinct species known for their numerous underground tunnels and wells). Often these have side-tunnels that lead to Coway dwellings. The tribal government of the Coway consists of a triumvirate who make the major decisions for the tribe.

Appearances and Examples: The Coway appear in the 1978 novel “Splinter of the Mind's Eye,” by Alan Dean Foster. Coway Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Con +2, Int –2 Poison resistant: Coway gain a +5 bonus to their Fortitude defense against ingested poisons. Darkvision: as described in the SECR.

CROKE The Croke are a very small species, about the size of a Wookiee’s fist, resembling snails with furry spider-like legs. The Croke developed on a planet known as Crakull, a planet with a very thin atmosphere within the Unknown Regions. As a result, a Croke’s body is able to withstand the void of space. Croke have a reputation for being unpleasant and evil, and possess the ability to shapeshift and cast illusions.

Appearances and Examples: Rokur Gepta appeared in the “Adventures of Lando Calrissian” trilogy of novels.

Ability Modifiers: Str –10, Int +2, Wis +2, Cha +2 Shapeshifting: A croke is a diminutive slug-like creature; however, it may alter its form to that of any living creature of up to Medium size. To transform into a creature, the croke must have personally seen a creature of the same type at least once. The croke gains the bonuses, penalties, unarmed damage and carrying capacity of the creature it transforms into; its Strength score also increases (+2 if it shapeshifts into a Tiny creature, +5 if it shapeshifts into a Small creature, and +10 if it takes a Medium-sized form). A croke may remain shapeshifted indefinitely, but it reverts to its original form if killed. A croke does not gain the mental traits, ability bonuses, mental powers, feats, skills or psychological limitations of the new form, but it gains physical ability bonuses and traits relying on its physical form (such as scent, low-light vision, natural armor, natural weapons, physical addictions and allergies). Regeneration: A croke may spend a Force Point to recover from any persistent condition, just as if it had the Equilibrium Force Talent. Immortality: A croke does not die of old age and it isn’t subject to aging effects; it may be slain normally. vacuum resistance: A croke gains a +5 bonus to its Fortitude defense against vacuum-related hazards.

Devaronians are humanoids from the Expansion Region world Devaron, a planet of low mountains and deep valleys linked by thousands of rivers. They are one of the more unusual races in the galaxy, with a dramatic gender dimorphism in appearance and temperament. Males are docile, non-aggressive creatures, completely hairless, with sharp incisors, (usually) red-tinted skin and a pair of large horns growing from their heads. They take great pride in their horns, and groom them quite regularly. Females lack horns, have molars and prominent canines and are covered in thick calico fur that ranges in color from brown to white. They are aggressive by nature, atended to dominate their culture (and are the only ones allowed in government).

One in fifty Devaronian males had two sets of teeth, an inner set of sharp "male" teeth and an outer, retractable set of "female" teeth. In primitive times, such males were used as solitary scouts by Devaronian tribes, since they could survive on either meat or plants. Their bodies were denser than most humanoids' and as a result they were heavier than their appearance would tend to indicate. Appearances and Examples: Labria appeared in the Cantina scene in A New Hope; Vilmarh Grahrk appeared in many Dark Horse comics as Quinlan Vos’ sidekick. Devaronian Species Traits:

Ability Modifiers: +2 Dexterity, –2 Wisdom, –2 Charisma (for males) or +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, –2 Dexterity (for females). Male Devaronians tend to be more carefree and less personable than female Devaronians, but they are also more agile. Medium Size: As Medium creatures, Devaronians have no special modifiers due to their size. Speed: Devaronian base speed is 6 squares. Conditional Bonus Feat: Devaronians are master manipulators. A Devaronian with Deception as a trained skill gains Skill Focus (Deception) as a bonus feat. Natural Curiosity: Once per encounter as a standard action, a Devaronian can make a Perception check against a single target within line of sight (DC 15 or the result of an opposed Stealth check, if the target is actively attempting to hide). If successful, the Devaronian gains a +1 insight bonus on attack rolls against that target. Because of their natural curiosity, Devaronians are very attentive to small details that can reveal weaknesses. Automatic Languages: Basic and Devaronese

DEVLIKK

Hailing from Ord Radama in the Outer Rim, Devlikks are bipedal, sentient creatures of vaguely humanoid stature. A Devlikk has a long neck, typically as long as its torso, and a head resembling a split anvil. Two red eyes peer down a thin snout which ends in a red nose, to either side of which pointed, protruding cheeks end in stringy danglers. The limbs and belly are white, while the back of the body and top of the head are green. Devlikks have lean bodies, short legs that end in thick feet with three hooves each, and long arms that end in three fingers. Devlikks stand on average about 1.24 meters tall. Devlikks generally sire or bear a large brood of offspring which average, according to the last Ord Radama census, approximately 129 children per brood. Devlikks have a very short lifespan, only about ten years on average. As a result, they tend to adopt a “carpe diem” philosophy to life, trying to live each day to the fullest. Consequently, they are drawn toward dangerous pursuits. Appearances and Examples: The Devlikk Wan Sandage pilots his podracer in competition against Anakin Skywalker in “The Phantom Menace.”

Devlikk Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Dex +4, Wis -2 Low-light vision: As per the SECR. Disorientation: Devlikk suffer a –5 penalty on all skill checks made to find their way or orient themselves, unless they are on their home planet. Short lifespan: A Devlikk's lifespan is roughly 1/10 that of a human being; it becomes an adult at the age of 2, reaches middle age by 5, old age by 7 and venerable age by 9 years of life.

DIATHIM

The winged, bioluminescent Diathim are also known as “Angels” by the deep spacers who encounter them fluttering about in space near the mysterious rogue planet of Iego. The precise location of Iego is unrecorded on star charts, other than that it is located in a remote part of the Outer Rim Territories just south of the Perlemian Trade Route. Investigation of the planet’s existence led to the discovery of the Extrictarium Nebula, as well as the fact that the planet Iego didn't orbit a star, as most planets did. Instead, it moved around within the Extrictarium, towing its 42 moons and moonlets along with it. Although categorized as a planet, Iego was just 2,730 kilometers in diameter. Curiously, it generated a gravitational field that was close to the galactic standard, allowing it to maintain its collection of satellites. The facts about Iego’s fantastic inhabitants are contradictory; the Diathim are as enigmatic as their world. They are creatures of legendary beauty about whom little is known. Most accounts describe them as thin,

feminine humanoids 2 to 3 meters tall, with six bladelike wings sprouting from their backs. Some claim the Angels are more androgynous in form, and many alien spacers swear that the Angels appear as exotic-looking Siniteen, Tarnab, or similar representatives of their own native species. All Angels seem to be composed of searing white light tinged with a yellowish aura, making it difficult to identify biological details. Since they glide out from Iego's moonlets to greet arriving ships, it is assumed that they live on the moonlets, but so far their dwellings have remained hidden. Angels have no apparent language and convey an aura of overall benevolence, despite their known efforts at sabotage. Many a deep spacer has found himself caught in the hypnotic spell of a Diathim, and has stranded himself to be near the object of his desire. Diathim do not speak, nor do they feed on any known substance. A Diathim venturing outside of the Extrictarium Nebula is an extraordinarily rare phenomenon, if it happens at all. Appearances and Examples: In “The Phantom Menace,” Anakin Skywalker refers to the “angels” of Iego, of whom he heard the deep spacers speak on occasion. Diathim Species Traits: +4 Cha, -2 Int, -2 Wis Flight: Diathim have wings that allow them to fly at a base speed of 12 squares. Despite their use of wings, they also seem to avail themselves of some sort of non-aerodynamic means of propulsion, however, since they are generally encountered beyond the atmospheres of Iego and its satellites, in deep space in the nebulae. Diathim do not breathe or eat in the conventional manner, or at least are capable of acquiring the necessary sustenance for their physiology in deep space. Energy Burst: Every 4 rounds, a Diathim can emit a white burst of energy from its chest as a Full-Round action dealing 1d8 points of damage for every two character levels up to a maximum of 4d8. Firing this energy burst moves the Diathim -1 step on the Condition Track. The Diathim must make a ranged attack roll to hit. The beam has a range increment of 25 m for every two character levels up to a maximum of 100 m. Bonus Feat: Force Sensitive Vow of Silence: Diathim are physically capable of vocalizing sound – some have been heard to wail in anguish if subjected to intense physical or emotional pain – however, as a species, they eschew language. As such, they have no spoken or written language and do not speak the languages of others, although they are capable of learning language for purposes of understanding the speech of others. Diathim can muster the will to speak in extreme circumstances, but it requires a Will Save at DC 20, and the words spoken are sparse, weak and faltering. Bioluminescent Target: Diathim suffer a -2 to Reflex Defense in darkness or low light because their bioluminescent bodies light them like a beacon to potential attackers.

Size: Medium. As Medium-size creatures, Diathim have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. Base Speed: 6 squares Language(s): None DRACH'NAM

The Drach'nam are brutish reptilian humanoids with pale, pinkish blood.

Drovians are a tall and burly species from Nim Drovis, with thick trunk-like legs that, like their arms, end in three sharp pincers. Cenuries ago, the Drovians divided into two separate tribes, the Gopso'o and the Drovians, and have been at war with each other since. Nearly all drovians are addicted to a narcotic called zwil, originally imported as a cake flavoring. The drovians are able to absorb it directly into their system through their breathing tubes. Str +2, Dex –2, Con +2, Int –2, Wis –2 Good depth perception: A drovian gains a +1 species bonus on all ranged attacks. Heightened senses: A drovian may reroll any Perception check, but it must keep the second result.

Addiction: Drovians are addicted to zwil, a sweet flavoring spice. A drovian must succeed at a Wisdom check (DC 10) to refuse when offered zwil. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Drovian & Basic DUINUOGWUIN (also known as STAR DRAGON)

16

The Duinuogwuin, colloquially called Star Dragons, are among the Galaxy's more secretive and mysterious species. Though variable in appearance, Duinuogwuin generally have serpentine bodies, diaphanous wings, and a pair of legs on each of many body segments. The legs on their frontmost segment are used as arms with fully articulated hands. Their average length is ten meters, but some are rumored to be one hundred meters or more. Duinuogwuin are covered in scales which range in color from various shades of gray or pale blue to black. Aside from guesswork based on observations of live Duinuogwuin, little is known of their biology, as they have never given themselves up to scientific research. Instead, they go to an uncharted planet known as "The Graveyard of the Dragons" to die. It is believed that they have internal organs which act as repulsorlifts, since their wings are too delicate to take off from any but the lowest gravity planets. Some Star Dragons have the

ability to exhale superheated gases, leading to speculation that they also have internal organs capable of organic cold

17

fusion. One of their most impressive abilities is the ability to fly and survive in the vacuum of deep space for weeks or months at a time. Their homeworld is unknown, or at least unrevealed by the Star Dragons. Individual Duinuogwuin have been seen on such far-scattered worlds as Cona, Barab I, and Columus. They have even been sighted in deep space far from any planet. Duinuogwuin have only one gender, though little is known of their reproductive process. When two Star Dragons mate, they often produce non-sentient offspring that are little more than ravening monsters. Such creatures are usually destroyed by the parents. Some show intelligence, but only in the form of evil cunning. Given the likelihood of having to destroy their own offspring if they mated, most Duinuogwuin live in isolation from others of their kind. This may be due to their highly variable genetic code — hatchlings can emerge with genetic adaptations which are not hinted at by their ancestors. Their variable genetics may lead to completely separate species being descended from the Duinuogwuin. Krayt dragons are believed by some to be the descendants of an accidental concentration of unintelligent Duinuogwuin offspring on Tatooine. Another sentient species, the Kadri'Ra, are possible relatives of the Duinuogwuin. The Duinuogwuin have a reputation for being wise and mysterious, contributed to by their very long lifespan and their polite indifference to questions about their past or their physiology. They are generally calm and even-tempered, and often preoccupied with cosmic musings. They are also noted for a strong, innate sense of morality. While they are friendly and gregarious with other races, a minority of aberrant Star Dragons seek only to manipulate and destroy others. Their part in the history of the Galaxy is uncertain: though clearly an ancient civilization, many of the stories are more mythological than historical. Star Dragons feature in the legends of many species, usually appearing as heroes coming to the aid of an oppressed people. However, many of these myths are contradictory, making it difficult to learn from them the details of Duinuogwuin history and origins. In 15,500 BBY, the Star Dragons made first contact with the Galactic Republic. Unfortunately, it proved disastrous and sparked the Duinuogwuin Conflict, which saw Coruscant assaulted by the Star Dragons. This conflict was ended in a peace negotiated by Supreme Chancellor Fillorean and Duinuogwuin philosopher Borz'Mat'oh. Prior to the Clone Wars, the Jedi Masters Jorus C'baoth and Tra's M'ins mediated a conflict between the Duinuogwuin and the Gotal. Little about this conflict is known. At least two Duinuogwuin are known to have served the Republic as Jedi: Jedi Master Willm Lywin who in 4,596 BBY founded the Teyan Praxeum on Teya IV, and a Padawan named Zephata'ru'tor, who was killed during the Clone Wars by General Grievous. Despite their historically strong moral sense, the Duinuogwuin stayed in isolation during the Galactic Civil War. They denied the fact that approximately one third of Duinuogwuin were Force-sensitives in order to avoid persecution by the Galactic Empire. Rumors about the Duinuogwuin who had served as Jedi in the past were impossible to confirm during the Imperial era, due to the destruction of the much of the order's records during the Great Jedi Purge. As late as the Thrawn campaign, it was speculated that the Star Dragons were waiting to see how the conflict would be resolved before rejoining the galactic community.

DULOK

The Duloks are green-furred bipeds native to the the Forest Moon of Endor. They are distantly related to the Ewoks, but, unlike their cousins, Duloks are tall (averaging 1.5 meters), lanky beings with long, tufted ears and tails, sharp teeth, eyes that ranged in color from yellow to red, and brown brows and noses. Their lips, upper faces, palms, and soles are hairless and gray-skinned. Duloks typically wear little or no clothing, although some wear decorations made from bones and shells or painted symbols on their fur. They are perpetually unkempt and infested with insects. Many Duloks speak a language that is intelligible to those who speak Ewokese, and may be a dialect of that language.

Duloks tend to live in Endor’s swampy regions. Their villages are made up of rotting logs and dark caverns, which they embellish with structures made of wood, animal skins, and bones. The Duloks are divided into various tribes, each headed

by a king who has proven himself the strongest or most fierce of the tribe. Shamans and oracles also enjoy some power in the Duloks’ religious society. In contrast to Ewoks, Duloks have little respect for nature and are greedy and foul-tempered. They are aggressive and warlike, and frequently raid nearby settlements, particularly Ewok villages. Apperances and Examples: A Dulok tribe led by King Gorneesh and his shaman Umwak was frequently at odds with the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village in the “Ewoks” animated series. During the Clone Wars, a Dulok was seen on Coruscant in the “Clone Wars” animated series Abilities Modifiers: Con +2, Wis –2, Cha –2 Scent: as the ewok trait. low-light vision: as detailed in the SECR.

he

The Echani are near-Humans with silver-white hair, silver eyes, and better natural reflexes then stock humans. Siblings were often virtually identical to each other, so as to be completely indistinguishable to outsiders. The Echani are also considered a more willful species than most, though this aspect of their personality comes more from studious training rather than any inherent racial quality. Their culture is war-like and gave rise to tSun Guard of Thyrsus. They have held a long-standing rivalry with the Mandalorians, with whom they share many similarities, such as a deep respect for the combat skill of their

enemy. The Echani, however, focus on light weaponry and armor, relying more on agility rather than heavier weapons and brute force. Due to the all-encompassing use of combat in all levels of their culture, Echani Generals are believed to be able to predict an opponents next move. In fact, this is simply a tactical skill arising from living in a culture where combat is seen as something akin to a form of communication. Echani Martial Arts, practiced by the Emperor’s Royal Guards, evolved not only as a form of self-defense, but as a form of self-expression for the Echani, a means of communication similar to art. Due to the proliferation of identical siblings, distinctions between like individuals through body movement is essential. The Echani can also read feelings and emotion through combat. To an Echani, a combat between two people communicates more than hours of talking. The Echani focus primarily on melee weapons, such as vibroswords. Echani-made double-bladed vibroblades were used by the Palpatine's Royal Guard, yet again influencing their look. Though their personal energy shields were popular during the period surrounding the Jedi Exile's travel through the galaxy, they eventually fell out of general use. With rare exception (such as the Sun Guard), the Echani eschew the use of armor, preferring to fight in minimal clothing. Their fighting style focused more on agility and movement, and so anything that hampered their freedom of movement is avoided. Ability Adjustments: None Echani art: All echani have Echani Art (see below) as a bonus feat. Combat Ready: An echani may reroll any Initiative check, but must take the second check result. Conditional Bonus Feat: An echani trained in Martial Arts I gains Martial Arts II as a bonus feat.

Social inability: Echani suffer a –2 penalty on all Perception checks made to discern a target’s intentions or feelings, and a –2 penalty on all Persuasion checks made to improve a target’s attitude. These penalties are removed for as long as the echani is actually fighting the target. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Echani & Basic

New Feat: Echani Martial Arts You have mastered the echani combat techniques, performing unarmed combat as if it was an art form. Prerequisite: Martial Arts I or belonging to the echani species. Benefit: Choose a single, intelligent opponent you are currently fighting in melee. Against that opponent, you may make any Perception check to sense Deception, or any Deception check to feint in combat, as a move action.

EQUANI

This alien species is known for its empathetic skills. The Equani are distinguished by their large frames and large eyes, which always match the pigment of their pale fur. The Equani are also known for their resistance to “Jedi Mind Tricks.” At the height of their civilization, there were nearly a billion Equani living in the galaxy, most of them on their homeworld of Equanus. By the time of the Clone Wars, there were very few Equani left in the galaxy, after Equanus was incinerated by an intense solar flare. As a result, only the hundreds of Equani who were offworld survived the devastation. It is believed that the Equani have the capability to understand and psychoanalyze every other sentient race known in the galaxy. The Equani homeworld was one of five worlds in the Nharl System. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, the planet's primary star emitted an intense, ten light-minute long solar flare. The energy - light, heat, and radiation - washed over Equanus and literally cooked the planet in space. Oceans boiled instantly, the atmosphere was stripped away, and the landmasses were scorched barren. Many of the surviving Equani – all of whom were offworld at the time of the devastation – believe that the solar flare ejected by the star was not a natural phenomenon, but the result of a test-firing of a

superlaser by the Republic. The test was miscalculated, and the star erupted with the solar flare. Although it was of little consolation to the Equani, the scientists who were conducting the test were killed in the flare as well. Appearances and Examples: In the Clone Wars novel “Medstar I: Battle Surgeons,” by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry, Klo Merit was an Equani physician who worked for the Grand Army of the Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, serving as a doctor and empath for the Rimsoo Seven military hospital on Drongar. Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: +2 STR, -2 DEX Understand Others: Equani may reroll Perception checks to "Sense Deception" or "Sense Influence" in others. Force Resistance: Equani receive a +6 Species bonus against mind-affecting effects that target the Will Defense, including the Telepathy subskill of Use the Force and the Mind Trick Force Power. Large-size: As Large creatures, Equani suffer a -1 size penalty to their Reflex Defense and a -5 size penalty on Stealth checks. However, their lifting and carrying capacity is doubled, and they recieve a +5 size bonus to their Damage Threshold. Base Speed: 8 squares Language(s): Equani and Basic

ER’KIT

Er’kit are tall, thin, humanoids with conical heads, smooth, pale skin and, often, dorsal stripes of pale blue and/or green. Hailing originally from the Outer Rim planet of the same name, the Er’kit species feeds off adrenaline and speed. Their metabolism is as fast as is their speech and movement. Er’kit are very adaptable and intrepid, and many have long established colonies on Tatooine and other Outer Rim worlds, consider themselves natives of their adopted world and have abandoned their species language for the local language, such as Huttese on Tatooine. Appearances and Examples: The Er’kit Ody Mandrell pilots his podracer in competition against Anakin Skywalker in “The Phantom Menace.”

Ability Adjustments: Dex +2, Int –2, Wis –2 Resilient: Er’kits gain a +2 natural armor bonus to their Ref and Fort defenses. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Language: Er’kit (or adopted local language, such as Huttese) & Basic EVOCII

The Evocii are the primitive humanoids natives of Evocar, which later became the capital Hutt world Nal Hutta. When the Hutts arrived from their homeworld Varl, the Evocii were amazed by the wonderful technologies that the slug-like aliens brought with them. Soon they began exchanging pieces of their homeworld in exchange for the technology the Hutts brought with them, until they realized that the Hutts owned almost their entire world. Hutt palaces, amusement parks and other constructions were built all over Evocar, and the Evocii were powerless against the Hutts. They appealed to the Galactic Republic, though the laws of the Republic then favored the Hutts. The Evocii were evicted from Evocar by the Hutts and relocated to the planet's fifth moon which would later be known as Nar Shaddaa, "The Smuggler's Moon." The Hutts then used their Evocii subjects as slave laborers to build the spaceports and cities of Nar Shaddaa. Most of the Evocii eventually died off from long periods of exposure to Nar Shaddaa's atmosphere, and the surviving few began mutating in

the lower levels of Nar Shaddaa due to the various technologies practiced on the moon. The Hutts then destroyed the remaining Evocii architecture. Appearances and Examples: Evocii are mentioned in several Expanded Universe sources, but appear in the “Tempest Fued” paperback supplement to the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars Roleplaying Game (2nd ed.).

FERROAN Ferroans are pale-blue skinned humanoids with gold eyes. Most females have white hair but some have black hair. The Ferroans hailed originally from the planet Ferro and colonized many of the inner Ferro systems, including Zonoma Sekot. They are independent, reclusive, and seldom leave their homes. The Ferroans of Zonama Sekot subscribe to the philosophy of the Potentium and are very attuned to the sentience of Zonama Sekot, many having grown up very aware of the lifeforces around them. However, they are not symbiotic to the planet, as the Yuuzhan Vong once were. Appearances and Examples: Ferroans appear in the novel “Rogue Planet.”

Ability Modifiers: Wis +2, Cha –2 In tune with nature: A ferroan may reroll any Survival check or Perception check made in the open wild, but he must keep the second result.

an The Firrerreo (also referred to as Firrerreon), of the planet Firrerre, resemble gold-skinned Humans with long canines, two-toned hair and nictitating eyelids. They heal quickly and csurvive even a direct blaster shot not directed to the heart or brain. Their gold-colored skin turns silver when scarred. Firrerreo believe that one can 'own' another's name, and therefore almost never give out their names to others, except to a mate or close friend. Speaking another's name is considered a form of control in Firrerreo society, and many Firrerreo do so at every opportunity as a show of power. Firrerreo society is organized in clans, members caring little for the welfare of non-clan-members. Appearances and Examples: Two Force-sensitive Firrerreos, Hethrir and his mate Rillao,

became students of the Sith Lord Darth Vader in the novel “The Crystal Star.” Firrerreo Species Traits (by RobShanti): Ability Modifiers: +4 Con, -2 Cha, -2 Wis Fast Healing: As the Wookiee trait. Psychological Weakness: Due to cultural superstition, Firrerreo are loathe to give out their name to another and consider learning another's name as a form of power over that person. Consequently, a Firrerreo must make a DC 10 Willpower Save to resist a dangerous or otherwise unfavorable situation that promises to reveal another's name. In turn, even when a Firrerreo decides to give his own name to another, either out of necessity or as an act of friendship or intimacy, he must likewise make this Will Save or be unable to overcome the cultural taboo of anonymity.

Hailing from the planet Ploo IV, located in the Ploo Sector of the Expansion Region of the galaxy, the amphibious Fluggrians have special neural bundles in their foreheads that allow them to process information at incredible speeds. Fluggrians value the family unit over all else. Fluggrians seldom leave their families or Ploo IV, although some have been known to travel great distances to settle a vendetta for transgressions against their kin. Their bodies are small, slightly larger than one meter tall on average. Their skin is greenish, often with ornate markings of any of various bright colors, and their head, shaped like a folded crescent, often sports large lips. Their eyes have translucent nictitating membranes that allow them to see underwater. The membranes themselves, however, are of little use out of the water, as they are very sensitive and easily damaged by abrasive airborne particles. Fluggrians have gills that allow them to breath underwater.

Appearances and Examples: The Fluggrian Kam Nale, alias Elan Mak, pilots his podracer in competition against Anakin Skywalker in “The Phantom Menace.” Ability Modifiers: Dex +2, Cha –2 High input procession: Fluggrians may reroll Perception checks, but must take the second check result. Gills: Fluggrian can't drown in water. Speed: 4 squares. Size: Small (+1 to Reflex defense, +5 on Stealth checks, –5 on grapple checks, reduced damage and weight allowance). Language: Fluggrian, Basic FOSH

The Fosh are a sentient avian species from an unknown world, possibly hailing from the Corporate Sector. Their delicate arms end in four-fingered, talon-like hands that apparently evolved over tens of thousands of years from wings. Due to the frail nature of their bodies, Fosh shy away from conflict and confrontation, though they are known to defend themselves if necessary. In combat, Fosh reflexively guard their necks, which are thin and particularly vulnerable. They are agile creatures, however, with leg joints able to bend backwards, and flay-toed feet useful for jumping.

23

indicating anger, disgust, ir

The Fosh’s elongated face ends in a beak-like os, around which tufts of soft whiskers grow. The Fosh’s head is capped with two twisting antennae, the use of which remains unknown, and a skull ridge adorned with feathers that shift color depending on the Fosh's mood: green indicating inquisitiveness, thoughtfulness or amusement; orange indicating happiness; and gray ritation or seriousness.

Female Fosh have lacrimal glands that enable them to alter their tears to produce a variety of pheromonal substances that affect males during mating. The Fosh are very private, preferring to remain unnoticed by the larger galaxy. They are, however, adept at political intrigue, and, culturally, are as manipulative a species as the Bothans, but much more devious. Many Fosh look upon other species as inferior, sometimes even as toys for their own amusement. Fosh tend to speak indirectly to others, rarely revealing their true desires, and are fond of riddles and analogies designed to confuse and confound. The Fosh are highly self-serving and self-interested, and are only generous when it suits them. Appearances and Examples: The Jedi Knight Vergere appeared in many novels, including “Rogue Planet” and many of the New Jedi Order novels. Ability Modifiers: Str -2 (females only), Dex +2, Con –2 Conditional Bonus Feats: A fosh trained in Acrobatics, Deception and/or Persuasion gains Skill Focus in these skills as a bonus feat. Tears: A female fosh may use its tears as an ingredient to make chemical concoctions. By succeeding on a Knowledge (physical sciences) or Knowledge (life sciences) check (DC 25), the tears of a female fosh may be transformed into a veriety of chemical products, including poison (attack 1d20 vs Fort, damage 1d6 plus 1 step down on the Condition Track) or healing liquids (granting a +5 bonus on Treat Injury checks). A female fosh may weep enough tears to make a single chemical dose once per day.

Language: Fosh & Basic Note: Fosh are suppossedly extinct, and GM discretion is suggested when allowing them as a PC species. GADOS

Gados are furry, lanky aliens with worm-like heads. They are indigenous to Abregado-rae, incredibly nimble and reknown for their gymnastic skills, as shown by the famous Leaping Tee acrobatic group of the Alsakan Circo-Menagerie. Gados’ internal organs are strewn throughout their bodies in ribbon-like patterns. Consequently, minor injury in a vital area causes limited damage, but if an appendage is lost, the Gados inevitably dies. Gados are also known for their amenability (or perhaps obtuseness) to the eccentricities of others. Gados culture was eventually virtually entirely assimilated by Galactic culture, Basic becoming as primary a language on their world as their own native language. Appearances and Examples: Gados appeared in the novel “Heir to the Empire.”

Ability Modifiers: Dex +4, Con –2 Conditional Bonus Feat: A gados trained in Acrobatics gains Skill Focus (Acrobatics) as a bonus feat. Misplaced vitals: A gados has its vital organs spread all over its body; any time a gados goes down on the condition track, its condition becomes persistent. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares.

GANK (also known as GANK KILLER) Ganks, also known as Gank Killers, are mysterious, bloodthirsty, fur-covered humanoids with yellow faces twisted into permanent snarls, and cruel, beady eyes. Their broad shoulders are strong and their thick, powerful arms often weild a variety of weapons, although they tend to favor primitive blaster rifles. Ganks mainly reside on Nar Shaddaa in the Mid Rim, but have also been found in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, and working for the Hutts on planets such as D'vouran. Their original homeworld is unknown; however, due to their affiliation with the Hutts of Nar Shaddaa, they have moved to the “Smuggler’s Moon” permanently. Ganks usually wear high-tech battle armor from head to foot, so for a long time their physical appearance remained unknown. Ganks can often be found working for Hutts as mercenaries, bounty hunters, bodyguards or assassins. They are rarely seen alone and always move around in packs, working together to accomplish

their savage aims. In fact, they work so well in small groups of between two and five that sentientologists long hypothesized that Ganks possessed a mild telepathic ability that allow them to remain in constant communication with each other. This hypothesis remained untested for some time, since the Ganks killed most of the anthropologists who had approached the them for study. The shape shifting Shi'ido anthropologist Mammon Hoole, however, managed to infiltrate a group of Ganks long enough to discover that they are able to constantly communicate with one another through mechanical implants, thus giving them an edge over other bodyguard candidates for the wealthy Hutts of Nar Shaddaa. Ganks rarely show their faces, preferring a suit of mechanized battle armor made of knee high boots, elbow pads, gloves and small knife sheaths on their wrists. Their ellipsoid helmets feature small holes at the front and two thin rods jutting from each side. A variety of objects hang from their necks, including old teeth. Despite their heavy build and armor, Ganks run very quickly. Gank Killers take pleasure in the misery of others, laughing happily at their victims’ suffering. Most Ganks also have short tempers and hate when a potential victim escapes. The bloodthirsty Ganks made fierce bodyguards, are skilled with blasters and demonstrate extreme loyalty, following their orders exactly as given. Gank Killers became infamous for their violent ways during the Gank Massacres in 4,800 BBY, in which a group of Ganks, hired by Neimoidians for protection, committed the genocide of the Porporites. After that, the Ganks embarked on a full scale war against the Republic, but were eventually defeated by the Jedi. Some Ganks speak Huttese and Galactic Basic Standard, although their vocabulary is limited. Appearances and Examples: Gank Killers appear in the “Dark Empire” comics by Dark Horse. Ability Scores: Str +2, Wis –2, Cha –2 Bonus feat: Gank killers gain Armor Proficiency (light) as a bonus feat.

GEN’DAI

26

vercome

This race of humanoids is rarely seen in the galaxy. Those few Gen'Dai encountered away from their homeworld are unusual in a number of respects, not the least of which is the longevity of their lifespan. Some Gen'Dai are known to have lived for 4,000 years or more. Their nervous and circulatory systems are highly unusual, and help them ophysical injuries with little effort. Rather than a central nervous system, Gen'Dai physiology comprises millions of nerve clusters which act together as a central system. However, the loss of one or more nodes results in little overall damage, since the

remaining clusters simply pick up the slack. The circulatory system of the Gen'Dai lacks a heart, using a combination of capillary actions and muscular contractions to push blood throughout the body. This allows a Gen'Dai to be cut many times without bleeding to death, as certain locations could be clamped down with minimal effort. This distribution of function allows the Gen'Dai to heal and recover in little or no time, and gives them the ability to slow the aging process. Furthermore, the musculature of the Gen'Dai is composed of independent muscles linked by the distributed nervous system, allowing for the Gen'Dai to extrude knots of muscle as secondary limbs. These muscles are also able to repair themselves rapidly, allowing a severed limb to be reattached almost immediately. The only organ which does not benefit from the Gen'Dai's unusual physiology is the brain, which deteriorates with age like any other humanoid race. The galaxy at large has been spared any fear of the Gen'Dai because, as a people, the Gen'Dai are simple nomads who are not overly aggressive. The Gen'Dai population is also quite small, as the birth rate is exceptionally low. Appearances and Examples: Durge was a Gen’Dai bounty hunter who allied with the Separatists during the Clone Wars, as shown in various Clone Wars era comics and cartoons, such as the “Clone Wars” animated series. Gen'Dai Species Traits Ability Modifiers: +4 constitution, -4 wisdom, -2 cha. Gen'Dai are extremely tough physically but are mentally unstable due to their long-lives, and are generally loners. Gen'Dai nervous system: Gen'Dai are considered automatically trained in the Perception and cannot be pushed down the condition track by targeted attacks i.e. debilitating shots, dasterdly strike, severing strike etc. Only effects that affect a large portion of the body move them along the condition track. This includes exceeding a Gen'Dai's Damage Threshold or persistant effects like poison or disease. A Gen'Dai is essentually one big neural and vascular system, it lacks any weak points and makes it highly perceptive. Regeneration: Gen'Dai, regenerate at a very high rate, meaning they are considered to of performed the Recover swift action 3 times each round. This means it moves up the condition track each round without spending any time doing so. Simply reducing a Gen'Dai to 0 hit points will not stop it as it will recover the next round die to it's regeneration. If a Gen'Dai is reduced to 0 hit points by an attack that equals or exceeds its damage threshold it automatically avoids death, as if it had spent a force point to do so and remains unconscious . A Gen'Dai may spend a destiny point to enter hibernation instead(see below). This means a Gen'Dai can only be killed by an attack that destroys its body completely. Hibernation: Instead of remaining unconscious (see above) a Gen'Dai may enter a state of hibernation where they recover from all wounds slowly. Even at a near-death state this ability can ressurect a Gen'Dai. They regain 1 hit point a year until back to full health. This allows the Gen'Dai to recover from effects like poison, disease, coup de graces' and decapiation - as long as a part of it's body persists. it can recover. This also retards the aging process, as if the creature had not aged at all over the time.

GURLANIN

The Gerb are lagomorphs native to the moon Yavin 13, which is populated by approximately 24 million Gerbs and 19 million serpentine Slith. Gerbs are covered in fur and have large, pink ears and large, black eyes. They live in small underground warrens consisting of ten families. The Gerbs move by hopping, and practice simple farming on the few grasslands of the desert moon. They speak the squeaking Gerbese language, but can also speak the hissing Slithese language. Gerbs and Slith have managed to live in peace and generally leave each other alone. Gerbs are immune to Slith bites which are venomous to most other species. Neither species knows aabout offworld affairs or technology since neither has left Yavin 13. x +2, Wis +2

Heightened senses: A gerb may reroll Perception checks, but it must keep the second result. Poison resistance: Gerbs gain a +5 bonus to their Fort Defense against poison.

Hailing from the planet Ploo II and standing, on average, slightly over 1 meter tall, Glyphids have a rod-thin build; a long, highly sensitive proboscis and quick reflexes. Their suction cup-tipped digits enable them to cling to vertical and horizontal surfaces, and their orange eyes enable them to see in low light conditions. Appearances and Examples: The Glymphid Aldar Beedo pilots his podracer in competition against Anakin Skywalker in “The Phantom Menace.” Dex +2, Con –2 Suction cups: A glymphid may reroll Climb checks, but it must take the second check result. Alternatively, a glymphid may take 10 on any Climb check instead of rolling.

Gurlanin are sinuous, telepathic shape-shifters who achieve metamorphosis through molecular rearrangement. In their natural state, they are approximately one and one-half meters long, black-furred and glossy. Depending on the exact shape of their body at any given time, their movement ranges from a prowling or slinking to a loping or trotting. Females typically form a pouch in their abdomen for carrying members of their litter. Their unblinking, orange eyes are not their primary sensory organs; a Gurlanin’s primary sense is echolocation, and their long tapering muzzles, seemingly audibly sniffing about, actually emit sound waves which their auditory organs, also located in their muzzle, perceive. Their four long delicate legs

typically sport paws or prehensile hands for gripping. When they ambulate or shape-shift, they appear like molten metal or a slick of oil. Gurlanin can stand on their hind legs, appearing like a shimmering column of ebony fur. Gurlanin are typically brutally honest, a character trait derived, perhaps, from the fact that they are telepathic beings. Their telepathy is limited to each other, but nevertheless strong. A Gurlanin may communicate normally with others of the species through telepathic means up to a range of 100 meters. A Gurlanin may communicate broad ideas or notions with a single other Gurlanin across interstellar distances. Gurlanin are native to Qiilura, a planet located in the Tingel Arm of the galaxy, some forty light-years from Ord Mantell, and orbited by a single moon. The remote agricultural world is best-known for its production of barq grain and kushayan. Various invaders have displaced the Gurlanin from their natural habitats and, hence, few are left in existence. Gurlanin are omnivorous, and are known to eat gdans – small, voracious, predatory mammals of their homeworld – but only if the gdans are trying to approach their young. Appearances and Examples: Valaqil and Jinart were Gurlanin who allied with the Republic during the Clone Wars in the novel “Republic Commando: Hard Contact” by Karen Traviss. Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: -2 STR, -2 CON Telepathy: As a swift action, a Gurlanin can communicate telepathically to any number of other Gurlanin up to 100 meters away each round. As a move action, a Gurlanin can broadcast a vague telepathic impression to another, single Gurlanin even across interstellar distances. Shapeshift: Gurlanin can change the shape, texture and coloration of their bodies to mimic other medium-sized humanoid species (and any clothing worn). A Gurlanin gains none of the special qualities or species traits of the mimicked species, but the effect lasts as long as the Gurlanin wishes. A Gurlanin does not immediately revert to its natural form if stunned, fatigued, exhausted, dying or dead. This shapeshifting ability improves with age. Middle-aged and older Gurlanin can assume the form of any Small to Large alien species or creature. They can even make themselves look like Medium-sized or Large inanimate objects. Changing appearance is a full-round action and grants a +10 species bonus to Deception checks made to present a Deceptive appearance. Echolocation: a Gurlanin may “see” without light (as though they have Darkvision) by means of echolocation. A Gurlanin emits sonic waves from his snout, and hears their echo with its auditory organs, also located in the snout. This ability operates out to a range of roughly 6 squares, cannot distinguish color or visual contrast or discern written letters unless they letters are raised, neon (or some other similar effect) or otherwise textured, and provides immunity to blinding effects (but, since it relies on sound waves, deafening effects thwart it). A Gurlanin’s echolocation works underwater, but not in a vacuum. Medium-sized. As Medium-sized creatures, Gurlanin have no special bonuses or penalties due to size. Base Speed: 6 squares Language(s): Gurlanin and Basic

HOOJIB Hoojibs are sapient, telepathic, energy-feeding lagomorphs indigenous to Arbra, a planet wthe Alliance to Restore the Republic used as a temporary headquarters after the Battle of HothHoojibs allowed the Rebels to use their planet after the Alliance troops helped them defeat a being known as the Slivilith who threatened their safety and their home. Some Hoojib stalk Tof on Zeltros. Hoojib are known to occasionally venture into the wider galaxy, including Zeltros and some Ithorian hardships. Appearances and Examples: In Marvel Star Wars comics, Issue 55, a Hoojib named Plif accompanied Luke Skywalker on several missions before and after the Battle of Endor. Plif

later became a New Republic Senator.

Ability Modifiers: Str –4, Dex +2, Int +2, Wis +2 Telepathy: All hoojib may use telepathy to communicate, just if they were force-sensitive, even if they are not. Energy feeding: A hoojib does not need organic food to survive. Instead, as a standard action, a hoojib may attach itself to a technological item, energy weapon or natural energy source. This contact does no damage to the hoojib. Any vehicle, computer, weapon or other technological item touched by a hoojib goes down 1 step on the conditon track for every round of continued contact. If the item reaches the ‘disabled or unconscious’ step, it loses all of its energy (the charge of its power packs or energy cells is completely depleted) and must be recharged or repaired before being used again. Low-light vision: As described in the SECR: Animalistic: Hoojib gain no proficiency with any weapons or armor, even if their class allows it. Size: Tiny (+2 to Reflex Defense, +10 on Stealth checks, –10 on Grapple checks, reduced carrying capacity and damage) Speed: 2 squares. Language: Hoojib HOOVER

Hoovers are small, cloven-hooved quadrupeds with a long trunk; large, black eyes; and thick brown hide with dorsal ridges. Their trunk served as both an olefactory organ and a proboscis for leeching blood from other creatures. Ability Modifier: Cha –2 Blood drain: A hoover may make a special grab attack against a living target. If the attack hits, the hoover has attached itself to the target, which must succeed on a grab attack against the hoover to detach it. For every round the hoover remains attached, the victim goes down 1 step in the Condition Track. If the victim becomes unconscious, the

hoover automatically detaches itself and cannot continue using this ability on the victim until it has gone back up at least one step in the Condition Track. Stealthy: A hoover may reroll any Stealth check made to avoid notice, but it must take the second check result. Speed: 4 squares.

Iridorians are mysterious humanoids from an ancient, bloodthirsty warrior culture believed to be so entrenched in bloodlust that they would even sometimes turn against each other in battle. Doubtless, they are powerful, if accentric, warriors, however reports of them purposefully turning against each other may merely be propaganda of the Echani, with whom they hold a traditional rivalry, and whom the Iridorians feel believe in a nonexistent code of honor, or of the the Mandalorians, whom the Iridorians feel value credits above bloodshed.

29

Iridorians are a rare sight in the civilized Galaxy, even during the tumultuous Jedi Civil War. The few that do appear in civilized regions usually wear their signature armor, featuring a metallic, one-piece covering that protects them from shoulder to groin, worn over a black skeinsuit; a large helmet with a broad, dark visor; protective gauntlets; and a few miscellaneous coverings for other portions of the limbs. These mercenaries have been recruited by either the Galactic Republic or the Sith Empire.

Appearances and Examples: Revan encountered an Iridorian mercenary on Manaan in the “Knights of the Old Republic” video game.

Jin'ha are a mysterious humanoid species renown for their use of the rare and expensive lightsaber-resistant cortosis, which their miners acquire from the planet Obredaan. One such primary use to which the Jin’ha put their ore is in crafting their signature light armor, which comprised distinct red helmets, shoulder and breast coverings, knee protectors and elbow guards, worn over a padded red jumpsuit. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, the Jin'ha sold some of their cortosis ore to the Trade Federation, which used it to craft experimental assassin droids.

Kaleesh are scaly, reddish-brown, reptilian humanoids from the planet Kalee with protruding tusks that jut from their upper jaw. Their four-clawed hands have two opposable thumbs. A spiritual people, the Kaleesh believe that those who performed great deeds in life become gods in death. Consequently, they revere burial places and build many temples devoted to their ancestor gods, including Shrupak, the supreme deity of their pantheon. The Kaleesh believe the gods ascend into the heavens at Abesmi, a great monolith of stone in the Jenuwaa Sea. Many Kaleesh undertake perilous pilgrimages to Abesmi to entreat their gods. The Kaleesh view war as an essential and sacred practice, and the culture's large emphasis on honor was known to spur many acts of vengeance among the various tribes that comprised Kaleesh society. However, when necessary, the tribes put aside their differences and bond to fend off a common enemy. Typical Kaleesh weaponry includes a Czerka Outland rifle, a Lig sword, and a Shoni spear.

KALLIDAHIN (ALSO KNOWN AS POLIS MASSANS) The Kallidahin, also referred to as Polis Massans, are a race of mute, sentient cetaceans native to the world of Kallidah. They earned their alternate moniker from their extensive digs on the asteroid remnants of the long destroyed planet of Polis Massa.

32

The average Kallidahin is short and thin with a flat, pale face and gray, four-digit hands. Most Kallidahin are mute and use a mild form of telepathy, sign language and control devices to make their intentions known. Their deep-focus eyes are useful for working deep underground. Osmotic membrane faces cap a long, narrow neck, and growth-rings encircle their wiry bodies. Many of the Kallidahin are miners, medics or exobiologists, and wear form-fitting

bodysuits fitted with all manner of signaling devices, medical equipment and utility pouches. They believe themselves to be descendants of the ancient Eellayin species once native to Polis Massa, which vanished in the distant past when a mysterious catastrophe destroyed the planet. Circa 519 BBY, the Kallidahin began mining the largest of the resulting asteroids for artifacts from the planet's extinct former civilization. The Archaeological Research Council of Kallidah eventually established a Research Base on the largest of the asteroid remnants to unearth evidence of this evolutionary link. The entire population of Kallidah left their homeworld to work at Polis Massa. They conduct mining expeditions, archaeological digs, and medical research on the remote settlement. Polis Massan miners are seasoned spelunkers, and dig deep into the core of the asteroid to locate prize artifacts. Polis Massan exobiologists have learned the secrets of cloning from the Kaminoans they partly resemble, and have analyzed these artifacts for organic tissue suitable for cloning. Though they have little contact with outsiders, Polis Massans are extraordinary medics, and are compassionate beings who understand the value of life. Appearances and Examples: In “Revenge of the Sith,” Polis Massan medics and technicians helped deliver the Skywalker twins (Luke and Leia) when Padmé was rushed to the asteroid facility in a critical condition. Only two members of the team were trained physicians, the rest being exobiologists who, due to Padmé's condition, had no time to even change out of their caving jumpsuits to treat her. Though the twins were delivered with the help of a midwife droid, the Polis Massans could not mend Padmé's broken heart, and she died inside the medical center. +2 Int, -2 Str Size: Medium Mute, but may freely communicate silently by telepathy, sign language and control devices with other Kallidahins Conditional Bonus Feats: Kallidahin who are trained in Knowledge (Life Sciences) gain the feat Skill Focus (Knowledge: Life Sciences) as a bonus feat.

Kiffar are dusky near-Humans that hail from the Azurbani system. The system’s twin planets -- Kiffu and Kiffex -- share an elliptical orbit around its sun. When the orbits bring the two planets near each other, incredible lightning storms result, which the Kiffar harness as a source of energy. Kiffu, the larger of the two planets, is home to most Kiffar. Kiffex is primarily a penal colony. Presiding over this prison planet are the Guardians. Kiffar typically paint or tattoo their faces with familial patterns. Their thick, curly, sable hair is often worn braided or in dreadlocks, and turns ashy white as the Kiffar ages. Appearances and Examples: Whether Kiffar ever actually appear in any of the movies is a

matter for debate. The Kiffar sisters Brea and Senni Tonnika from the Cantina scene of “A New Hope” were, in the

In “The Phantom Menace,” Expanded Universe favorite Quinlan Vos arguably appears sitting at a table in the background during the fight scene between Sebulba and Jar Jar Binks. Just before Anakin walks on-screen, when he says “Careful, Sebulba” in Huttese, you can very clearly see in the background a man who appears to be Quinlan Vos directly above Jar Jar’s cowering form. Ability Modifiers: None Psychometry: As a standard action, a kiffar may touch an item and make a DC 20 Wisdom check (or Use the Force check, if the character is Force-Sensitive). If the check is successful, the kiffar learns a single fact about the item’s past (who made it, how long ago, who wielded it ‘that’ time, and so on). [Alternately, use the feat as shown below.] Training: Kiffar society requires its members to constantly hone their physical and mental condition. A kiffar gains a +1 racial bonus to all its defenses. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium.

New feat: Psychometry You can pick up impressions of past events from inanimate objects. Prerequisites: Force Sensitivity, Wisdom 13, Kiffar (a human native to Kiffu) Benefit: You can perceive past events by handling objects that were present during those events as if you were there too. The perspective is the same as that of the object's wielder: you see, hear and feel what the wielder did. Often the images are from the past events are connected to each other and sometimes they may have some symbolic meaning - for example, viewing a lightsaber a Dark Jedi had used to kill his family members might show their faces and then a lash of red light in otherwise quickly escalating darkness and quickly silenced shouts. You cannot view more than the wielder did, so if the wielder did not look at a computer screen to discern writing on it, neither can you. Using Psychometry is a full-round action and requires Use the Force check. The DC depends upon the connection of the item to the events being reviewed. Connection Personal item frequently used (DC 10) Personal item infrequently used (DC 15) Item used by multiple inviduals (DC 20) Item handled once (DC 25) The GM can at his discretion add +5 or +10 (or even more) to the DC depending on how long ago the event in question happened. In the case of failure, the reviewer cannot comprehend the images he sees as the alien feelings of someone else overwhelms him or he feels too disconnected to understand them; the GM may also rule that no images show in the case of failure. Special: Using Psychometry on living beings is only possible through the use of the Dark Side of the Force. In order to use Psychometry on living being, the Force-user must accept 1 Dark Side point before rolling for success. Sometimes the impressions granted by Psychometry are so saturated with hatred, fear, anger and aggression that they positively leak of the Dark Side. In such case, if the original user of the object in question gained Dark Side point while using the object, the reviewer gains one also. The GM should notify the player that his character might receive Dark Side point for continuing to use this feat ("Killing the helpless Neimoidian would earn you a Dark Side point - do you really want to continue with this vision?"). The GM can give special permission for someone who isn't a Kiffar to take this feat.

KILLIK Killiks are a sentient insectoid species originally native to Alderaan. They built large mound-like structures on the plains of both Alderaan and Alsakan. Long before most other species came to these worlds, the Killiks vanished. The Killiks are social insects and are bred into several castes — membrosia givers, warriors, attendants, and the deadly assassin bugs. Though the species as a whole is not Force-sensitive, certain types of Killik can be bred to use the Force in small ways. All Killiks start as small larvae, but once fully grown, their size varies, though members of the same hive are usually the same size. Their glossy exoskeletons are so strong that they can withstand millennia of erosion as found by later colonists on their former homeworld of Alderaan. Most Killiks have four arms that terminate in tri-fingered claws, and two strong legs that allow them to leap great distances.

Killiks have a communal society, with each Killik in mental contact with all the others. Due to their hive mind, every Killik nest is virtually one individual. Each hive has a palindromic name, like that of the species itself. The Killiks are also a peaceful people. One potentially frightening aspect of Killik biology is the exuding of pheromones that can change the physiological make-up of the brain of others --- even members of other species – who engage in extended contact with them; those exposed to the pheromones become "Joiners," influenced by and subject to the will of the Killik hive. The Killiks are an ancient species who were present long before the formation of the Galactic Republic. They originated on the planet Alderaan where they built the Castle Lands of Oroboro circa 35,000 BBY. At some point, they colonized nearby Alsakan. They also claim to have created Centerpoint Station, which they called Qolaraloq, and to have witnessed the creation of the Maw. In 30,000 BBY, the Killiks were driven away from Alderaan and Alsakan into the Unknown Regions by the Celestials after they had consumed Alderaan's resources and prepared to move on to another already populated world. According to a Shistavanen legend, sometime during this period a Killik Sith Lord lived in exile on the planet Sarafur after being driven off of Alsakan. There, the Killiks remained sequestered for millennia until, in 27 ABY, a starship manned by Dark Jedi crashed there. The Killiks rescued the survivors and absorbed them into the Killik hive mind. The influence of the Dark Jedi formed the “Dark Nest.” While Killiks are peaceful, like most hive based species, they placed no value on an individual life. Cyclical food shortages eventually prompted them to begin trading with other planets and races; however, they also began absorbing more non-Killiks into their hive mind. By 35 ABY, when the Killiks were rediscovered by the Galactic Alliance, they were still barely surviving. At the same time, the Colony had expanded to 375 nests, though it is unknown how much of the total population of Killiks this represented. However, the existence of the Dark Nest was unknown to most Killiks. In 35 ABY, under the manipulation of the Dark Nest, the Killiks began expanding into the borders of the Chiss Ascendancy, starting a dispute which the Galactic Alliance was forced to mediate. Under the terms of the Qoribu Truce, the Killiks of the Colony agreed to settle Woteba and 13 other planets in the Utegetu Nebula. Unfortunately for the Killiks, Woteba and all of the other planets in the nebula had an ancient environmental defense system. Whenever the planet was hit by the nova that formed the Utegetu Nebula, all animal life was wiped out, but plant life was restored within two years by the defense system. At first, Woteba seemed a paradise for Killik colonization, but the planet attacked them anytime they interfered with the ecosystem, destroying both structures and living beings with a corrosive substance known as Fizz, nano-machines which broke down the intrusive objects or beings on the molecular level. As a result, the Killiks mistakenly believed the Jedi had purposefully sent them to the planet to fall victim to the Fizz. In 36 ABY, the Killiks abandoned the Nebula for fourteen nest ships built in the Tusken's Eye, alongside the nest ship of the Dark Nest. This fleet captured the Galactic Alliance Victory-class Star Destroyer Admiral Ackbar in preparation for their invasion of the Chiss Ascendancy, thus starting the Swarm War. The Alliance eventually won the war and the Killiks went back to their original culture in peace and isolation from the rest of the Galaxy in the Unknown Regions.

34Appearances and Examples: Killiks appear in the “Dark Nest” trilogy of novels.

The Kobok are yellow-skinned bipedal insectoids with three compound eyes (one of which is on the back of the head). They are natives of the Outer Rim planet Koboth, but have spread to other worlds in Kobothi Space. The coloration of their carapace depends on from which region of their homeworld they come. Those from the Kuurok Peninsula have a dark green to black carapace. The spines on their arms are filled with a venom capable of rendering most sentients unconscious. They also possess venomous claws and a deadly stinger. The governing body of the Kobok was the Koboth Union. Appearances and Examples: Koboks appeared in the “Star Wars: Droids” animated television series.

KORUNNAI The only planet in orbit around the star Al'Har, a system at the hub of the hyperspace corridor known as the Gevarno Loop, is the volcanic jungle world Haruun Kal. This strange planet, still shown on some star charts as Al'Har I, is not the sort of place one would expect to find any life at all, let alone a thriving culture of nomadic Humans and thousands of offworld settlers. More than three-quarters of the planet's surface is covered in a thick lower atmosphere called the "cloudsea" that can make the world appear oceanic when viewed from orbit. The heavy gases of the cloudsea comprise a deadly soup of toxicity that's constantly replenished by the towering, active volcanoes that dot Haruun Kal's crust. The poisonous cloudsea and seasonal storms confine carbon-based life forms to the volcanic mountaintops and plateaus that pierce the breathable upper atmosphere (Haruun Kal means "above the clouds" in the language of the native Human nomads). Even there, jungles full of

violent fauna and lethal flora make inhabitation by sentients difficult. The exceptions are the wide, short-lived meadows created by gigantic native herbivores called grassers, six-legged monstrosities that tear down the jungle and leave grasslands in their wake. The planet's population is divided into the native Korunnai ("Uplanders" in their own tongue), Human offshoots that live in nomadic tribes called ghôsh, and everyone else. The natives refer to the latter group as "Balawai," or "Downfolk" -- a semiderogative term that refers to all those who live in settlements, whether Human or any other species. Both Korunnai and Balawai dwell on the planet's major landmass, the Korunnal Highland, for the most part peacefully. The Downfolk stay in the capital of Pelek Baw, living in a cozy but fairly typical galactic society, while the Korunnai avoid the settlements and follow the roaming grassers, as they have for thousands of years, something the Balawai are more than happy to let them do. Every Korunnai is born Force-sensitive. A popular and quite probably accurate (but unconfirmable) legend holds that the Korunnai are the descendants of ancient Jedi explorers, marooned millennia ago, who adapted to the hard life on Haruun Kal. The planet is the homeworld of Jedi Master Mace Windu and was an important battleground in the Clone Wars, despite its relatively small population and questionable strategic significance. Korunnai nomads are genetically Human in most every respect, however, each is born Force-sensitive. The thakiz baw'kal -- literally, "Downstorm" -- that annually blows the upper layers of the cloudsea into the lowlands around Korunnai has led the Korunnai to evolve a high tolerance to poisons in the atmosphere. Appearances and Examples: Mace Windu, appearing in all three of the prequel trilogy films, is revealed to be a Korunnai in the Clone Wars novel Shatterpoint. Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: None. In lieu of the usual Human bonus feat at first level, Korunnai receive the “Force-sensitive” feat. Toxin Resistance: +5 species bonus to Fortitude Defense versus gaseous toxins. Size: Medium. As Medium-sized creatures, Korunnai have no special bonuses or penalties due to size. Base speed: 6 sq. Language(s): Korunnai, Speak Basic

KURTZEN Kurtzen, the pale, hairless, humanoid natives of the planet Bakura, are the only sentient species native to the planet. Few in number, the nomadic Kurtzen became a minority when Bakura was settled by Human settlers. At the time of the Battle of Bakura, only two of forty members of the Bakuran Senate were Kurtzen. By 4 ABY, the Kurtzen natives comprised a mere 5% of the planet’s population. Kurtzen religious beliefs center around a universal “life force” similar to the Force. A multitude of totems and items called "life trinkets" are central to their faith. Appearances and Examples: Kurtzen are featured in the novel “Truce at Bakura,” and a Kurtzen named Arrizza is featured in the novel “Force Heretic II: Refugee. “ Bonus Feat: A kurtzen gains a bonus feat at 1st level. Trained Skill: A kurtzen may choose an additional trained skill at 1st level. Strong will: A kurtzen gains a +1 bonus to its Will defense. Primitive: as the ewok trait. Size: Medium

Speed: 6 squares. Languages: Kurtzen & Basic KWA

The Kwa were bipedal, three-meter tall, cobalt-blue skinned saurians who had the ability to communicate with those whose psychic abilities matched theirs. Kwa could also run at incredible speeds. They were an ancient species that built the Star Temples on Dathomir. They also built and used the Infinity Gates as a weapon and as a means of interstellar travel. When their empire was at its height, about 100,000 BBY, they encountered the Gree Empire, leading to border disputes between them. For some unknown reason, the Kwa later began to lose their influence in galactic politics. They sealed the Infinity Gates and Star Temples, and set guardians to protect the Temples, giant wuffa worms with thick hides and impressive speed. Though it is unknown what happened to the rest of the Kwa around the galaxy, the original settlers of Dathomir eventually degenerated into the primitive species later known as the Kwi.

Appearances and Examples: The Kwa first appeared in the “Young Jedi Knights” novel “Shadow Academy,” and appear again in the Dark Horse comic “Infinity’s End,” in a vision of Quinlan Vos. Ability Modifiers: Str +2, Dex –2, Int +2, Wis +2, Cha –2 Bonus Feat: Kwa gain Force-Sensitive as a bonus feat. Size: Large (–1 to Reflex Defense, –5 on Stealth checks, +5 on Grapple checks, +5 to Damage Threshold, increased carrying capacity and damage) Speed: 12 squares. Language: Kwa Note: The Kwa became extinct many millennia ago; GM discretion is advised in allowing the Kwa as a PC species.

KWI

The Kwi are the degenerated descendants of Dathomir's first settlers, the saurian Kwa. The Kwi are four-meter-long, bipedal, cobalt-blue-skinned saurians capable of running at incredible speeds. They lack the capability for speech; however, unlike the Kwa, they possessed a collective memory of their former glory and the importance of the protection of the ancient Star Temples. In 31 BBY, many Kwi were slaughtered by the Nightsisters during their attempt to access the secrets of the Infinity Gate. The remaining Kwi disappeared into the deserts and formed tribes including the Blue Desert People and the Blue Mountain People. The Kwi also migrate every dawn and every dusk.

Appearances and Examples: Kwi first appeared in the novel “The Courtship of Princess Leia,” and also appeared in the Dark Horse comic “Infinity’s End.” Ability Modifiers: Str +2, Con +2, Int –4, Cha –2 Natural weapons: A member of this species may make a claw attack (base damage 1d6 plus Str modifier) or bite attack (1d8 plus twice Str modifier) instead of an unarmed attack, or as an off-hand attack. Claw attacks count as Small melee weapons, while bite attacks count as Medium melee weapojns. A character can apply Weapon Focus (and derived talents) to its own natural weapons. Animalistic: Kwi gain no proficiency with any weapons or armor, even if their class allows it. Furthermore, Kwi are unable to talk, though some exceptional individuals are able to understand basic or even other languages. Size: Large (–1 to Reflex Defense, –5 on Stealth checks, +5 on Grapple checks, +5 to Damage Threshold, increased carrying capacity and damage) Speed: 12 squares. Language: None LEFFINGITE

Leffingites are a bovine, bipedal, sapient species hailing from the planet Almak. They are characterized by broad noses with large nostrils, small tusk-like teeth protruding from their bottom jaw, and horn-like protrusions above their lidded eyed. Their large, cartilaginous ears virtually funnel sound waves to their auditory receptors, providing them with slightly improved hearing. Appearances and Examples: Magaloof, appeared in “Attack of the Clones,” flying an airspeeder.

Con +2, Int -2, Wis –2 Natural weapon: A leffingite may make a gore attack with its horns (damage 1d4 plus the character’s Str modifier) instead of an unarmed attack, or as an off-hand attack.

Large ears: A leffingite may reroll any Perception check made to listen, but he must keep the second result. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Languages: Leffingite & Basic.

LUTRILLIAN Hailing from the planet Lutrillia, in the perilous “Lutrillian Cross” of the Nothoiin Hyperspace Corridor, where many ships mysteriously disappear (presumably from gravitational anomalies), Lutrillians are humanoids whose large faces are dominated by wide-set eyes and fuzzy jowls. They have small ears and a wide, flat nose. Lutrillians are shrewd nomads who roam their planet in gigantic, wheeled cities that strip food, water and ore from the land before relocating. Although known for being greedy, adventurous risk-takers with little respect for or understanding of others’ personal space, Lutrillians are an amiable lot and excellent bargainers, earning them positions as merchants or government functionaries on other worlds. There are many Lutrillians on Bespin. Their language is an inelegant one, characterized by snorts and monosyllabic grunts.

Appearances and Examples: The Lutrillian Clone Wars veteran Solomahal can be seen in the Cantina scene in “A New Hope,” and the Lutrillian travel agent Treva Horme can be spotted in Cloud City in “The Empire Strikes Back.” Ability Score Modifiers: None Survivalist: Lutrillians may reroll any Survival check, but they must take the second check result. When in an arid climate or desert environment, a Lutrillian may take 10 in any Survival check, even when rushed or threatened. Low-light vision: As per the SECR. Size: Medium. Speed: 6 squares.

MANTELLIAN SAVRIP

Mantellian Savrips are large, sentient natives to Ord Mantell. They are characterized by hunched-over statures, leathery skin, snake-like heads, and arms long enough to drag on the ground. They are often believed to be simply a very cunning non-sentient animal by many other species; however, the Savrips are actually sentient but very technologically primitive. Savrips aamong the longest-lived species in the Galaxy, with average lifespans of about one thousand standard years. Savrips are natually inclined to combat, and this, coupled with their unusual, informal language, fosters the notion that they are unintelligent. Consequently, many have been hunted or eand, by the time of the Galactic Empire, few Savrips remained on Ord Mantell.

Savrip meat was also enjoyed by some, such as Baroness Omnino, who, with her son, planned to breed them for food on Ord Mantell. However, the plan never came to fruition. Appearances and Examples: A Mantellian Savrip appears as a dejarik holomonster in “A New Hope.” Str +4, Dex –2, Con +2, Int –6, Cha -2 Natural weapon: A savrip may make a bite attack (damage 1d8 plus double Str modifier) or claw attack (damage 1d6 plus Str modifier) instead of an unarmed attack. A savrip's bite attacks count as two-handed melee weapons; its claw attacks count as one-handed melee weapons. A character can apply Weapon Focus (and derived talents) to its own natural weapons. Thick hide: A savrip’s scaly hide grants it a +2 natural armor bonus to its Reflex defense.

See Sith, infra. MEERIAN

Meerians are a race of short, silver-haired Near-Humans from the planet Bandomeer.

40

As a people, the Meerians were a slow, deliberate race with a primitive society that was unprepared to deal with the Galactic Republic survey teams that first encountered them. While the Republic recognized the Meerians as a people and as the true owners of Bandomeer's resources, the Meerians were never given full control of the mining operations which were established on the planet. Instead, the Meerians merely shared in the profits. The Meerians evolved over time with adaptations to the smoggy conditions brought on by excessive mining operations. Their noses and lungs worked together to filter out particulate matter and certain toxic chemicals. The hair of a Meerian individual was actually formed from metallic elements.

Dex –2, Con +2 Natural resistance: Members of this species gain a +2 racial bonus to their Fortitude defense; this bonus increases to +5 against all poisons and air-related hazards (such as a toxic atmosphere).

MELODIE Melodies are a humanoid water-based species native to Yavin 8, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish. The species lives deep within the purple mountains of their homeworld, most notably, Sistra Mountain. Melodies hatch from eggs and start life on land. These young Melodies live around the underground freshwater lakes deep within the caverns and inlets of the moon's equatorial mountain ranges until the age of 20, when they complete the change into adulthood, assuming the title of Elder in an event called the Changing Ceremony. To begin their transformation from land-dweller to water-breather, young Melodies, or Changelings, are taken down a shallow cove, the only relatively safe haven for them from numerous predators, including the bird-like avrils, the rodent-like raiths, the serpentine reels and the spidery purellas. The cove is covered in a blue-green algae which creates oxygen through photosynthesis for the Changelings to breathe. This transformation can take weeks, making the Changelings vulnerable to attacks from Yavin 8's predators. There, they are guarded by their fellow Melodies who had not changed. During the

ceremony, a Changeling's legs grow together into a single finned tail, and the Melodie grows gills for breathing underwater. When the transformation from Changeling to Elder is complete, the Melodie retreats to deep underground lakes within the mountains where they live the rest of their adult lives. Elders are able to surface for limited amounts of time to communicate with their young. However, this did not apply to the oldest Melodies, who were not able to surface at all. Prior to the Changing Ceremony, young Melodies care for the infant Melodies by grinding the trico plant into an edible paste until the infants are old enough to eat the silver-backed fish that live in the pools within the mountain. In 3,997 BBY, during the Sith Lord Exar Kun's reign over the Massassi of Yavin 4, he imprisoned their children in a spherical device called the “Golden Globe” for the purpose of both controlling the Massassi and to drain the life energies of its trapped captives. The desperate Massassi parents came to Yavin 8 to seek help and met the children of the Melodies. The children took them to their Elders but they could offer no help since they were unable to leave the waters. The Massassi engraved messages in the rocks and caves of Yavin 8 so that someone might read them and come to their aid. However, these messages were written in the Massassi tongue and the Melodie could not read them, much less prevent the extinction of the Massassi in 3,996 BBY during the Jedi/Republic asssault on the jungle moon. The fate of the species following the Yuuzhan Vong War is currently unknown. Appearances and Examples: In the “Junior Jedi Knights” series of novels, a Force-sensitive Melodie named Lyric studied at Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Praxeum in 22 ABY. In the novels “Edge of Victory I: Conquest,” “Star by Star” and “The Unifying Force,” the Yuuzhan Vong conquiered the moon and unleashed deadly Jedi-hunting Voxyn, which claimed Lyric’s life. Str –2, Wis +2, Cha +2 Charm: A Melodie may reroll any Persuasion check, but must keep the second result. Amphibious: A melodie can't drown in water Hold breath: A melodie cannot breath air out of the water, but may “hold breath” (when out of the water) for a number of minutes equal to its Constitution score x3. Expert swimmer: A Melodie may take 10 on any Swim checks, even when rushed or threatened, and may reroll any Swim check, but must keep the second check result. Primitive: as the ewok trait. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Melodie Note: the stats above are for the adult form of a melodie. Young adult and younger melodies resemble humans physically, and they don’t have the amphibious, hold breath or expert swimmer ability.

MIMBANITE Like their fellow denizens of Mimban, also known as Circarpous IV, Mimbanites are humanoids with short fur, but are smaller and less robust. Unlike the gray-furred Coway, Mimbanite fur is green, hence the derogatory epithet “Greenies.” (Not to be confused with the same off-world epithet applied toward Rodians.) Unwilling or unable to retreat to caves deep in the swamplands like the Coway, when the Galactic Empire set up their mining operations, Mimbanites were reduced to scavenging garbage heaps and begging for alcohol. This once proud race was held in contempt by the Imperial troops and miners.

The term Mimbanite also applied to a species of semi-sentient hairy quadrupeds who also evolved on the planet. Appearances and Examples: Mimbanites appear in the 1978 “Adventures of Luke Skywalker” novel “Splinters of the Mind’s Eye.” Con +2, Wis –2, Cha –2 Survivalist: A mimbanite may reroll any Survival check, but he must keep the second result. When in urban settlements, mimbanites may take 10 on any Survival check, even when rushed or threatened. Darkvision: as described in the SECR. Poison resistant: A mimbanite gains a +5 bonus to his Fort defense vs ingested poisons. Primitive: as the ewok trait. Addiction: A mimbanite must succed on a Wisdom check (CD 10) to refuse when offered alcoholic beverages. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Mimbanite & Basic

MIRIALAN

Mirialans are near-Humans from the planet Mirial with bright blue eyes and olive-colored skin, that of males being generally darker than that of females. Mirialans are religious and practice a primitive understanding of the Force, believing each individual's actions to contribute to his or her destiny. Mirialans place unique tattoos on their face and hands to signify completion of a certain test or task. The number of tattoos often indicates the maturity of a Mirilian. Female Mirialans often wear elaborate headdresses and long, flowing robes. Appearances and Examples: Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and her student Barriss Offee appeared in “Attack of the Clones.” Luminara Unduli also appeared in “Revenge of the Sith.” Ability Modifiers: None Speed: 6 squares.

MUSTAFARIAN

Mustafarians are the native sentient species of the volcanic planet Mustafar. They are divided into two subspecies: the taller, thinner northern subspecies, and a smaller, stockier, and hardier southern subspecies. Mustafarians evolved from extremophilic arthropods whose natural habitat was the slightly cooler hollows and caves inside Mustafar's dormant volcanoes. Mustafarians typically ride Mustafarian lava fleas as a means of conveyance and fashion armor from the fleas’ exoskeleton to protect themselves from the hotter lava flows on the surface. Even without lava flea armor, Mustafarian skin is tough enough to resist standard blaster bolts. Mustafarians use weapons which fire bolts of kinetic force. Mustafarians have a highly symbolic culture. Their architecture is

based on the shape of the kahel cave fungus. They also practice a test-of-manhood ritual requiring younglings to jump a lavafall on a lava flea without protective clothing. Aside from a three-hundred year old trade treaty with the Techno Union, which provided technology through trade that allowed the Mustafarians to survive even the harshest conditions on their homeworld in exchange for their employment as lava miners for the Techno Union, Mustafarians were generally unconcerned about off-world affairs. Their fate under the Galactic Empire after Darth Vader's massacre of the Separatist Council leaders in 19 BBY is unknown. Appearances and Examples: In “Revenge of the Sith,” several Mustafarian lava miners are shown riding harvesting platforms skimming over the active flows, extracting lava with large, pole-mounted cauldrons, extracting minerals from lava streams for the Techno Union. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Con +2, Wis –2, Cha –2 Natural armor: A mustafarian gains a +2 natural armor bonus to its Reflex defense. Exotic weapon: A mustafarian with Weapon Proficiency (pistols) or Weapon Proficiency (rifles) is considered proficient in the kinetic bolt gun (see below) as well. Heat resistance: Mustafarians gain a +5 racial bonus to their Fortitude defense against heat effects, plus they have damage reduction 10 against fire and heat-based attacks.

NAUTOLAN (official Wizards of the Coast stats from the Dawn of Defiance Rewards Card) Nautolans, sometimes referred to as Nautiloids, are an amphibious humanoid species with low light vision and excellent swimming skills. They stand, on average, 1.8 meters tall; have smooth green, blue, or brown skin; fourteen tentacles on the back of their head; and large, lidless, black eyes. Nautolans also possess exceptional olfactory and pheromone sensing skills, enhanced by their head-tentacles. These tendrils are used to detect the emotional state of another being, but are most effective underwater. Within Nautolan culture, the ability to sense pheromone changes is an essential part of the communication process.

Nautolans hail from the watery planet Glee Anselm. Although they have established settlements across their aquatic homeworld, most Nautolan civilization is centered in and around the Sabilon region. Like their sense of sthe Nautolan language is also designed for use underwater and not fully pronounceable in a gaseous atmosphere. Because of the loss in linguistic detail, most Nautolans chose to speak Anselminan or Galactic Basic when traveling offworld. In addition, Nautolans used other communicative cues when ssuch as reading the swirls in other Nautolans' large black eyes.

Nautolan history is marked by periodic, brief conflicts with the non-amphibious Anselmi since they discovered each other millennia before the rise of the Galactic Empire. Most conflicts were usually prompted by encroachment disputes regarding Nautolan territory, but fishing rights, subaquatic development and waste disposal are also causes of conflict. Each conflict, however, has been quickly resolved by the Nautolans' martial superiority grinding Anselmi aggression to a standstill, although several occasions required the involvement of the Galactic Republic to force a resolution. Little is known about Nautolan culture, as few Nautolans have left Glee Anselm, but their music is occasionally found amongst savvy music collectors. Nautolan music is comprised of sustained notes held in irregular patterns with occasional pauses. These pauses were considered the most important part of the music to the Nautolans, causing non-Nautolan listeners to misunderstand their artistic intent. Appearances and Examples: Jedi Master Kit Fisto appears “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith.” Species Traits: +2 Con, -2 Int, -2 Wis Rubbery Skin: A Nautolan’s Rubbery Hide provides a DR 2. Breathe Underwater: See Mon Calamari trait (SECR page 29). Expert Swimmer: A Nautolan may take 10 on any Swim checks, even when rushed or threatened, and may also reroll any Swim check, but must keep the second check result. Low-light vision: As per the SECR. Pheromonal Sensor: Nautolans may choose to reroll any Perception check made to sense deception or sense influence, but the result of the reroll must be accepted even if it is worse. If a Nautolan is underwater, he may take the better result of the two rolls instead. Size: Medium Speed: 6 sq. (walking), 4 sq. (swimming) Language: Nautolan, Anselmian & Basic

NEDIJI

This odiferous alien race is native to the remote world of Nedij, a windswept, mountainous world characterized by dizzying precipices pocked with the eyries of its avian denizens. The Nediji are distinguished by their distinct – and, to some species, offensive – odor and bird-like face, but are more humanoid than avian. The nose and mouth are formed from rubbery cartilage that tapers into a sharp point resembling a beak, but the head is smooth, and the ears are flat against the skull. Their frames are slight and light. The skin of a Nediji is covered with what appears to be pale blue fur or feathers, with a darker blue patch of skin beneath the chin. The fingertips of a Nediji end in yellow talons, adding to their bird-like appearance, and tufts of feathery down behind the arms results in vestigial wings which, although unable to carry the Nediji in full-fledged flight, do allow them to glide on heavy currents of air which, on their windy homeworld, is a near approximation of flight. This is evidenced by the “Nest Blessing,” a quasi-secret form of greeting used by members of the Nediji race but virtually unknown on non-Nediji: “Fly free, fly straight, Brother of the Air.” The favored food of the day-hunting Nediji consists of immature bool grubs, an insect native to the planet Nedij. A synthesized version of the grub serves for those rare instances when a Nediji is away from the homeworld. The

mammalian rath-scurrier and taboret are also favored foods of the Nediji. Exobiologists speculate that the Nediji diet contributes greatly to the species’ distinct odor. The eyesight of the Nediji can perceive colors above and below the wavelengths of light visible to most species, such as berl, crynor, nusp and onsible. The ultraviolet shadowcloak of an Umbaran, for example, appears not as a dull, flat grey, but as a swirling vortex of radiant colors, making the Nediji immune to its camouflaging capabilities. According to Nediji legend, their race was birthed from a single egg, “The Cosmic Egg,” and it is said that any Nediji individual is never more than seven wings away from the Great Raptor, the greatest of the Nediji gods,. The D’javl, a demonic religious icon, is believed to be in constant conflict with the Great Raptor. Most Nediji remain on their homeworld throughout their lives, living with their “Brothers of the Air” as part of the Flock – their planetary society. All Nediji are, by definition, members of the Flock, although some individuals find that they are unable to exist within the Flock. These individuals are often exiled from Nedij, and are the only known members of Nediji society to travel the rest of the galaxy. It is generally believed that travel off-world is considered taboo among the Flock. The exiled are free to leave Nedij, and make their way in the galaxy as trackers and assassins. The number of off-world Nediji is exceptionally small, however, making their appearance in the galaxy an unusual occurrence and their innate skills relatively unknown. One such skill is the “thoughtshield,” a form of mental shielding practiced by the Nediji species. Through intense training and maintenance, a Nediji individual can shield his thoughts and emotions from another being, allowing them to remain stoic while determining their next course of action, and granting the added benefit of shielding them somewhat from the Empathy subskill of Use the Force. Nediji, having evolved from the diurnal predator raptors of their homeworld, inherited the lightning-fast mobility of their ancestors. Nediji are highly dexterous and move nearly twice as fast as most species. Appearances and Examples: Kaird, a Nediji assassin who found work within the Black Sun organization during the last decades of the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars, was dispatched to the planet Drongar to spy on the bota-

processing system of Republic Admiral Tarnese Bleyd and his cohort Filba the Hutt, as seen in the Clone Wars novel, “Medstar I: Battle Surgeons,” by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry. Species Traits: +2 DEX, -2 CON, -2 STR Glide: The Nediji have vestigial wings that allow them to glide through the air. They cannot actually fly with this ability, and any movement through the air must begin above the level of the ground, even if this is only a few feet. Because the gliding ability involves aerodynamics, this ability does not work in places where there is no air or there is an unusually thin atmosphere. A Nediji may glide a horizontal distance that is two times the height above the ground where he starts. He can glide at twice his normal walking base speed. Thoughtshield: Through intense mental training and maintenance, a Nediji can shield his thoughts and emotions from others, granting himself a +2 to Will Defense vs. the Empathy subskill of Use the Force. Bad Smell: Nediji exude an odor that is offensive to most other beings. The smell, at worst, disgusts, and, at best, annoys, those around the Nediji. A Nediji will be avoided if possible and must endure constant comments on the subject if not. He suffers a -2 on checks to change the attitude of others when interacting with races that can smell. Expensive perfumes can tone down or hide the offensive odor. Medium-sized. As Medium-sized creatures, Nediji have no special bonuses or penalties due to size. Base Speed: 6 squares (walking), 12 squares (gliding) Language(s): Nediji and Basic NELVAANIAN

The Nelvaanians, or Nelvaans, were bipedal, blue-furred canines native to the planet Nelvaan. They called their planet the 'Great Mother', which they worshiped. Nelvaanian males became warriors and scouts while the females were builders, gatherers, and raised the children. The tribe was governed by one shaman who claimed spiritual rites within a clan.

46

During the Clone Wars, Nelvaan was the location of a CIS base run by members of the Techno Union. General Grievous lured warriors from the

Rokrul village by having them believe he was a prophesied figure out of Nelvaan mythology. Techno Union scientists then captured them, and physically and mentally altered them into cyborgs for the war. Anakin Skywalker, who was referred to by the race as “Holt Kezed” (“Ghost Hand” in their language), freed them and destroyed the Separatist base. Although initially frightened by the appearance of their warriors, the females and children soon grew to accept them. Future generations of males retained the traits of their mutant progenitors, and as a result were larger than the females, who did not inherit the aforementioned characteristic. Appearances and Examples: The plight of the Nelvaanians and their rescue by Anakin Skywalker appeared in Season Two of the “Clone Wars” animated television series. Ability Modifiers: None (although males of the Clone War era and thereafter have a +2 STR, -2 CHA) Scent: as per the ewok trait. Natural attunement: A nelvaanian may reroll any Survival check, but it must keep the second check result. Low-light vision: As described in the SECR: Primitive: as the ewok trait.

ONGREE

OSWAFT

Ongree are amphibious insectivores that hail from several planets amidst the Skustell Cluster. Which among these colonies is their true homeworld is a long-disputed and sensitive topic among their kind. Their arms are long and their tall, strong, multi-jointed legs are bowed, enabling the Ongree to walk faster due to longer strides, and also to make prodigious leaps and vicious kicks. Their toothy mouth is located above their eyestalks – an evolutionary holdover from the days when they preyed on the insects that bred and fed on the surface of water – giving their head an “upside-down” appearance. Each hand sports only one finger and an opposable thumb. Appearances and Examples: Ongree Jedi Pablo-Jill survived the Battle of Geonosis and another Ongree patron can be spotted in the Outlander Club scene in “Attack of the Clones.”

Species Traits (by Isirga Eth, Adapted from Lordlightvader’s writeup): Ability Modifiers: Con –2, Wis +2 Perceptive: An ongree may reroll any Perception check, but it must keep the second check result. Additionally, an ongree may take 10 on any Perception check requiring sight. Amphibious: An ongree can't drown in water Expert swimmer: An ongree may take 10 on any Swim checks, even when rushed or threatened, and may reroll any Swim check, but must keep the second check result. Conditional Bonus Feat: A gados trained in Persuasion gains Skill Focus (Persuasion) as a bonus feat. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Ongree & Basic

The Oswaft are gigantic, sentient, transparent, manta-like creatures that live inside the ThonBoka nebula in the Centrality. They speak an intense, information-dense language and are capable of making hyperspace jumps. Their brains comprise approximately two-thirds of their massive volume. Young adult Oswaft are, on average, half a kilometer across at the

wingtips, and the Elders of the species are at least twice that size. Oswaft grow throughout their lives. They have tentacles on their undersides, and two sensory projections on the front of their bodies. They excrete gemstones from the elements they consume in their environment. The Oswaft are naturally transparent, but became opaque when they die. The Oswaft are cautious creatures and seldom, if ever, leave the safety of their home nebula. Thus, they remain in isolation from the rest of the Galaxy at large. Honorific syllables were added to an Oswaft's name as they grew older and more influential, and the ruling Oswaft Elders had names of six to nineteen or more syllables. In 3 BBY, Emperor Palpatine tried to exterminate the Oswaft because of his distrust of an intelligent alien species of significant population that could make hyperspace jumps at will. An armada of 500 capital ships under the command of his local ally Sorcerer of Tund and Centran Scrivinir Rokur Gepta blockaded the ThonBoka Nebula. The armada's Carrack-class light cruisers were modified to contaminate the interstellar plankton that inhabited the nebula. Help came in the form of Lando Calrissian and a mysterious droid species known as the Silentiums, who led the Oswaft against the Imperial fleet

during the Battle of ThonBoka. What happened to them afterwards, if Palpatine ever attempted to continue his purge, or what their role was in the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, are all unknown. Appearances and Examples: Lehesu, a rare Oswaft explorer, aided Lando Calrissian and Vuffi Raa in the “Adventures of Lando Calrissian” novel “Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka.” Str +12, Dex –10, Int +2, Wis –2, Cha –4 Living navcomp: An oswaft’s brain, taking up most of its one-kilometer wide mass, works as an organic navcomp, allowing the creature to do things like deciphering electronic codes or plotting hyperspace jumps. An oswaft may make any Use Computer check using only its own brain; the oswaft is considered trained in Use Computer for this purpose. If the oswaft uses its living navcomp to make an astrogation check, it may make the corresponding hyperspace jump, just as if it was a starship. An oswaft may communicate with any computer or comlink by emitting radio waves via its own unique language. Vacuum immunity: An oswaft suffers no ill effects from vacuum-related hazards. Space diet: An oswaft can only survive on special nutrients found in certain areas of space; when not in such areas, an oswaft must make Endurance checks to resist hunger, and it will eventually starve unless it finds the nutrients it needs floating in space. Size: Colossal (–10 to Reflex Defense, –20 on Stealth checks, +20 on Grapple checks, +50 to Damage Threshold, greatly increased carrying capacity and damage) Language: Oswaft Note: Oswafts are a VERY disrupting PC species, as interaction with other characters is virtually impossible for them due to their size. GM discretion is strongly advised when allowing oswafts as a PC species.

PAAERDUAG

Paaerduags – the species’ actual name being unpronounceable to other species – are a pair of symbiots, including a large, yellowish, hunchbacked, two-legged creature with a small green, four-eyed creature sprouting out of its back. Much of the language, including the true name of their homeworld, is unpronounceable for and incomprehensible to non-Paaerduag, for one required two mouths and four ears to truly speak and hear it. The green head communicates with non-Paaerduag, as the sounds produced by the larger, yellow creature cannot be heard by most species. Their homeworld is Sorjus, a planet far off the Perlemian Trade Route. At birth, the two humanoid components are separate beings, which, as they grow, fuse together. The larger creature controls movement and the smaller creature directs the pair. Appearances and Examples: Revan encountered two Paaerduags, Ja'Gatcha and Mic'tunan'jus Orgu, in the “Knights of the Old Republic” video game.

Dex –2, Con +2 Self-coordination: At the beginning of its turn, as a free action, a paaerduag may make a Persuasion check against its own Will defense. If the check succeeds, the paaerduag may take an extra swift action that round. If the check fails, the paaerduag may take no more actions that round, as it spends its entire turn arguing with itself. Two heads: A paaerduag may reroll any Perception check, keeping the best result. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Paaerdaug & Basic

PAU'AN

Pau'ans are one of two species native to the sinkhole world of Utapau. They are gaunt near-Humans who reside in cities lining the sinkhole walls. Pau'ans, like the stocky Utai with whom they share the planet, are also known as Utapau'ans. The average Pau'an stands taller than a Human, with a bald head striped with furrowed gray skin. Pau’ans prefer elaborate clothes intended to heighten their impressive stature. They can appear frightening to some, with large, sunken black eyes and jagged, fang-like teeth used for tearing into raw meat. However, most Pau'ans are friendly and welcome guests to their often overlooked world. The Pau'ans once resided on the scrub-covered surface of Utapau, while the Utai made their homes in the planet's sinkholes. However, a climate change forced the Pau'ans underground, into the sinkholes. Over time, the two societies merged together to live in a au'ans represent only about thirty percent of the population on Utapau, though as th

administrators and bureaucrats of the sinkhole cities, their influence makes up for their lack of numbers. Psinkhole walls, Pau'an settlements such as the Pau City spaceport are divided into different areas, each a mix of architectural styles and other-worldly design. Pau'ans have developed an industrial society, despite their seemingprimitive, troglodyte image, though it is the Utai who carry out labor work on Utapau. Sattempted to remain neutral in the conflict, though General Grievous and his allies turned the planet into a Separatist safehouse. With the arrival of Obi-Wan Kenobi, many Pau'ans fought back against the droid forces, though Utapau wsubjugated once more with the formation of the Empire. Pau'an captives were shipped as slaves for several Imperial projects including the colonization of Byss. A“Revenge of the Sith.” InDiplomatic: A PDarkvision: As per the SECR.

PHUII Hailing from the rocky planet Phu on the inner edge of the Colonies Region, these gangly, needle-nosed bipedal reptiles stand, on average, just over a meter and a half tall. At least a third of their height is their long neck. Their hands sport two fingers and an opposable thumb. Despite their gangly appearance, they enjoy extraordinary dexterity and a quick metabolism and reflexes.

Appearances and Examples: The Phuii Mars Guo pilots his podracer in competition against Anakin Skywalker in “The Phantom Menace.” Dex +2, Wis –2, Cha –2 Fast reflexes: A Phuii may reroll any Initiative check, but he must take the second check result. Natural climber: A phuii may take 10 on any Climb check, even when rushed or

Priapulins are an enormous, sapient worm-like species from the planet Pria. They have five knobby notochords arranged around their tubular length. When fully extended flat, they measure four meters in length; however, they prefer the configuration of an upright S shape. They have three pairs of eyes, and their underbellies are covered in thick bristles. The hooked, thorny, spiny or spatulate appendages along the edges of their bodies are specialized for a variety of purposes. Priapulins speak Basic in a smooth whisper. Priapulin measure distance in "salt pans" (nine of which equal eleven kilometers) and time in "tides" (one of which equals ten hours). Appearances and Examples: Charza Kwinn, a Priapulin pilot employed by the Jedi, transported Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to Zonama Sekot in the novel “Rogue Planet.”

Dex –2, Con +2 Amphibious: A priapulin can’t drown in water. Expert swimmer: A priapulin may take 10 on any Swim check. Multilegged: A priapulin may take 10 on any Climb check, plus it gains a +2 bonus on checks made to avoid being tripped or Bantha Rushed.

P'W'ECK The P'w'ecks are warm-blooded reptilians similar in appearance to the Ssi-Ruuk but lower in intelligence and smaller in size, with three-lidded eyes, short tails and drooping eyes. P'w'ecks are likely descended from the brown-scaled Ssi-Ruuk outcasts.

51

The Ssi-Ruuk dominated the P'w'ecks for thousands of years, using them as slaves, guards, ship crews and beasts of burden to perform the lowliest jobs in Ssi-Ruuvi society. P'w'ecks were also “enteched” by their Ssi-ruuvi masters, their life-energy used to power battle droids. The Ssi-Ruuk considered P'w'ecks extremely expendable. Like their Ssi-ruuvi masters, the P'w'ecks were not able to speak Galactic Basic, but spoke Ssi-ruuvi. In 28 ABY, the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, led by a P’w’eck named Lwothin, organized a P’w’eck slave revolt and thwarted the Ssi-Ruuk’s second attempt to invade the planet Bakura. Appearances and Examples: Lwothin led the P’w’eck slave revolt in the 2003 New

Jedi Order era novel “Force Heretic II: Refugee” by Sean Williams and Shane Dix. Dex +2, Int –2, Wis –2 Natural weapons: A member of this species may make a claw attack (damage 1d4 plus the character’s Str modifier) or tail attack (damage 1d6 plus the character’s Str modifier) instead of an unarmed attack, or as an off-hand attack. Bite attacks count as Medium melee weapons; claw attacks are Small melee weapons. A character can apply Weapon Focus (and derived talents) to its own natural weapons. Scent: As per the ewok trait. Natural armor: A p’w’eck gains a +1 armor bonus to its Reflex defense. Poor eyesight: A p’w’eck receives a –2 penalty on Perception checks requiring sight.

QIRAASH

The Qiraash are pale-skinned, pale-eyed near-Humans with large craniums, dark lips dark hair, and natural precognition. Many tend to wear their hair in a topknot. Appearances and Examples: The gold-clad Leesub Sirln, a female Qiraash on the run from the Empire, appeared in the Cantina scene in “A New Hope.” Con –2, Int +2, Wis +2 Bonus Feat: Qiraash gain Force Sensitive as a bonus feat.

RAKATA The Rakata (also known as “the Builders”) are amphibious humanoids whose civilization was once far advanced, having peaked five thousand years before the formation of the Galactic Republic. Long term use of the Dark Side of the Force corrupted their society and turned them into a race of merciless warriors. Through the use of Dark Side fueled technologies, they had formed the so-called “Infinite Empire,” which governed 500 worlds; comprised a population numbering ten billion Rakatan warriors and one trillion slaves, including the Duros and Humans; and dominated known space for thousands of years. By transporting slave species to new worlds, the Rakata were believed to have inadvertently seeded swaths of the galaxy with sentient life. Among its conquests were the Selkath of Manaan, Wookiees of Kashyyyk, Kumumgah of Tatooine, Noghri of Honoghr and the natives of the Corellian Sector. The Rakata may have even displaced the most advanced

species of that time period, including the Killiks of Alderaan and the Sharu of the Rafa system, during their meteoric rise to power. During the reign of their Infinite Empire, they were characterized by their cruelty, savagery, and arrogance. They were known to strip entire planets of their resources, terraform worlds to fit their own shifting needs, kill entire slave workforces, and to eat and defile the bodies of slain enemies. During their period of expansion, the Rakata encountered the Sith species of Korriban. The two species went to war, and the Sith warlord Adas drove the Rakata off of Korriban, but at the expense of his life. After generations of galactic supremacy, constant tensions between internal factions suddenly erupted into a devastating civil war caused by the corrupting influence of their “Star Forge,” a Force-powered, automated shipyard that drew power from a nearby sun. Already weakened by warfare, the Builders were suddenly struck by a deadly plague, possibly created by a slave species as it only infected the Builders themselves. The plague nearly exterminated the Rakata, brought the Infinite Empire to its knees and stripped the Builders of their connection to the Force. Soon, the Rakata lost their ability to manipulate their own technology and were forced to rely on inferior devices. Sensing weakness, the slave species rebelled, collapsing the Infinite Empire in 25,200 BBY. The nearly decimated Rakata abandoned their conquests and retreated to the safety of their homeworld of Lehon, protected by a disruptor field that could disable any incoming ship's communications and navigational systems. The field, operated from the summit of a temple on the surface of Lehon, was originally constructed to protect the Star Forge, but came to serve only to protect the Rakata themselves. On their homeworld, Rakatan civilization rapidly faded into obscurity and barbarism. Warlords devastated the surface of the planet with weapons of mass destruction and the majority of Rakata fled underground. Only the descendants of the Priest Caste, the Elders tribe, remained on the surface protected by their ancient temples and enclaves to retain knowledge of the potent technology and turbulent history of their species. In the following centuries, the Builders were purposefully erased from the records of their slave subjects and the Infinite Empire slipped from the pages of galactic history. Shortly after the turn of the fourth millennium BBY, the Rakata were welcomed into the Republic, but because all records of the Infinite Empire were lost to time, many were skeptical that the seemingly primitive beings had once ruled hundreds of worlds and dominated the galaxy. Meanwhile, the few remaining Rakata refused to leave their remote and isolated homeworld and their gene pool rapidly became too limited to sustain the species. Within just a few generations, the Rakata became extinct. By 1,000 BBY, the planet was completely devoid of sentient life. Dex -2, Int +2, Cha +2 Expert swimmer: Rakata can take 10 on any Swim check, even under stress. Hold breath: Rakata can’t drown in water. Bonus feat: Rakata gain Force-sensitive as a bonus feat (prior to 25,200 BBY only). Conditional bonus feat: A rakata trained in Knowledge (technology) gains Skill Focus in that skill as a bonus feat. Dark side: All rakata begin play with a number of Dark Side points equal to half their Wisdom score (prior to 25,200 BBY only).

RISHII

The avian Rishii of the Rishi system are excellent hunters known for their agreeable and accepting attitude towards outsiders. Rishii have a pair of large wings at the ends of which are Human-like hands and fingers. They are capable of swooping down at very great speeds from cliffs to catch rodents in their talons. Their keen senses make them excellent predators. Rishii have little interest in technology and trade with outsiders only to acquire items to decorate their nests. However, they are intrigued by what they called "shiny rocks," spacecraft, which, as they put it, allow one to fly without wings. Family groups live together in open-air eyries built on cliffs and perches, and members of the tribe live and work together peacefully. They respect members of other tribes who visit them and offworlders who colonized the humid lowlands. Rishii have a talent for mimicking language. They often copy the voices and movements of other beings, much to the annoyance of the person being copied.

Str –2, Wis +2 Flight: A rishi has a fly speed of 6 squares. Heightened senses: A rishii may reroll Perception checks, but it must take the second result. Mimic voice: A rishii may imitate the voice of any creature it has heard, and speak in the mimicked language as if it was its own. Primitive: as the ewok trait.

ROONAN Not to be confused with the collective inhabitants of diverse species known as “Roonians” who reside on the temperate, tidal-locked Outer Rim planet Roon (see http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/article/sw20040311roon), the Roonans of planet Roona are brooding, bulbous-headed, almond-eyed aliens with sibilant voices and a very low tolerance for other species. This intolerance is likely attributable to their isolationist tendencies, which makes it surprising that they joined the Republic at all. The Roonans of Roona have a very morose sense of aesthetics, preferring gloomy light; dark, formal clothing; and ethereal, electronic music. An apology for the Roonan’s nature can be found in the astrophysical and geological circumstances of their homeworld. Due to a complex orbit around a cluster of red dwarfs, the planet Roona is subsumed in perpetual dusk and constant electro-magnetic storms. Their macabre nature can possibly be attributed to the morose lack of light and constant storms on their planet. Because the climate of their planet is so aesthetically disagreeable, few visitors come, and even fewer stay for any long periods, which may account for the Roonans’ xenophobic tendencies.

Appearances and Examples: Senator Edcel Bar Gane, Senator of Roona, seconded the motion for a Vote of No Confidence against Chancellor Valorum in “The Phantom Menace.” He was accompanied by his Roona aide Ree Axel Ov. Roonan Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Int +2, Cha +2 Low-light vision: As per the SECR. Intolerant: A Roonan suffers a –5 penalty on all Persuasion checks made to improve the reactions of non-Roonans. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Language: Roonan SAURIN

Saurins hail from the planet Durkteel of the Mid-Rim, one of the first ten planets to join the Refugee Resettlement Coalition shortly before the Clone Wars, and to loosen its immigration restrictions to allow refugee resettlement of the displaced citizenry of the Separatist crisis. The reptilian Saurins have long, tooth-filled snouts and large, sunken eyes, and are nearly indistinguishable physically from their Trandoshan cousins (although the Trandoshans and Saurins can tell the difference). In fact, some xenobiologists suggest the two species share a recent common ancestor.

54

Saurins are physically powerful, very difficult to injure, and capable of recovering quickly from even the most serious injuries. Like their Trandoshan

cousins and many other reptiles, Saurins hatch from eggs and have thick, scaly skin. They also have supersensitive eyes that can see into the infrared range. Appearances and Examples: The droid-trader Hrchek Kal Fas and his female cousin and bodyguard Sai’Torr Kal Fas were two Saurins who appeared in the Cantina scene of “A New Hope.” Saurin Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Dex –2, Con +2 Bonus Feat: Like their Trandoshan cousins, Saurins gain Toughness as a bonus feat.

Darkvision: As per the SECR. Scaly skin: Saurins gain a +1 natural bonus to their Reflex defense. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Languages: Saurin & Basic SELKATH

The Selkath are a sentient aquatic species, native to the ocean-covered planet of Manaan. While their young need water to survive, once they mature they are able to breathe air. Their skin is blue or green and patterned for underwater camouflage. Their mouths are bracketed by cephalic lobes that direct plankton into their mouths. They tend to stroke these during conversation, analogous to the Human habit of stroking facial hair, such as moustaches. Selkath race have retractable, venom-tipped claws. Similar to the Wookiees, the use of these claws in any form of combat or attack is considered dishonorable and a sign of madness, succumbing to animal instincts unbecoming of a sentient species. Selkaths’ large, gullet-like, water-filled throats contribute to the sloshing gurgling sounds of a Selkath's voice. The native language of the Selkath was Selkatha, which despite its gurgling sound, could be learned by non-Selkath.

The Selkath were evolutionary descendants of the “Progenitor,” a large female firaxan shark, who was considered a deity by the Selkath. The Progenitor had the ability to emit a sonic wailing, causing both firaxan sharks and Selkath to go insane. During the Jedi Civil War, Manaan held great diplomatic sway in the Republic, being home to the only naturally occurring source of the healing substance kolto. At that time, they held tightly to their neutrality; however, a few farsighted Selkath occasionally broke their neutrality in secret, and arranged deals to help their preferred side. Eventually, the kolto market disappeared and the galaxy abandoned the Selkath. It was not until the rise of the Galactic Empire that the Selkath interacted with the galaxy again. However, in the years prior to this, some Selkath did venture offworld, such as that glimpsed in the Gree Enclave in 22 BBY during a HoloNet News item on the Separatist leader Count Dooku. Conquered by the Galactic Empire, the Selkath eventually repulsed the invaders and gained freedom. The Selkath maintain only one surface settlement, Ahto City. This floating city serves as the meeting place between Selkath and offworlders. The Selkath prefer to live in air-filled underwater “pod” settlements, which are restricted to offworlders. Appearances and Examples: Selkath such as Nubassa the animal handler are prominently featured in the “Knights of the Old Republic” video game. Dex –2, Con +2, Cha –2 Rage: As per the wookiee trait.

SHAWDA UBB Hailing from the swamp planet Manpham, the Shawda Ubb are introverted, isolationist amphibians who seldom leave their perches, much less the scattered communities of their homeworld. This is due, in part, from the fact that arid climates dehydrate their naturally moist skin. They prefer a quiet, sedentary existence, pondering life or playing the growdi, a native Shawda Ubb instrument that is a combination water-organ and flute. Despite their small stature, generally little more than a quarter of a meter in height, the pot-bellied Shawda Ubb are dangerous adversaries due to a number of natural defenses, among which is their ability to spit a paralytic poison capable of immobilizing a person for some time. When Shawda Ubb choose to ambulate, they hop more than walk. Appearances and Examples: Rapotwanalantonee (a/k/a “Rappertunie”) played the growdi, a native Shawda Ubb instrument that is a combination water-organ and flute, for Max Rebo’s band in the Special Edition version of “Return of the Jedi.”

Shawda Ubb Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Str –2, Con +2 Paralyzing poison: As a standard action, a shawda ubb may spit poison against a target up to 4 squares away. A shawda ubb’s poison spittle counts as a ranged weapon, dealing 4d6 points of stun damage on a successful hit. Nonliving targets are immune to this ability. Swamp adaptation: Shawda ubb may take 10 in any Survival check made in humid, swampy environments. Water breathing: Shawda ubb cannot drown in water. Environmental discomfort: Shawda ubb are always at least 1 step down on the Condition Track (that is, they cannot reach ‘normal’ condition) for as long as they remain in an arid, dry environment. Speed: 4 squares. Size: Small (+1 to Reflex defense, +5 on Stealth checks, –5 on grapple checks, reduced damage and weight allowance). Language: Speak Shawda Ubb (no written version of the language exists) SHARU / TOKA

The Sharu were a highly advanced, ancient humanoid species

responsible for building the colossal plastic pyramids on the worlds of the Rafa system and for constructing an artifact called the Mindharp, which constantly changed form as it shifted through dimensions. Circa 1,000,000 BBY, the Sharu began to feel threatened by a competing civilization they called “the Architects.” To protect themselves, the Sharu went underground and hid their cities beneath the plastic pyramids. There, the Sharu created the Mindharp so that when another, future civilization was able to activate it, the Sharu would know it was safe to come out. They also used crystalline life-orchards to temporarily drain their intelligence, becoming the primitive Toka, or "Broken People," thus hiding in plain sight from the Architects.

The Toka were exploited by the Human colonists as slaves. In 4 BBY, Lando Calrissian discovered the Mindharp. Rafa IV's governor inadvertently activated the Mindharp and its subharmonic emanations started a reversal of the social order in the Rafa system. The Toka were restored into the legendary Sharu and the pyramids crumbled, with strange, new cities emerging. This also created an interdiction field which prevented hyperspace travel into and out of the system for weeks. Many of the Human settlements had also been destroyed, and the surviving settlers fled. Trade with the Rafa system also collapsed overnight.

56

However, this event brought countless scientists and researchers to the Rafa system. Calrissian was also considered a hero by many for his role in the event. Though the Sharu did not prevent the scientists from doing their work, neither did they cooperate with what they perceived as "lesser sentients." As a result, little is known of Sharu history and technology. Even Emperor Palpatine himself felt threatened enough by the species to install a permanent military garrison in the Rafa system. However, his forces did not make any military move against the Sharu. Later, the New Republic had a five-hundred member research team staffed by the Obroan Institute for Archaeology assigned to research the species. Appearances and Examples: The Toka and Sharu were prominently featured in the “Adventures of Lando Calrissian” novel “Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu.” Species Traits for Sharu: Ability Modifiers: Int +2, Wis +2 Conditional Bonus Feat: A Sharu may choose any one Knowledge skill in which he is trained; he gains Skill Focus in that skill as a bonus feat.

The Siniteen are humanoids characterized by huge crania, which are ridged and convoluted as if their brains were directly under their skin. They have incredible mental abilities, and can process huge calculations in their heads. Early in the history of the Republic, the Siniteen left their lost homeworld Sinitee for reasons known (or perhaps understood) only by them, and colonized the planet Regar I, which is the fifth planet in the Garos system, located in the Juvex Sector. Their planetary government is highly structured and seems to defy conventional labels The religion of the Siniteen centers on highly complex equations and seems to be based on some sort of numerology.

Appearances and Examples: The Siniteen nicknamed “Braniac” by his human partner BoShek appeared in the Cantina scene of “A New Hope.” Siniteen Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Int +4, Cha –2 Superhuman calculation: A siniteen may make an Use Computer check to access information as a swift action, and he suffers no penalty for making an Astrogation check as a full-round action or without a navcomputer/astromech droid.

Before the term “Sith” was used to refer to the evil order of Force-Users devoted to the Dark Side of the Force, it referred to an ancient species of humanoid sentients from the planet Korriban characterized by crimson hides; glowing yellow eyes; and a fierce, vaguely simian, predatory profile. Their jowls, chin abrows often tapered in fleshy tendrils. Sith dressed in various clothing depending on caste and station, with the Massassi Caste being bigger and stronger then other Sith. The Sith's mental state depended on which caste they came from, the Massassi Caste was the warrior caste, and honed their mental skills as much as their physical ones, while those of the upper castes tend to focus more on mental smore then other skills. Depending on where a Sith was born, and what statiothey were expected to perform in, their mental states tended to follow that path

Dtechnology. Around 7,000 BBY, Dark Jedi exiles fleeing from the Galactic Republic after their defeat in the HundredDarkness, established themselves as "divine" rulers over the native Sith, uniting the world under the rule of a Dark Lord of the Sith. Over the generations, the Sith interbred with the Human Dark Jedi. Eventually, the Sith species in its original formwas almost extinct. During the Great Hyperspace War in 5,000 BBY, the Dark Lord Naga Sadow fled to the jungle moon of Yavin 4 along with a contingent of Massassi followers to escape the pursuing Jedi and the Galactic Republic. There, Naga Sadow committed cruel experiments on his own Massassi warriors, which turned them into Dark Side-wielding savages. Pbeyond their new home system.

SLJEE Sljee are non-humanoid sapients from the planet Sljee, with low, slab-shaped bodies, multiple legs, tentacles, and six jointed antennae with bulbs on the end. These antennae, called olfactory stalks, were their primary sense organs. Their unusual appearance led some non-Sjlee to mistake them for exotic animals, or even some sort of motile plants.

61

Sljee were olfaxes, beings who sensed their surroundings and communicated primarily through scent. The Sljee even developed technological devices for scent-based communication. Though their senses of touch and hearing were comparable to Humans, they were completely blind. When they left their homeworld, they had difficulty integrating with Galactic society and were often overwhelmed with the unfamiliar scents of alien worlds. Until they familiarized themselves with these new scents, they often had difficulty recognizing other beings, or even telling different

species apart. With practice, however, Sljee could learn to distinguish species and individuals, and identify them by smell from one hundred meters away. Appearances and Examples: A Sljee waiter on Bonadan mistook Spray, a Tynnan, for Chewbacca's "hatchling" in the novel “Han Solo’s Revenge.” Sljee Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: -2 Str, -4 Dex, +2 Int, +4 Wis. Blindness -- The Sljee are blind and rely on scent and hearing to interact with their environment. Away from their homeworld, they can be overwhelmed by the strange smells of alien beings. When encountering a new alien species for the first time, a Sljee suffers a -5 penalty on all Perception checks. Thereafter, a successful DC 15 Perception check eliminates the penalty regarding that alien species. Scent -- Sljees can identify familiar odors just as Humans recognize familiar sights. Sljees can detect other beings within 100 meters by sense of smell. Flailing Tentacular Attack -- A Sljee may reroll a single unarmed melee attack with his tentacles per round, but must keep the re-roll even if it is worse. Stable-- A Sljee has a +5 stability bonus to resist attempts to knock it prone. Speed: 4 squares. Size: Small. Automatic Language: Sljee. Sljee characters do not automatically speak Basic. SNEEVEL

Sneevels are nimble, anvil-jawed humanoids from the Expansion Region world of Sneeve. Males and females of the species stand between 1.6 and 2.1 meters in height, with males sporting larger jaws and pronounced canines. Their faces are dominated by their porcine snouts and framed by bristly hair that ranges in color from dark black to sandy blonde; the hair turns bone white as a Sneevel ages. They have large, wide-set eyes that range in color from pale yellow to bright red. Their appearance, however, is not usually what one first notices when dealing with Sneevels – more often than not, it’s the smell. Excited, angry, frightened or simply amused, Sneevels exude a strong odor that makes their mood clear to other Sneevels. Most other species merely find it disgusting. Sneevels have a remarkable lust for adventure and new experiences; few other

species are so reckless as Sneevels when it comes to exploration – and few beings are so easily drawn to pursuits where death is almost certain. They are not suicidal, but they are thrill seekers to the extreme.

Before they were discovered by Duros scouts nearly 14,000 years ago, Sneevels already had a technologically advanced society that had spread itself from the highest peaks of their world’s mountains to the deepest recesses of its oceans. When the Duros arrived in the Sneeve system, Sneevels were busy exploring and attempting to colonize their star system using spaceships that were little more than jury-rigged submarines with huge rocket-boosters attached. Duros and, later, Human merchants introduced Sneevels to more efficient, although not as exciting, methods of space travel. With hyperdrives and properly constructed ships at their disposal, Sneevels not only eagerly explored and settled throughout their home system, their insatiable drive for adventure drove them to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. While few Sneevels have shown any serious interest in becoming involved in galactic positics, there have always been many of their kind at the forefront of other fields. Sneevels have made great inroads into exploration (mostly in the area of charting new hyperspace lanes), scientific exploration (largely into dangerous quantum fields), dangerous sports (like Podracing and horizon skimming), and creative fields such as fiction, holovids, music and visual arts. During the reign of the New Order, Sneevels were strongly discouraged from leaving their star system. This only added to the thrill of traveling to strange alien worlds and the smell of even more Sneevels infused cantinas and back alleys during this time. Furthermore, when the Empire installed a governor on Sneeve and started limiting travel to and from the system, Sneevels became early members of the Rebel Alliance, not so much to free the galaxy from the Emperor’s domination, but for the excitement and opportunity to escape confinement on Sneeve. Needless to say while many Sneevels are remembered as heroes of the Rebellion, there are thousands more who died needlessly in pointless quests for excitement and adventure. Appearances and Examples: The Sneevel Boles Roor pilots his podracer in competition against Anakin Skywalker in “The Phantom Menace.” Sneevel Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Dex +2, Cha –2 Stench: Once per encounter, as a free action, a sneevel may make a special stench attack (d20 + the sneevel’s Constitution modifier) against the Fortitude defense of all non-sneevels up to 2 squares away. Those targets hit by the attack go down 1 step on the Condition Track. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium Language: Snee & Basic STENNES SHIFTER

Hailing from the planet Stennaros, these pale-skinned, sunken-eyed humanoids are completely hairless and naturally force sensitive. Although generally xenophobic, they are capable of stealing living energy from nearby beings. They also are able to blend unnoticed into any crowd due to a limited ability to alter their appearance. Though many people have heard of Stennes Shifters, the existence of the species is considered only a legend.

62

Scientists believe that the Stennes Shifter is a genetic variant of the Stennes race, which first appeared some 5,000 before the Battle of Yavin. They were discovered by the ancient Jedi Knights, who noted them for their innate sensitivity to the Living Force. Their xenophobic tendencies are believed to stem in part from millennia of persecution by other species.

Unlike shape-changing species, the Stennes Shifters use telepathic manipulation to alter their appearance. Appearances and Examples: Stennes Shifter Trinto Duaba appears in the cantina scene in “A New Hope”

Stennes Shifter Species Traits: Ability Modifier: Cha –2 Extraordinary Stealth: Stennes shifters may reroll any Stealth check made to avoid notice, taking the best of both results. In addition, any Stennes shifter trained in Stealth gains Skill Focus (Stealth) as a bonus feat.

Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Language: Stennesian SWOKES SWOKES

Hailing from the arid and ugly planet of Makem Te in the Perlemian Route of the Outer Rim, the native Swokes Swokes have nevertheless an impeccable sense of aesthetics, as can be seen in their having extensively decorated their homeworld using only primitive technology. A Swokes Swokes looks like a nightmare, with pasty, rubbery flesh of greenish gray or off-white, a crown of horns, two expressionless fish-eyes, and a mouthful of fangs. Their nervous systems are remarkably primitive, more like those of flatworms than of sentient beings. Swokes Swokes are nearly impervious to pain, since they lack the critical pain receptors that communicate sensitive touch. Their slow-flowing “blood” is more like watery sap and they can regenerate lost limbs. Swokes Swokes are ruthless bullies and tyrants who crave wealth, fame and power. They are demons on the battlefield, and

there have been many battles on Makem Te. Nevertheless, Swokes Swokes are devoutly religious, and carry pouches on their person with the remains of ancestors in them, such as a finger-bone, tooth or dried appendage. Aside from the cities of solid iron rising from the desert of their planet, impossibly delicate in their architecture considering the strength of their manufacture, the planet’s most famous construction is the Tract, a checkerboard necropolis of polished stone squares, each supporting a short pillar called a stela. One tile is laid for every fallen Swokes Swokes. The process, which has been going on for millennia, has produced an astonishing 1.2 trillion memorial squares taking up more than 7 percent of Makem Te’s total landmass. The Swokes Swokes also have a knack with training wild animals, as can be seen by their taming and domesticating the various species of giant desert snakes such as the strong and obedient schinga equa, the subterranean schinga klaug, the tiny schinga picai, the venom-dripping schinga ikkow, and the pureblooded serpent-stallion known as the schinga shikou. The Swokes Swokes government is comprised of hereditary-caliphs from prominent families who rule each city, but the pursuit of personal power is greatly encouraged. Monetary rewards await those who excel, and high status is also exemplified by the surgical implantation of jewelry next to internal organs. These adornments are visible only when a Swokes Swokes is screened by a bioscanner. Swokes Swokes of note also distinguish themselves by taking on double names. Appearances and Examples: Gragra, a gorgmonger that worked the Mos Espa marketplace, and Yeb Yeb Adem’Thorn, senator of Makem Te, appear in “The Phantom Menace.” Oakie Dokes was a patron in the Outlander Club in “Attack of the Clones.” Swokes Swokes Species Traits:

TARENTIAN

Tarentians are amphibious humanoids from the planet Tarento, a largely water-covered world with three islands, the largest of which houses a military research facility run by the planet’s government, a democratic monarchy. During the Late Republic Era, Tarentian researchers experimented with large-scale human cloning; however, they never reached the level of proficiency of the Kaminoans. The majority of the planet’s populace lives in large, underwater, domed cities. The Tarentians are known for their extraordinary talents in the area of technological design. They are rumored to have supported the Bothan Spy Network and the Rebel Alliance with numerous new technologies which they developed in

secret during the reign of the Empire. Appearances and Examples: No known mention of any Tarentians or their homeworld exists in the Star Wars mythos. A single reference to a Tarentian Jedi Master by the name of “Uhu-Ku Ozier,” supposedly a professor of knowledge at the Jedi Academy on Ossus before its destruction, appears in the “List of Star Wars Planets” entry for Tarento in Wikipedia (but not anywhere in Wookieepedia) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_planets_(T-V). Tarento, its inhabitants, and their favorite son may all be fanon creations. Tarentian Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: None Amphibious: Members of this species cannot drown in water.

This humanoid alien race is from the planet of the same name, a world characterized by steppes and hilly regions and known for its rings and electromagnetic storms caused by dangerous ion-charged asteroid activity. The Tarnab themselves are characterized by a triangular skull, brownish skin and a crown of pale shaggy hair. They have a tapir-like snout and, at their temples, four short horns. Appearances and Examples: Senator Mot-Not Rab appears in “The Phantom Menace.” The Air Taxi driver Rayno Vaca appears in the deleted scenes from “The Phantom Menace.” Onyeth Canavar is a Tarnab seen roaming the alleys of Coruscant in “Attack of the Clones.” Tarnab Species Traits:

TAUNG The Taungs, later known as the Mandalorians, were a warlike Near-Human species with gray skin that dominated Coruscant thousands of years before the rise of HThe Taungs and the thirteen native Human nations, the Battalions of Zhell, eventually battled for control of Coruscant. Though the Zhell were nearly exterminated in a volcanic explosion, they managed to drive the Taungs from Coruscant. Due to the two years of darkness caused by the ash, the Taungs named themselves the Warriors of the Shadow (Dha Werda Verda). The Taungs fled to Roon, where they remained for thousands of years, until, under the leadership of the legendary Mandalore the First, the Taungs conquered another world which they renamed in honor of their leader, Mandalore. The species as a whole then also took the name, becoming the Mandalorians (or Mando'ade in their native Mando'a). Eventually, as the Mandalorian species became extinct, their name became associated

with a multi-species organization of warrior clans, who, regardless of species, adhered to the tenets of the Mandalorians. These Mandalorians, who were mostly baseline Humans, held the legacy of the Taungs in high regard. Taung Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: None Bonus feats: A taung gains Weapon Proficiency (advanced melee weapons) and Armor Proficiency (light) as bonus feats. If the taung gains Armor Proficiency (light) from its starting class, he may choose Armor Proficiency (Medium) instead. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Language: Mando’a Note: Taung are extinct, and GM discretion is advised regarding their use as a PC race in any era after 4000-3900 BBY. TCHUUKTHAI (also known as WHARLS)

Tchuukthai, also designated “Wharls” by bureaucrats of the Galactic Republic Bureau of Xenology, are sapient ceratopsian quadrupeds from the Unknown Regions. They have bristly fur on their shoulders and back, and natural armor plating covering their head, joints, and vital organs. Where they lack armor plates, their skin is thick and leathery, offering natural protection. Those that deal with other species generally wear clothing, while others do not. The Tchuukthai were considered semi-mythical non-sentient creatures for millennia due to their quadrupedal stature and physiological inability to speak Basic, a false impression the Tchuukthai encouraged, for the most part, with

displays of bestial ferocity that discouraged explorers and curious visitors. However, many of the species were possibly taken from their unknown homeworld as captive beasts as a result.

The Tchuukthai are generally quite thoughtful, and although they often put on displays of ferocity for outsiders, they generally disdain fighting. Some enjoy meeting outsiders while others prefer to be left alone. A number of famous love poems were composed by Tchuukthai, although they translated poorly into Basic. Tchuukthai Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Str 4, Dex –4 Thick hide: A tchuukthai’s scaly hide grants it a +5 natural armor bonus to Reflex defense. Quadruped: A tchuukthai gains a +5 bonus on checks to avoid being tripped or pushed, plus its speed is increased when running on all fours. Speed: 12 squares (quadruped), 4 squares (on two legs). Size: Large (–1 to Reflex Defense, –5 on Stealth checks, +5 on grapple checks, +5 to Damage Threshold, increased damage and weight allowance). Languages: Tchuukthai TEEK

Indigenous to Endor’s forest moon, Teek outwardly appear as a mixture of a monkey and a rodent. Teeks are very small, have long pointed ears surrounded by dirty white fur, black beady eyes and are constantly chattering. Like Ewoks, Teeks live in the forest and feed on plants and berries. They are also very curious and tend to pilfer and hoard anything that looks interesting to them. They usually leave other items, which, in their eyes, are of equal value, in the place of those that they steal (the actual owner usually sees this differently). Ewoks avoid Teeks and consider them to be a constant annoyance. Because of their fast metabolism, Teeks are move very quickly and are very nimble and hard to catch. Usually they wear ragged clothes and many pockets and bags dangle from their belts to hold the things that they acquire.

Appearances and Examples: A Teek, referred to only by his species name, appeared in the made-for-television feature film “Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.” Teek Species Traits: Ability Modifers: Dex +2, Wis –2 Bonus Feat: A teek gains Run as a bonus feat. Primitive: As per the ewok trait in the SECR. Speed: 12 squares. Size: Small (+1 to Reflex defense, +5 on Stealth checks, –5 on grapple checks, reduced damage and weight allowance). Language: Speak Teek (no written form of the language exists) TEEVAN

Hailing from the planet of the same name, Teevans are silver-skinned near-humans with highly-flexible bodies, allowing them to bend in ways that most humanoids find difficult or impossible.

Appearances and Examples: Tru Veld appeared in several of the “Jedi Quest” novels. Teevan Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Str –2, Dex +2

Flexible: A Teevan’s flexible body allows him to reroll any Acrobatics check and any Stealth check made to conceal an item. Conditional Bonus Feat: A Teevan trained in Acrobatics gains Skill Focus (Acrobatics) as a bonus feat. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Teevan & Basic THEELIN

Theelin are near-Humans notable for their artistic talent, their colorful appearance, and their unfortunate physiological history. The original appearance of the Theelin is uncertain, as almost all known "Theelin" are not full-blooded specimens, but hybrids. It is possible that some aspects of these individuals' appearances were not from their Theelin genes, but from other Human or near-Human ancestors; the differences could also be related to the very mutations that were plaguing the species. Most, however, had vividly colored hair and pale skin, sometimes with purple or reddish tones, and often mottled with colorful spots.

67

A series of mutations arose among their species during the last years of the Galactic Republic that led to genetic incompatibilities within their species, making it impossible to produce offspring. Even attempts to continue the species by cross-breeding with Humans and other near-Humans could not stop the slide towards extinction due to the high infant mortality rates from which such couplings suffered. Theelins inevitably dwindled in number — only a few million Theelin and Theelin hybrids remained by the time the Republic fell, and pure Theelin were extinct by 10 ABY. Some of their

greatest works were produced in these years, however, as an epitaph for a dying people. Theelin performers and artists created many of the Galactic Republic's greatest works of art. The Theelin Divas, an all-female religious order, were 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 were named "Diva" at birth, in hopes that they would develop the musical talent necessary to continue the traditions of the Diva order. Appearances and Examples: Rystáll Sant, a Human/Theelin hybrid with six small horns on the sides of her head was part of the Max Rebo Band in the Special Edition of the “Return of the Jedi.” Diva Funquita and the half-Human Diva Shaliqua were two slaves of Jabba the Hutt that appeared in his skybox during the pod race in “The Phantom Menace.” The three-fingered, half-Human outlaw tech Shug Ninx appeared in the “Dark Empire” comics and other Expanded Universe sources. Theelin Species Traits: Ability Modifer: Cha +2 Innate Charm: A theelin may reroll any Persuasion check, but must take the second check result.

Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Language: Theelin, Basic Special: Theelin are on the verge of extinction, and GM approval is required to play one. TINTINNA (also known as Tin-Tin Dwarves)

The Tintinna have fur covering their bodies that range in color from brown to light grey. Their hands and feet are uncovered by the fur, revealing pink skin, like most rodents. Also, their eyes are black. If a Tintinna is an albino (which is rare, but occurs) his/her eyes will be a very noticeable dark pink. These creatures are generally amicable and curious (beware their amazingly nimble fingers). Although their home planet Rinn has not progressed beyond the steam age of technology, they have no problem adapting to wonders of the galaxy due to their inquisitive nature.

average height: 0.9 meters average weight: 36 kilograms example names: Kit, Meekerdin-maa, Squeak Examples and Appearances: A Tintinna appears as a patron in Ackmena’s Cantina in the “Star Wars Holiday Special.” Tintinna Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: +2 Dex, -2 Str, -2 Con Conditional Bonus Feat: Tintinna trained in the skill Knowledge in any field automatically gain the Skill Focus feat for that specific knowledge field due to their incredible curiosity. This conditional bonus feat may only be gained once. Keen Senses: Reroll any Perception check, but result must be kept even if it is worse. Low-Light Vision: Tintinna homes are burrowed into the ground. Their species has adapted over the years to low-light conditions.

The t'landa Til are massive, quadrupedal, sentients distantly related to the Hutts. They possess long, thin, whipping tails and four trunk-like legs with huge, padded feet. They also have a tiny pair of arms with delicate hands, each of which boasted four supple fingers. Their faces resemble those of the Hutts save for a long, thick horn above their snout. Like the Hutts, their necks are short, humped—almost nonexistent. They have thick, oily, leathery skin, which hangs in creases, wrinkles, and loose folds. This skin is especially prominent below the neck, where it hangs so loose that it nearly hides the arms when they are folded against the chest.

hich

The t'landa Til also have two hearts and three stomachs, and can use their throat pouch to exhale air over the cilia to create sonic and subsonic vibrations with powerful effects on living beings. Male t'landa Til emit a frequency resonance that attracts females during mating season. This humming vibration is produced when air flows over the cilia in a male's inflated neck pouch. This vibration stimulates a female's pleasure centers. This ability is accompanied by the males' low-grade empathic ability, w

they use to project pleasant feelings toward females. The average t'landa Til stands about 2 to 2.5 meters tall. The t'landa Til are from the planet Varl, home of the Hutt species. Some also live on Nal Hutta, the adopted homeworld of the Hutts. Like their Hutt cousins, they are also immune to Force mind tricks. Despite being related to the Hutts, the t'landa Til are not as wealthy and powerful as their cousins. They are ambitious, however, and just as cowardly and short-sighted. t’landa Til Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Str +2, Dex –4, Con +4, Int –2, Wis –2, Cha –2 Natural weapons: A member of this species may make a gore attack (damage 2d6 plus twice the character’s Str modifier) instead of an unarmed attack. Gore attacks count as Large melee weapons. A character can apply Weapon Focus (and derived talents) to its own natural weapons. Force-resistant: A t’landa Til gains a +5 bonus to its Will defense against Force powers. Exultation: Once per day, a t’landa Til may spend a full-round action thrumming, stomping and humming to make a Persuasion check against the Will Defense of every living creature within 10 meters. If the check overcomes the Will Defense of a creature, it becomes blissful, unwilling to fight and Friendly towards the t’landa Til. Stability: A t’landa Til gains a +5 bonus to its Will Defense against Force powers. Damage Threshold: A t’landa Til has a +2 species bonus to Damage Threshold. This bonus stacks with the +5 bonus gained from the creature’s size. Cowardice: When faced with danger, a t’landa Til must make a DC 10 Wisdom check. If the check fails, the t’landa Til loses its turn cowering against the perceived danger. This effect is in addition to any fear effects the danger may cause by itself. Thick neck: A t’landa Til may not rise or turn its neck as easily as other species. When surrounded, a t’landa Til is considered flanked by all its opponents, except for the one standing directly in front of it (if any). Size: Large (–1 to Reflex Defense, –5 on Stealth checks, +5 on Grapple checks, +5 to Damage Threshold, increased carrying capacity and damage) Speed: 8 squares.

TOF Tofs are rotund green-skinned near-humans with a fondness for flashy, swashbuckling garb. The men typically sport beards. Their government is ruled by a hereditary monarch, a Crown Prince, who also acts as “Supreme Commander” of the military. Lesser nobles acquire lesser military ranks. Because the Crown does not pass to siblings in the event of a Prince’s death, the ruling monarch must sire an heir at all costs, lest warring factions spell the end of their decadent society. The bloodthirsty Tofs have an unyielding superiority complex, and are utterly devoid of morals and compassion. For millennia, the Tofs’ great space galleons and fighters, led by the flagship “Merriweather,” have long been the scourge of their sworn enemies the Nagai of Nagi. The Tofs finally conquered the Nagai more than 300 years before the Battle of Bakura. The Zeltron, as well as denizens of countless other systems in the deepest fringes of the Outer Rim and in the Unknown Regions, such as Trenwyth, have also been terrorized by the Tofs over the course of the Galaxy’s history.

Although initially believed to be threats from beyond the Galaxy, it was eventually discovered that both the Tof invaders and their sworn enemies, the Nagai, have proven to come from previously uncharted star clusters in huge areas of unexplored space within galactic borders. These patches of space, collectively called the Unknown Regions, have been host to a number of threats throughout the history of the Galaxy. Appearances and Examples: The Tofs, under the command of Crown Prince Sereno and his second-in-command Bargthron, first appeared in Marvel Comics’ Star Wars series when they invaded Zeltros somewhere between issues 103 and 105, and were defeated by a joint Rebel, Imperial and Nagai alliance in issue 107. All of those stories can be found in “Far, Far Away,” volume 7 of “Star Wars: A Long Time Ago...,” Dark Horse Comics’ trade paperback series reprinting the entire Marvel run.Green-skinned Near-Humans from the planet of the same name, in the Unknown Regions, the merciless Tof were devoid of morality, compassion or patience. They were ruled by monarchs who usually had military experience and were natural enemies of the Nagai. Both species were constantly at war. The Tofs had captured the Nagai home planet, resulting in the Nagai invasion of the known galaxy. The Tofs followed soon after, and were defeated when the Nagai joined forces with the Alliance of Free Planets. Ability Adjustments: None Impulsive fighter: A tof may reroll any Initiative check, but he must take the second result. Conditional Bonus Feat: If a tof has Weapon Proficiency (pistols), he gains Weapon Focus (pistols) as a bonus feat. Conditional Bonus Feat: If a tof is trained in Pilot, he gains Skill Focus (Pilot) as a bonus feat. Conditional Bonus Feat: If a tof is trained in Knowledge (tactics), he gains Skill Focus in this skill as a bonus feat. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Tof, Nagai & Basic

TRIFFIAN Hailing from the hot, tropical planet of Triffis, in orbit around the binary stars Triff Major and Triff Minor, Triffians are short, rotund humanoids with vaguely simian features. Their head and thick limbs are covered with coarse hair that ranges from black to cream-colored. Triffian skin tone varies from pale blue and white to green and brown. Two furred flaps, which aid in the regulation of heat when unfurled, protrude from the sides of their heads like oversized ears. Their hands have three digits each. The typical Triffian is easy-going, albeit almost arrogantly overconfident. They do not frighten easily, a trait which has brought more than one to a quick and messy end. Appearances and Examples: The Triffian Ebe Endocott pilots his podracer in competition against Anakin Skywalker in “The Phantom Menace.”

Triffian Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Str –2, Dex +2, Con +2, Wis –2 Aural flaps: A triffian’s fat reserves and bat-like ears give it the ability to regulate its temperature, granting a +5 bonus to Fortitude defense against temperature extremes. Darkvision: As per the SECR. Speed: 4 squares. Size: Small (+1 to Reflex defense, +5 on Stealth checks, –5 on grapple checks, reduced damage and weight allowance). Languages: Triffian, Basic TROIG

From a system beyond the Koornacht Cluster is found the technologically poor planet Pollilus, which was discovered relatively late in the history of the Old Republic, and is home to the Troig species. All Troigs have at least two heads (more than two is rare, and celebrated). The left head, or “Saprah,” is a separate entity from the right head, or “Saprin” – they just happen to share a body. Their interwoven nervous system also affords them a limited telepathy with one another. For instance, they can understand each other perfectly, even if one learns a different language. Because they share neural impulses, they are in effect always looking out for each other. Having two heads controlling two arms each also gives Troigs a certain facility with multi-tasking.

71

Troig Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Dex –2, Cha +2 Extra limbs: Members of this species have an extra set of manipulative limbs. They gain Dual Weapon Mastery I, Pin and Skill Focus (Climb) as conditional bonus feats (they must meet the corresponding prerequisites). All the benefits of these feats are lost if the

Character ever loses more than one limb (included one of its heads). Double being: A troig may reduce the penalties for making more than one attack by one step (–10 becomes –5, –5 becomes –2 and –2 becomes 0). Furthermore, a troig may use the aid another action to benefit itself, or use aid another twice on another character. These benefits are lost if the troig ever loses one of its heads. Self-coordination: At the beginning of its turn, as a free action, a troig may make a Persuasion check against its own Will defense. If the check succeeds, the Troig may take an extra swift action that round. If the check fails, the troig may take no more actions that round, as it spends its entire turn arguing with itself. Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Language: Troig & Basic

UNKNOWN TRIDACTYL SPECIES This ancient, long-lived species is characterized by its short stature – generally slightly over one-half of a meter tall; long, pointed ears; and greenish, bluish or purplish skin. Its hands sport only three digits each, and its toes range from three to five digits. Members of this species tend to be well-humored, and often childlike in a Zen-like way.

72

The syntax of their ancient language is a tortuous and archaic one. Even when a member of this species speaks other languages, including Basic, he often tends to apply this archaic syntax to it, creating a dialect some have characterized as sounding “backwards.” This tridactyl species is close-mouthed about its origins and homeworld,

although the ascension of Jedi Masters Yoda and Yaddle to the Jedi High Council have brought this secretive and highly spiritual species once more into Galactic attention. Sometimes mistaken (to their annoyance) for the mysterious Whills ("Feathers have I not. Vestigial wings, do you see on me?" Yoda replied to GNN news reporters), these diminutive humanoids can be found in many different career paths. Appearances and Examples: Jedi Master Yoda appears in pervasively throughout the “Star Wars” saga. Jedi Councilmember Yaddle appears in “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones.” (N.B.: LucasFilm has explicitly refused to identify this species by name. The novelization of the “Empire Strikes Back” refers to Yoda as a “gnome,” although it is clearly meant as a descriptive term and not, necessarily, an identification of the species. Many sources simply refer to it as the “unknown tridactyl species,” which may be colloquially referred to as “UTF,” “tridactyl” or “tridac.” In any event, GMs can always avoid the inevitable in-character question, “What exactly are you?” with the droll, evasive response that the name for the species is unpronounceable in any language but its own.) Homeworld: Unknown. Unknown Tridactyl Species Traits (by “DrowBattlemind”) Ability Modifiers: -2 Strength, +2 Dexterity. Surge: Once per day, all they may make a Jump check as if they had the Surge Force Power. (This is in addition to any other uses of Surge he or she may have). Non-Force Sensitive members of this species substitute a Jump check instead of a Use The Force check, while Force Sensitive members of this species make the check as normal. Speak Like Yoda, Do I: While not all members of this species speak in the same broken syntax that Yoda does, they may employ the same speech patterns to confuse their opponents. Doing so grants a member of this species a reroll on Deception checks for the purpose of confusing one's opponent, with the second roll being the decider. Small Size: As Small creatures, they gain a +1 size bonus to Reflex Defense and a +5 size bonus on Stealth checks. However, their lifting and carrying limits are 3/4ths of those of Medium creatures.

UTAI

One of two species native to the sinkhole world of Utapau, the stocky Utai toil as laborers in the sinkhole cities and caverns of their homeworld. Utai society exists side-by-side with that of the gaunt Pau'ans.

73lava flats of Vaathkree and incor

Where the Pau'ans are tall and thin, their Utai cousins are generally short and chubby. Utai have pale, hairless skin and large, oblong heads. Two glassy black eyes protrude on thick stalks from the Utai's face, which is otherwise unremarkable, aside from a small, puckered mouth. Utai have stubby, four-fingered hands and are capable workers and mechanics. An age ago, the Utai were the sole inhabitants of Utapau's plummeting sinkholes, living in dwellings nestled among the crevices of the rocky

walls. A planetary climate change forced Utapau's other primary species, the Pau'ans, to migrate underground. The two species formed a mutually beneficial society, merging their disparate civilizations and generally living in peace. A natural hierarchy formed, with the Pau'ans well placed as the rulers and politicians of the Utapaun cities, while the more hands-on Utai served as laborers and workers. Utai also serve as the keepers of the veractyl – extraordinarily fast lizard mounts native to Utapau – and over the years have learned how to tame the creatures. Appearances and Examples: Utai laborers serviced General Kenobi’s Jedi starfighter on Utapau in “Revenge of the Sith.” Utai Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Int +2, Cha –2 Mechanical aptitude: An utai may reroll any Mechanics check, but it must keep the second check result.

The Vaathkree evolved on the planet of the same name. They are covered in armored plates and appear to be made of stone and metal. Vaathkree are devoted traders and barterers. In fact, the name of their religion roughly translates into Basic as "The Deal." The Vaathkree have developed a complicated trade language for discussing business matters that non-Vaathkree find especially hard to decipher (which usually works in the Vaathkree's favor). The Vaathkree also invented a two-dimensional artform known as Flatsculp, similar in style to Paonidd Extrassa Art. Vaathkree have a long lifespan of 300 to 350 standard years, and a two-staged life cycle. They begin their lives as small, shapeless non-sentients called Stonesingers, roaming the porating bits of stone and metal into their body structure. Their metabolism allows them to

They also begin to develop rudimentary intelligence, and instructed by adult Vaathkree into the ways of The Deal. As they further mature and their minds develop, the young Stonesingers lose their fluidity, and must choose a particular form. Since the Vaathkree have been active in the Galactic Republic for several millennia, they usually adopt a roughly Human-sized humanoid form. Others adopt variant forms sto their chosen professions. Stonesingers mature to adulthood at about twenty years of age.

VULTAN Vultans are the near-Human natives of the planet Vulta with pale olive skin, two-toed feet, ridged structures on the upper torso, fin-like growths on the back, and a mass of fleshy, cartilaginous tendrils covering the top and back of their heads that are able to protect the skull against most forms of injury. Their white eyes sometimes lack pupils and irises. Male Vultans tend to have folds and ridges on their heads, while females tended to have fleshy strands radiating out from the head. This gender dimorphism impacts the Vultans' mating and courtship rituals. As a people, the Vultans are enamored with the latest trends and fashions, and are skill technicians.

The Vurk are primitive, nomads bearing the traits of both reptiles and amphibians. They hail from the watery world of Sembla where volcanic ridges warm the vast seas and are slowly forming into continents. Vurk have scales like reptiles, but the scales are moist, like an amphibian’s skin. Like amphibians, they reproduce by externally fertilizing the female’s soft eggs, laid in the water, but unlike amphibians the hatchlings do not progress from a larval state. Rather, like reptiles, young Verks look similar to adult Verks, only smaller. Vurk are generally grayish, greenish or bluish, but some appear reddish or yellowish. They evolved from creatures that crawled from the planet’s life-producing oceans millennia ago and the crown of their heads sports a sweeping, hadrosaur-like crest containing a resonating chamber-horn, allowing the Vurk to make deep, loud sounds once used to ward off predators, keep a herd together, or attract potential mates. Vurk commonly travel into the galaxy when they can get offworld, as their nomadic tendencies (ingrained into them on almost the genetic level) lead them to wander the stars and only occasionally return to their homeworld.

WOL CABASSHITE

Wol Cabasshites are mollusk-like sentients from the planet Wol Cabassh. Most of a Wol Cabasshite’s body is a digestive system. They lie on their “backs,” though they can attach themselves to ceilings and walls, and they propel themselves with their long tongues using mucus. There are two round eyes near the beginning of their tongue, one on each side of their body. Relatively unknown and mysterious to the galaxy as a whole, those who know Wol Cabasshites know them to have bizarre philosophies that are profound and multi-faceted. Wol Cabasshites are patient and think in a deep, abstract way that is very different from most species. Those only vaguely familiar with them typically assume that they are

unintelligent and insignificant due to their lack of technology and their odd appearance. Though nearly immobile, Wol Cabasshites are able to communicate. They understand their limitations, but are still able to function in galactic society despite them. Homeworld: Wol Cabassh. Example Names: Ghoel, Omo Bouri. Languages: Wol Cabasshites can only speak Wol Cabasshite, a complex language that involves the manipulation of their tongue and internal magnetic contours, forming a strange sound that sounds much like singing. Some are able to speak in this way directly into an individual’s neural system, giving many uninformed beings the impression that they can control minds or use telepathy. Adventurers: Wol Cabasshites rarely become adventurers, though those that do are usually seeking the thrill of seeing what the galaxy has to see. There have been Wol Cabasshite Jedi as well.

Wol Cabasshite Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: +2 Constitution, +4 Intelligence, -2 Strength, -8 Dexterity, -2 Charisma. Wol Cabasshites are durable and have incredible thought processes, but their bizarre ideas and way of communicating makes it difficult to interact with others, and they are very slow-moving. Great Fortitude: Wol Cabasshites gain a +2 species bonus to their Fortitude Defense, accounting for their ability to consume almost anything. Clinging: Wol Cabasshites can travel up walls or even on ceilings without falling at their normal speed. No Endurance check is needed, and a Wol Cabasshite can stay put in its current place without even being conscious. Unique Physiology: Wol Cabasshites are immune to vacuum effects as well as inhaled poisons and gasses. Temperature Resistance: Wol Cabasshites gain a +10 bonus to Fortitude Defense when resisting extreme hot or cold.

Prehensile Tongue: Wol Cabasshites can operate objects with their tongue. However, this is their only way of manipulating objects, and it is clumsy at best.

XAMSTER

Wroonians are blue-skinned,blue-haired near-Humans with yellow irises from planet Wroona in the Inner Rim. Wroonian clothing and tattoos denote the wealthy, fun-loving, and deeply spiritual nature of their culture. A well-traveled species, numerous Wroonian colonies appeared throughout the Galaxy, such as on Saleucami. Unverified claims suggest that they are related to the Chiss. Appearances and Examples: George Lucas made a one-time cameo appearance in “Revenge of the Sith” playing the Wroonian character Baron N. Papanoida.

Xamsters hail from the beautiful planet Xagobah in the Mid-Rim, a cloud-covered world shrouded in purplish mists caused by the incredible amount of spores and pollen found in its atmosphere given off by all manner of trees and fungus. Xamsters are short, bipedal reptiles with a hooked os tipped with a horny, beak-like point. Xamsters have long pointed ears that sweep back over an elongated crown spiked with tiny horns. Appearances and Examples: The Xamster Neva Kee pilots his podracer in competition against Anakin Skywalker in “The Phantom Menace.” Xampster Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Dex +2, Wis –2 Acute hearing: A Xamster may reroll Perception checks made to listen, but it must keep the second result.

X’TING

The insectile X’Ting were once the dominant, sentient race found on the planet Ord Cestus, which they referred to simply as Cestus. Standing nearly two meters in height, the average X'Ting is distinguished by its two pairs of arms. One pair is considered the primary arms, and are used to perform actions that required strength and control. The secondary arms are used for finer manipulation and menial activities. The body of an X'Ting is oval in shape, and is made up of carapace-covered segments. In the portions of the body uncovered by carapace, tufts of bristles provide a minimum of protection. A stinger is located at the base of their abdomen, which can inject a deadly poison into prey. Within the abdomen of an X'Ting are three stomachs, each with a specific purpose in the digestion of food.

X'Ting larvae are raised in pentagonal chambers, with one small chamber for each individual. The X'Ting are descended from a species of flying insects, as evidenced by their vestigial wings. The X'Ting society is based on a fairly rigid caste system that separates warriors from diggers and chewers from workers. This system seems to be in place to counteract the most unusual aspect of the species – the gender of the adult X'Ting cycles between male and female every three years. During the peak periods of each cycle, X'Ting experience intense hormonal surges that signal the need to reproduce. Interestingly, in addition to gender changes, male and female forms of X'Ting are distinctly different. Males tend to be smaller although more lethal in combat, while the females are larger and more intimidating. The history of the X'Ting people is hidden in secrets, since they want desperately to maintain their own existence. Many years before the Clone Wars, the X'Ting took control of Cestus after defeating the Spider People in a great war. With their new-found independence, the X'Ting decided to allow the Old Republic to establish a prison complex on Cestus, hoping to gain a place in the galactic community. The hive queen negotiated a deal with the politicians on Coruscant, and the prison facilities were constructed. The unexpected outcome of all this was the formation of the droid manufacturing firm Cestus Cybernetics, which virtually enslaved the X'Ting people. Shortly after the prison was completed, plagues began to destroy parts of the X'Ting society. Many felt that the plagues had been set loose by the offworlders who came to the planet as prisoners. It was during this period of strife, some 150 years before the Clone Wars, that a Jedi Knight was believed to have arrived on Ord Cestus and rallied the X'Ting, giving them strength and encouragement to save themselves against all odds. A so-called Great Plague then decimated the X'Ting about 100 years before the Clone Wars, reducing the millions of X'Ting to mere hundreds and destroying the royal family. Only a handful of eggs from the queen remained, which were hidden beneath the planet's surface behind an extensive security system, thereby ensuring the survival of the royal line. In the early history of Ord Cestus, the X'Ting maintained a symbiont circle with the Zeetsa, who produce the fluid known as Lifemilk for the X’Ting. The Lifemilk sustained the X'Ting, who produced food for the Zeetsa. Appearances and Examples: In the novel “The Cestus Deception” by Stephen Barnes, G'Mai Duris served as regent of the X’Ting during the height of the Clone Wars. X’Ting Species Traits (by RobShanti): Ability Modifiers: -2 Strength (when female only), -2 Con (when male only; N.B.: Hit Points gained or lost via Constitution bonuses or penalties apply retroactively. In other words, when an X’Ting turns male, he loses not only 2 points of Constitution, but also all the bonus hit points gained through Level 1 from his Con bonus. These CON points and Hit Points return when he turns female.) Extra limbs: Members of this species have an extra set of manipulative limbs. They gain Dual Weapon Mastery II, Pin, Skill Focus (Climb) and Triple Attack as conditional bonus feats (they must meet the corresponding prerequisites). All the benefits of these feats are lost if the Character ever loses more than one limb. Stinger: X’Ting have a stinger in the abdomen which can inflict 1d6 points of damage as a natural unarmed attack.

79

Venom: An X’Ting may inject a neurotoxic poison into a target that it stings with its stinger. The poison makes an attack roll at 1d20+10 vs. the target's Fortitude Defense; if successful, the target moves -1 persistent step along the condition track. A target moved to the end of the condition track by the poison falls into a coma and cannot be revived until the poison is cured. An X’Ting is immune to its own poison. Healing Restriction: Although the X’Ting are capable of feeding on a variety of foods for basic sustenance, the comestible substance referred to as “Lifemilk,” produced as a biological byproduct by the Zeetsa, is of particular importance to X’Ting physiology. Without it, an X’Ting cannot heal damage normally. When an X’Ting takes damage, he must consume a quantity of “Lifemilk” in order to begin healing. Until this precondition is met, the X’Ting will not heal and will remain permanently injured. Medium-sized: As Medium-sized creatures, X’Ting have no special bonuses or penalties due to size.

All the benefits of these feats are lost if the character ever loses more than one limb. Natural armor: A member of this species gains a +2 armor bonus to its Reflex defense. Poison stinger: As a standard action, an x’ting may make a stinger attack against a single living target. If the attack hits, the target suffers damage equal to 1d6+double the X’ting’s Str bonus. If the attack also equals or surpasses the target’s Fortitude defense, the victim goes down 1 persistent step in the Condition Track. Unpleasant hormones: A member of this species has a -2 penalty in all Persuasion checks made to improve a non-X’ting’s attitude. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Languages: X’ting & Basic

YAKA

The Yaka are a brutish, thickly built species of Near-Human cyborgs hailing from the system of the same name. Centuries before the rise of the Galactic Empire, the neighboring Arkanians, known for their genetic experiments, implanted the naturally dim-witted race with cybernetic implants. The Arkanians saw this effort as benefiting the brutes, while the Galaxy at large questioned the ethical implications of such an act. For better or worse, the alterations the Yaka received improved their intelligence, but stripped them of all emotion.

80

Appearances and Examples: Luwingo, a Yaka smuggler with a tragic past, appeared in the Dark Horse “Dark Empire” comics. Yaka Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Str +2, Int +2, Cha –4 Unemotional: A yaka has a +5 bonus to his Will Defense against effects tarrgeting emotions, such as Mind Trick or a Sith’s Temptation ability. He also gains a +5 bonus on Deception checks made to hide emotions. Conversely, he suffers a –5 penalty on Perception checks made to detect the emotions of another creature.

Conditional Bonus Feat: If a yaka is trained in Mechanics or Use Computer, he gains Skill Focus in these skills as a bonus feat. Cybernetic implants: A yaka has a –5 penalty on all Use the Force checks.

Hailing from the planet Yamr, Yam’rii are 2-meter-tall, mantis-like, carnivorous insectoids with multi-faceted eyes. Though their appearance may look non-threatening, the Yam’rii posses incredible strength. Even though their home planet Yamr is nearly inhabitable to most races, the Yam’rii have constructed a large industrialized society, basing most of their economy on technology.

81

Yam’rii typically grow to approximately 2 meters in height, though their bodies remain relatively slim all their lives. The Yam’rii are known for their great stealth, which is impressive for their size. Yam’rii are quick-tempered and are known to go on frenzies fueled by their anger. They are meat-eaters by nature, and develop their hunting methods on

Yamr from youth. Eggs are also a supreme delicacy for the Yam’rii race. Yam'rii do not possess the necessary physiological apparatus to speak Basic. Although they may learn other languages for purposes of understanding the speech of others, they are only capable of verbalizing their own and other, similar insectoid langages. Appearances and Examples: Kitik Keed’kak was a Yam’rii female who appeared in the Cantina scene of “A New Hope.” Yam’rii Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Str +2, Con –2 Natural weapon: Members of this species may make a claw attack (base damage 1d6 plus the character’s Str modifier) instead of an unarmed attack, or as an off-hand attack. A yam’rii’s claw attacks count as light melee weapons. A character can apply Weapon Focus (and derived talents) to its own natural weapons. Natural mimetism: A yam’rii may take 10 on any Stealth check made to avoid notice in heavily forested areas. Conditional bonus feat: A yam’rii trained in Mechanics gains Skill Focus (Mechanics) as a bonus feat Speed: 6 squares. Size: Medium. Languages: Yam’rii and Understand Basic Y'BITH

Millions of years ago, sentience took root among the ancient forerunners of the Bith species on Clak'dor VII. As the Bith evolved, they developed impressive cities in the mountains and jungles of their world. The capital city of Weogar and the domed city of Nozho stood for centuries as testament to the achievement of the proto-Bith culture, but relations between the cities soured, and they developed a fierce rivalry. About three hundred years ago, the tensions boiled over as a dispute over a star drive patent ignited in a civil war. When the war finally ended, Clak'dor VII's biosphere was ruined. A biological attack launched at Nozho had shattered the city, mutating its populace, and the surrounding wildlife. Most Nozho citizens were killed outright, but many who survived developed mutagenic irregularities that soon led to the creation of a subspecies of Bith. The Y'bith -- which translates as "Ghost Bith," eventually left the hermetically sealed cities that were built amid the ruins, and

attempted to establish a permanent population on Clak'dor IV, where they eventually founded the city of New Nozho. The bio-engineering geniuses among the Y'bith stabilized much of the mutation's worst effects, but the populace was forced to adapt to their newly diminished eyesight, stronger hands and feet, ductile mouth structures, sensitive skin and thicker bones. The Y'bith have been tolerated by the Bith, though not openly accepted by mainstream Bith culture. Though some claim residual guilt over the bombings that created the Y'bith as the cause of Bith apprehension, the Bith themselves pragmatically deny such reasons. They cite the Y'bith's volatile biochemistry that triggers bouts of violence and aggression as reason enough to keep their distance. The Y'bith have been working to gain acceptance as members of the galactic community, with New Nozho becoming a notable trade port. Over the course of generations, the Y'bith have spread to other worlds, forming a notable minority presence on Nar Shaddaa and Coruscant, where they aided the rebuilding efforts following the Yuuzhan Vong war. The Y'bith see the story of their people as one of success, and are determined to continue working tirelessly until the whole galaxy, including their Bith cousins, agree. Appearances and Examples: A Y’bith appears in Ackmena’s Cantina in the “Star Wars Holiday Special.” Y’bith Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: Str +2, Con –2, Int +2, Wis –2 Scent: As per the ewok trait. Trance: Same as the bith ability. Rage: Same as the wookiee ability. Poor eyesight: Besides a normal bith’s range penalties, y’bith suffer a –5 penalty on all Perception checks requiring eyesight. Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares. Language: Bith & Basic YUZZUM

82

Hailing from the forest moon of Endor, and not to be confused with the “Yuzzem” of Ragna III (from “Splinter of the Mind’s Eye,” which appear in the Ultimate Alien Anthology), a typical Yuzzum is somewhat difficult to characterize. The average size of the species is highly variable (though most stand quite tall on thin, spindle-like legs). The Yuzzum’s wide mouths are filled sometimes with sharp fangs, and sometimes blunt teeth. Some Yuzzum have thick, wooly coats, while others possess short fur. A Yuzzum's coat is typically yellowish or tan, but blue-coated Yuzzums also exist. As a result “Yuzzum” refers to this class of migratory, fur bearing mammals found on Endor. They are primitive hunter/gatherers and their long legs are used to keep their

heads just barely above the savanna grasses of the Dragon’s Pelt, where the Yuzzum forage and hunt for the rodent-like ruggers, the species’ preferred food, on the forest floor. Their reflective eyes seem to glow. They ride on large, three-meter-tall, spider-like rakazzak beasts. Yuzzums’ preferred weapons are spears or setting traps. They lack industrial technology, are more savage than Ewoks and are curious and cunning. Yuzzum have a fair amount of intelligence, but seem incapable of understanding other lifeforms. Nevertheless, they are mindful and get along with outsiders who respect their beliefs. They have been taken off the moon and sold as pets, however, but, being sapient, they tend not to accept such status. The Yuzzum have a musical language characterized by haunting, singing cries, and which is unpronounceable by non-Yuzzum and has no written form. Consequently, they have found employment offworld as singers. Appearances and Examples: The Yuzzum with the stage name “Joh Yowzah” appeared as a singer in Max Rebo’s band in

the Special Edition version of “Return of the Jedi.” Some particularly nasty blue-coated Yuzzum are featured in the animated “Ewoks” series. Yuzzum Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: +2 Dex, -2 Str May reroll Survival but must keep the second roll even if it is worse. Moving Singing Voice: Yuzzem may reroll persuasion when performing with song. Low-light vision. Primitive: As the Ewok trait. Size: Medium.

The Zeetsa are one of the primary sentient races that evolved on the planet Ord Cestus, populated also by the insectoid X'Ting and the so-called “Spider People.” The Zeetsa resemble swollen, translucent-blue spheres with stubby limbs used for grasping, but not for ambulation, which is accomplished by rThe translucent, bluish skin of a Zeetsa contains a network of veins and internal organs visible beneath its surface. The Zeetsa’s outer membrane is malleableand the Zeetsa can shape it, to a limited extent, to create a temporary vits surface that can roughly approximate the countenance of another species, but not nearly close enough to actually impersonate that species. In the earlyhistory of Ord Cestus, the X'Ting depended on the Zeetsa to produce the fluid known as Lifemilk. The Lifemilk sustained the X'Ting, who produced food for theZeetsa. Over time, many Zeetsa became willful and stubborn, and chose to

segregate themselves from the X'Ting. Many individuals chose to remain, however, ensuring that their symbiont circle remained unbroken. Appearances and Examples: In the novel “The Cestus Deception” by Stephen Barnes, the Zeetsa Shar Shar served as an assistant to X’Ting regent G'Mai Duris, during the height of the Clone Wars; the Zeetsa named Guntar worked as a drug manufacturer for the X’Ting gangster Trillot, who removed Guntar’s olefactory organs as punishment for secretly cutting his products with Xyathone. Zeetsa Species Traits: Ability Modifiers: +2 Charisma, +2 Constitution, -2 Strength, -2 Dex Malleable: The Zeetsa have a boneless structure which allows them to squeeze through very small openings. A Zeetsa can pass through any opening equivalent to 15 square centimeters or any variant thereof (28 cm x 3 cm, 20 cm x 10 cm, etc.). Moving this way can be performed only at half normal speed, and if attacked while squeezing through a small opening, the Zeetsa cannot use its Dexterity bonus to Defense. Bounce-by Attack: During combat, a Zeetsa can take a move action to bounce over an opponent with a jump check at DC 15 for medium sized opponents (+ or - 5 for each size category), and another partial action at any time during the bounce, but may not take a second move action during a round in which the Zeetsa is making the bounce attack. Size: As small creatures, Bimm gain a +1 size bonus to their Reflex Defense and a +5 size bonus on Stealth checks. However, their lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of Medium characters. Base Speed: 8 squares Language(s): Zeetsa, X’Ting, and Basic
