CS Guide: Species

"In our efforts, we have learned that life is not rare. Rather, given a chance, life will occur. It is tenacious, aggressive—it seems to crave existence."

―Tem Eliss, sentientologist

Species in Star Wars are a big deal. Their existence is something that separates the Lore from other Science Fiction, where even if a culture is only mentioned once, people will flock to try and create characters from it. Each Species has something unique about them, from being able to regenerate limbs, to being able to breathe underwater! It’s fascinating, really, but also creates a struggle for us to incorporate into a balanced system. And on top of that, we don’t use dice rolls or algorithms for our system and game. So, “balancing” becomes subjective to the ones in charge of organizing and maintaining the system.

Wookiees: An Example

Let's take Wookiees for example. As you can see below in their entry, Wookiees are extremely powerful. However, it never really made sense to say that ALL Wookiees got a “+1” to Might. +1 to Might becomes relative to...what exactly? Average Human strength? How do we even? (On a scale of 1-11, you can’t even). Instead, you see that the language focuses more on “feats” (oohh, that’s why they call them that??) of strength like holding open a blast door.

With that strength and size, of course, comes the sour fact that you can’t really fit a Wookiee in your secret compartment in the cargo hold. They are also kind of hard to get to blend in with even a crowd of mixed humanoids. This is made apparent with the second species feat, and provides a balance to the merit. You will see this present in every Species.

Policies

To view the formal policy used for adding Species to the Character Sheet System, please see the Species Approval Policy.

Grandfather Clause

Per Grand Master Pravus, select Species that are currently in the system have been flagged with a dark red Grandfathered tag. These tags indicate Species that are being honored for use in Character Sheets 2.0 for existing characters that existed prior to the launch of Character Sheet 2.0 (2015-08-09). This means that while members who had previously been playing a race like Miraluka can continue to do so, they will not be available to new characters being created.

Going forward, only races that appear in Star Wars Canon will be incorporated or added. Each new race must go through the Voice Staff and be approved before being added in.

Hybrids

Hybrid species are not very common, but have been known to appear in Canon content. For example, Humans and Twi'leks have born hybrid children in the Clone Wars animated series. Currently, we have very specific requirements for the treatment of Hybrid combinations in our system. The most notable requirement is for the desired races to be of similar origin, that means Reptilian Humanoids cannot mate with Mammalian Humanoids.

The way we handle this is that a Hybrid member picks a dominant Species as their selected Species on the Character Creation Tool. Then, in their Physical Description Field, they can elaborate on the cosmetic differences their character is afforded based on the notable traits of their secondary Species.

You can see an example of a half-Human, half-Chiss NPC Harry West's character sheet.

For more specific details for incorporating a Hybrid selection for your character, refer to the Species section of the Character Sheet Approval Guidelines.

In short:

• A hybrid Species will only get Feats from their Primary Species. They do not get Feats of the Secondary.
• A hybrid Species can have cosmetic elements of their Secondary Species worked into their Physical Description.
• Reptiles can't mate with Mammals

Species

Aleena

Aleena
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Small stature Naturally curious Love adventure Wide mouth Large eyes Fast metabolism	Description: Aleena were short, reptilian bipeds with large eyes and wide mouths full of small, sharp teeth. Aleena's bodies were long compared to their short arms and stubby legs. They possessed exceptional reflexes as well as a fast metabolism which allowed them to convert food into energy very rapidly in order to escape predators on their harsh home planet.
Average Height: 0.8 meters	Languages: Aleena Basic
Unique Species Feat: Bite Size Due to {{gender:his,her}} small form, {{member}} is able to fit or stow away into smaller areas and confined spaces. While this makes {{gender:him,her}} better suited towards scouting and moving about unseen, {{gender:his,her}} body mass makes {{gender:him,her}} subject to the harsh realities of physics when utilizing their Might against non-small form species, or utilizing their Endurance to cover the same distances or carry out tasks that require physical stamina.
Unique Species Feat: Nine Lives Aleena are known to be easily excitable, and will often rush into danger before truly knowing the full scope of it. Fortunately, they have evolved to possess heightened-reflexes in their spry physiology. {{member}} is often able to avoid impending physical harm thanks to {{gender:his,her}} elevated reaction time, even if it is {{gender:his,her}} own fault for being in danger in the first place.

Bothan

Bothan
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Mood-sensitive fur Craves intrigue and subterfuge Tapered pointed ears	Description: Bothans were furry mammalian anthropoids, about 1.5 meters tall. Hailing from Bothawui and several colonies, Bothans differed in facial appearance and body structure with canine, feline, and equine features. They were known for being master politicians and spies, craving intrigue and subterfuge.
Average Height: 1.4 to 1.5 meters	Languages: Basic Bothese
Unique Species Feat: Sabaac Face Bothan culture has evolved around the species’ penchant for politics and social manipulation. Having been born into that culture, {{member}} is able to use {{gender:his,her}} Subterfuge to appear and remain unrattled during potentially sensitive situations that involve deception or manipulation.
Unique Species Feat: Bad Reputation The same traits that make Bothans excellent diplomats and spies also result in a rather untrustworthy image for members of the species. Placing their personal interests above all others, Bothans are known for adhering to the “Bothan Way” to the point of backstabbing and beguiling anyone to get what they desire. Despite {{member}}’s best intentions, {{gender:he,she}} is often accused of sharing this generalization and can be labeled as untrustworthy.

Chiss

Chiss
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Blue skin Glowing red eyes Above-average night vision Rapid maturity	Description: The Chiss were a tall, blue-skinned Near-Human civilization from the planet Csilla in the Unknown Regions.
Average Height: 1.6 to 2.1 meters	Languages: Basic Cheunh
Unique Species Feat: Sore Thumbs As the Chiss are fairly isolationist in nature, the sighting of one is a fairly rare occurrence. {{member}}’s telltale blue skin and red eyes are seen as exotic qualities to most other species. Thus, {{member}} finds increased difficulty with blending into crowds.
Unique Species Feat: Wise Beyond Years Members of the Chiss species mature at a faster rate in their society. Disciplined under a well-structured upbringing, {{member}} recognizes the value of propriety and self-control better than most species. As a result of intense schooling, {{member}} has a habit of simply knowing things about the galaxy and its occupants that others might have overlooked, and can adapt to new concepts outside of the norm at a quicker rate.

Clawdite

Clawdite
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Shape shifting ability Green to yellow skin hues Yellow slitted eyes	Description: Clawdites were a humanoid sentient species native to the planet of Zolan. They were one of the few shape-shifting species in the galaxy, and were sometimes referred to as Changelings.
Average Height: 1.6 to 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic Clawdite
Unique Species Feat: Genetic Manipulation Genetic manipulation has gifted the Clawdite species with the extremely rare ability to change their appearance. Mimicking the appearance of similarly-shaped species, {{member}} can change the color and texture of {{gender:his,her}} skin and eyes to appear nearly indistinguishable from the target species. However, the Clawdite’s shifting abilities cause great discomfort and, as a result, intense concentration is required to maintain the disguise.
Unique Species Feat: Pragmatic Clawdites are a solitary species who prefer isolation and shun the company of others unless it is to their benefit. {{member}} holds pragmatic views of the galaxy, and is often mistrustful of others and suspicious of their motives. The stigma is not mutually exclusive, though: other species are untrusting of the shapeshifters.

Devaronian

Devaronian
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Red, brown, green or white skin Long pointed ears Two horns (male) Bald (male) Hair (female) Two dark circles on forehead (female)	Description: Devaronians are a sentient species from the planet Devaron. They exhibit great sexual dimorphism, with the males being bald and sporting horns, and the hornless females displaying a full head of hair.
Average Height: 1.9 meters	Languages: Basic Devaronese
Unique Species Feat: Pick Your Poison Devaronians possess silver-based blood type with two livers filtering out most toxins. This makes {{member}} more resistant to toxins and poisons that are inflicted through the bloodstream, and allows {{gender:him,her}} to consume foodstuffs that are otherwise potent to other species.
Unique Species Feat: The Face You Can't Hide Devaronians are recognizable as a dimorphic species within the galaxy, the differences between their genders more distinct than simple genetics. The horned, bald males stand out in a crowd, while the females still have vestigial bumps that give them away. As a result, it is difficult for {{member}} to disguise {{gender:himself,herself}} in terms of appearance and even more so when trying to pose as the opposite gender.
	(Back to Top)

Duros

Duros
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Gifted explorers Adventurous and socially gregarious Blue-green skin Red eyes Long, thin and noseless faces	Description: The Duros were a species of teal-skinned, reptilian humanoids who were gifted explorers, and often became spacers or traders.
Average Height: 1.7 to 2.2 meters	Languages: Basic Durese
Unique Species Feat: Duro The Explorer Like all Duros, {{member}} is a gifted space explorer. This makes it easier for {{gender:him,her}} to calculate hyperspace routes, though without special training {{gender:he,she}} would still need to rely on a droid or computer to make all the necessary calculations correctly.
Unique Species Feat: Adventure Time! {{member}} is more likely to be adventurous and gregarious due to {{gender:his,her}} cultural heritage as a Duros. While this makes {{member}} a more exciting person to be around, it can sometimes get {{member}} and {{gender:his,her}} friends into trouble. That’s how you know it’s an adventure.
	(Back to Top)

Ewok

Ewok
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Furry Short Acute sense of smell	Description: Ewoks are a diminutive, furry, bipedal species from the forest moon of Endor. Their fur ranges from shades of white and brown to black, and they have two fingers and an opposable thumb. They are omnivores with an acute sense of smell, and are more comfortable in primitive forest environments than modern locales. Although they can learn to understand other languages, like Galactic Basic, they are physically unable to speak them.
Average Height: 1 meter	Languages: Basic Ewokese
Unique Species Feat: Yub Nub! Boasting a culture of arboreal warriors who prize courage and success, Ewoks are dauntless by nature. Through sheer force of will, {{member}} has a penchant for succeeding in situations that would overwhelm or terrify other beings.
Unique Species Feat: Pint Size Due to {{gender:his,her}} small form, {{member}} is able to fit or stow away into smaller areas and confined spaces. However, this also means that body mass makes {{gender:him,her}} subject to the harsh realities of physics when utilizing {{gender:his,her}} Might against non-small form Species. This also holds true for utilizing {{gender:his,her}} Endurance to cover the same distances as a non-small Species, or when carrying out tasks that require physical stamina.
	(Back to Top)

Falleen

Falleen
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Cold-blooded (green) Long lives - avg. 250 years Seductive pheromones Facial and spine ridges Changing skin color	Description: The Falleen were the indigenous reptilian sentient species of the planet Falleen.
Average Height: 1.4 to 1.6 meters	Languages: Basic Falleen
Unique Species Feat: Simply Irresistible {{member}} can utilize their natural pheromones to make {{gender:him,her}} appear irresistible to any gender of any species. When coupled with {{gender:his,her}} exotic appearance, {{member}} can more easily ply Manipulation on those who are unprepared.
Unique Species Feat: Superior By Nature The Falleen, as a culture, respect discipline and self-control above all else. When coupled with their own demeanor in comparison to that of more openly passionate races, {{member}} considers {{gender:himself,herself}} to be unquestionably superior to the other races of the galaxy. In turn, this demeanor will manifest itself as arrogance when interacting with most other species.
	(Back to Top)

Gand

Gand
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Two subspecies - Breathers or Lungless Exoskeleton Can see into the ultraviolet spectrum Can regrow lost limbs Three fingered hands	Description: The Gand were a sentient species of humanoids that xenobiologists believed to have evolved from an insect genus that inhabited the ammonia-gas planet of Gand. Several physical varieties of the species existed, differing from one another in the structure of the head and the texture and color of the exoskeleton
Average Height: 1.4 to 1.6 meters	Languages: Basic Gand
Unique Species Feat: This One Gand Gand, as a species, are humble and thus refer to themselves in the third person, earning the right to use first-person pronouns after several feats and accomplishments. As a result, {{member}} finds the first-person form of address to be arrogant, and often downplays {{gender:his,her}} personal achievements.
Unique Species Feat: Chitin Mail {{member}} possesses a chitinous exoskeleton that will protect {{gender:him,her}} from significant harm. While the exoskeleton remains intact, it is resistant to blunt and bladed weaponry, but will crack under repeated blows.
	(Back to Top)

Gungan

Gungan
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Amphibious Distinctive pronunciation of basic Extendable tongues Long ears Short lives - avg. 65 years	Description: Gungans were a species of amphibious humanoids that hailed from the oceans of Naboo. They came from a largely isolationist society that relied on ‘growing’ organic technology and working with animals.
Average Height: 1.9 meters	Languages: Gungan Basic
Unique Species Feat: These Legs Were Made For Walkin’ As a Gungan, {{member}} has long legs with strong muscles, resulting in longer strides and greater propulsion underwater. Coupled with {{gender:his,her}} amphibious nature, this makes {{gender:him,her}} a natural runner and jumper, and a fast and agile swimmer. When exposed to dry or desert conditions for too long, however, {{gender:his,her}} health and mood will suffer.
Unique Species Feat: A Pet In Need Gungan society, particularly their military, makes heavy use of animals as mounts and beasts of burden. As a result, {{member}} has a natural affinity for working with animals and {{gender:he,she}} finds it easier to employ suitable animals as mounts and beasts of burden.

Human

Human
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Pale to dark brown skin tones Wide spectrum of hair color Wide spectrum of eye color	Description: Humans, taxonomically referred to as Homo sapiens, were the galaxy's most numerous and politically dominant sentient species with millions of major and minor colonies galaxy-wide. Believed to have originated on the galactic capital of Coruscant, they could be found anywhere, engaged in many different pursuits.
Average Height: 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic
Unique Species Feat: Just Another Face Humans are the most common species in most of the known galaxy, and can thus blend into crowds of other Humans seamlessly. While their own distinctive individual qualities such as hair color and height can set them apart, {{member}} is otherwise just another mug in a sea of faces.
Unique Species Feat: Eye Of The Tiger As a Human, {{member}} can conform to new environments with relative ease. Not possessing traits such as scales, gills or fur, {{member}} is nonetheless adaptable to either cold or warm climates with minimal preparation. This makes most members of the Human species best-suited for the life of a colonist or traveller.

Iktotchi

Iktotchi
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Tough skin Regenerative horns Innate telepathy and precognition Large hands Stoic	Description: The Iktotchi were a species of horned humanoids that hailed from the harsh, windy moon of Iktotch. They were a stoic species that possessed a natural affinity for precognitive dreams and telepathy.
Average Height: 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic Iktotchese
Unique Species Feat: Only When I Dream All Iktotchi, including {{member}}, may experience precognitive dreams while they sleep. This precognitive ability is clearer on the Iktotchi homeworld, but elsewhere in the galaxy they are often vague, sometimes difficult to interpret and occasionally unhelpful without proper training in the Force. In addition to gaining insights with {{gender:his,her}} Farsight power through meditation, {{member}} can also use {{gender:his,her}} Farsight power while asleep.
Unique Species Feat: No Trace Of A Sound Iktotchi possess a natural affinity for Telepathy, allowing {{member}} to communicate telepathically with another being, however {{gender:he,she}} must maintain direct eye contact in order to do so unless {{gender:he,she}} has been properly trained in the ways of the Force.

Ithorian

Ithorian
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Long, curving neck T-shaped head Two mouths Four throats	Description: The Ithorian were a species of mammalian herbivores native to the planet Ithor.

Unique Species Feat: Make Me Wanna Shout {{member}} can utilize {{gender:his,her}} larger bodies to store and then expel air out of {{gender:his,her}} throat sack with a concussive "scream" that can shatter non-reinforced transparisteel and knock back opponents at point-black range.
Unique Species Feat: Slow On The Draw {{member}}'s large stature and form bears the burden of slower reflexes and less coordination relative to {{gender:his,her}} Athletics skill.
	(Back to Top)

Kaleesh

Kaleesh
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Reddish brown, scaly skin Four digit hands with two opposable thumbs Almost always wear masks Thermal pits under eyes Superior olfactory senses	Description: The Kaleesh were reptilian humanoids that hailed from the planet Kalee.

Unique Species Feat: Warm Reception Thanks to the thermal pits under {{gender:his,her}} eyes, {{member}} can sense the infrared spectrum, allowing {{gender:him,her}} to ‘see’ in the dark by observing and detecting changes in and the presence of heat.
Unique Species Feat: Rattlesnake Due to their insular and war-like nature, Kaleesh often do not see eye to eye with the more peaceful species of the galaxy. This makes it more challenging for {{member}} to conduct diplomatic relations and can lead to difficulty in social settings.
	(Back to Top)

Kaminoan

Kaminoan
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Pale skin in tones of white, purple or blue Tall, spindly, slender build, uniform between genders Elongated necks Large eyes with large black sclera and radiant irises Males have head-crests, while females are entirely bald	Description: Kaminoans were slender, towering, pale-skinned humanoids whose oblong heads sat atop elongated neck bones that allowed them limited flexibility. They had two large, almond-shaped black eyes with white pupils. Male Kaminoans had fin-like crests atop their heads, while females were completely bald and wore unique head crescents.
Average Height: 2.2 meters	Languages: Basic Kaminoan
Unique Species Feat: Amoral Nature Being of a society that engineers natural processes rather than simply experiencing them, Kaminoans don't hold to the common morals of society. This allows {{member}} to more generally consider all options, even those that might be unsavory to others, without hesitation.
Unique Species Feat: Genetic Template Having identified and standardized their genetic template ages ago, there is very little physical variance between two Kaminoans. This often makes it difficult for {{member}} to differentiate {{gender:himself,herself}} from other Kaminoans, which can be off-putting to other species. This is further magnified as efforts to stand out as an individual are actively discouraged in Kaminoan culture.

Kel Dor

Kel Dor
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Four-fingered hands Can survive in a vacuum Black/silver eyes Peach to crimson skin Extra-sensory organs with small tusks	Description: The Kel Dorians were a species hailing from Dorin. Naturally breathing helium and Dorin gas, they wear breathing masks that cover their eyes and nostrils.
Average Height: 1.4 to 2.0 meters	Languages: Basic Kel Dor
Unique Species Feat: I Will Survive By utilizing {{gender:his,her}} unique physiology and antiox breathing mask, {{member}} is capable of surviving in the hazardous conditions of a complete vacuum for several minutes. However, evolution in a unique atmosphere comprised of Dorin gas and helium prevents members of the Kel Dor species from breathing unaided in oxygen-rich atmospheres.
Unique Species Feat: A World Of Absolutes The Kel Dor society is one known for its hospitality, but also its simplistic approach to matters of justice. To {{member}}, there is no middle ground on any moral issue, causing {{gender:him,her}} to only see matters in black and white. Regardless of intent, only the resulting actions fall under the scope of judgement.

Kiffar

Kiffar
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Varied skin hues Distinct facial markings	Description: The Kiffar are a species of Near-Humans from the planet Kiffu. As such, they were sometimes mistakenly called "Kiffu."

Lasat

Lasat
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Gray or purple skin Dark purple hair Impressive height Green eyes Digitigrade legs, prehensile toes, large finger pads	Description: Lasats were a humanoid sentient species native to the Outer Rim world of Lasan, though the species originated from the Wild Space planet Lira San.
Average Height: 2.1 meters	Languages: Basic Lasat
Unique Species Feat: The Child, The Warrior, The Fool {{member}} has muscular digitigrade legs, large finger pads and prehensile toes. These genetic gifts make running, jumping and climbing easier for {{gender:him,her}} and also have the advantage of letting {{member}} move quietly when needed. When combined with a Lasat’s distinct odor and large stature, however, stealth is not always that easy. It can also make things difficult for {{member}} when trying to fit into compressed spaces or blend in with the other species of the galaxy.
Unique Species Feat: Few And The Proud After being driven to the point of extinction by the Galactic Empire, Lasat tend to keep to themselves and avoid drawing the attention of the galaxy at large. As a result, {{member}} often has to contend with stereotypes of {{gender:his,her}} species being nothing more than primitive brutes—despite the importance that Lasat place on intellect, combat skills, and most importantly honor.

Mirialan

Mirialan
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Flexible and agile Geometric Tattoos Stratified society	Description: Mirialans were a species of near-Humans native to the planet Mirial. Their appearance varied from yellow-green skin tones to paler skin very similar to many Humans.
Average Height: 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic Mirialan
Unique Species Feat: Karma Mirialans religiously practice a primitive understanding of the Force. Following this belief, {{member}} believes that {{gender:his,her}} individual actions contribute to shape {{gender:his,her}} destiny. This makes {{member}} far more perceptive in determining the immediate outcomes of {{gender:his,her}} actions through weighing the consequences.
Unique Species Feat: It’s All On My Face Mirialans bear facial markings that show they have completed certain tests or tasks. Therefore, it is clear to the world what {{member}} has accomplished and thus {{gender:he,she}} will face great difficulty in passing {{gender:himself,herself}} off as an expert in something {{gender:he,she}} is not adept in or when attempting to feign ignorance.

Mon Calamari

Mon Calamari

Notable Traits: Amphibious Bulbous eyes Salmon-coloured skin Webbed hands, excellent swimmers Unique vision spectrum Knowledgable about traps	Description: The Mon Calamari (also known as Calamari, Calamarians, Mon Cal, Mon Calamarians, or rarely Mon Cala) were one of the sentient species indigenous to the world of Dac.
Average Height: 1.3 to 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic Mon Calamarian
Unique Species Feat: Fish Out Of Water Like all Mon Calamari, {{member}} can breathe indefinitely underwater and submerge to significant depths without issue. This evolution in a deep sea environment makes {{member}} an adept swimmer, but prolonged exposure to hot and dry atmospheres is particularly uncomfortable and will cause {{gender:his,her}} skin to shrivel.
Unique Species Feat: It’s a Trap! Mon Calamari possess a near-legendary quality of being both determined and dedicated. Once {{member}} decides on a course of action, {{gender:he,she}} cannot be easily swayed from {{gender:his,her}} decision. Because of this determination, {{member}} is fixated on causes that seem hopeless from the start, making {{gender:him,her}} more likely to find themselves in perilous circumstances.

Muun

Muun
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Tall, gaunt Thin waist, fingers, body Elongated, hairless head Long arms and legs Mathmatical skills	Description: Muun were tall, gaunt humanoids with thin bodies and hairless, elongated heads. Their skin, ranging from pasty-white to pale pink and even gray, made them doubly recognizable, as did their unusually flat features. Hailing from the mineral-rich world of Muunilinst, their mathematical acumen made them prized bankers and statisticians throughout the galaxy.
Average Height: 1.9 meters	Languages: Basic Muun
Unique Species Feat: Heartwarming Muun were known for their ternary vascular system, which included two additional hearts whose functions are under their conscious control. This allows {{member}} to increase {{gender:his,her}} blood flow to survive in low-temperature environments for extended periods of time and contributes to a longer lifespan than Humans.
Unique Species Feat: Space Snakes & Foxes Muun are notorious for always keeping their word - but not always in the way expected. Though contracts and laws are considered sacred by {{gender:his,her}} society, {{member}} will not hesitate to exploit technicalities to {{gender:his,her}} advantage. {{member}} has a knack for finding loopholes in contracts, which while useful in negotiation and diplomacy can make others wary of trusting a deal made with {{gender:him,her}}.

Unique Species Feat: Unblinking One of the more distinct features of Nautolans are their lidless eyes. Because of {{gender:his,her}} lack of eyelids, {{member}} can have difficulty seeing and can be irritated in areas where there is particulate matter or fog in the air. This does give {{gender:him,her}} nearly perfect vision underwater, however.
	(Back to Top)

Ongree

Ongree
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Brownish skin Flexible eyestalks “Upside-down” appearance Lipless mouth Tentacled beards Three-fingered hands	Description: Ongree were an amphibious sentient species characterized by yellowish or brownish skin and elongated, tapered heads.

Average Height: 1.9 meters	Languages: Basic Ongreenen
Unique Species Feat: Points Of View Ongree possess flexible eyestalks, which allow them to see objects from multiple angles. This has given {{member}} a unique mindset, allowing {{gender:him,her}} to examine situations from multiple perspectives with ease and without concentration.
Unique Species Feat: What Is That… Thing? Ongree have an unmistakable appearance attributed to their inverted looking faces. In addition to a telltale humpbacked posture, {{member}} is easily recognizable within a sea of faces. Even with {{gender:his,her}} face hidden, an observant investigator can distinguish {{gender:him,her}} through posture alone.

Pantoran

Pantoran
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Blue to purple hair Yellow eyes Cold-resistant Yellow facial markings	Description: Pantorans were a sentient species native to Pantora, a moon orbiting the planet Orto Plutonia. At first glance, they only differed from the otherwise similar Humans in their blue skin and yellow eyes.
Average Height: 1.5 to 1.9 meters	Languages: Basic
Unique Species Feat: All In Favor? Pantorans are diplomats at heart and like to settle any type of conflict they encounter through democratic negotiation. {{member}} can often find solutions to problems when others would simply give up. However, {{gender:he,she}} can also then struggle with making executive decisions that disregard others' opinions.
Unique Species Feat: The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway Pantorans possess a greater resilience to lower temperatures than Humans, allowing {{member}} to remain comfortable in extreme cold weather conditions, even in a light wardrobe.

Pau'an

Pau'an
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Furrowed, gray skin Black eyes Preference for raw meat Sharp, jagged teeth Hypersensitive hearing Centuries-long lifespan	Description: Pau'ans were gaunt, long-limbed humanoids from Utapau. They had sunken black eyes, sharp teeth, and gray skin marked by vertical furrows, as well as ear-disks. They are known as the "Ancients" due to their long life-span.
Average Height: 1.90 meters	Languages: Basic Utapese
Unique Species Feat: I Heard That Like all Pau'an, {{member}} possesses hypersensitive hearing that affects all members of {{gender:his,her}} race. Without {{gender:his,her}} protective ear-disks, {{gender:he,she}} will be subjected to discomfort, pain and disorientation around loud noises. However, this does give {{member}} a unique ability to track sounds to their specific locations, giving them an almost preternatural sense of direction and tracking with conventional-level noises.
Unique Species Feat: Born To Lead Pau'an society is centered around leadership and management. As a result of their integration with the labour cultures of Utapau, they are often exposed to leadership at a young age. {{member}} naturally gravitates towards leadership roles, and often has difficulty following the lead of those {{gender:he,she}} finds less experienced.

Quarren

Quarren
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Squid-like heads Tentacled faces Orange leathery skin Gills Two fang-like teeth Aquatic Spray ink	Description: The Quarren, or Qarren, were one of several aquatic sentient species from the planet Dac, called by off-worlders Mon Calamari. The Quarren shared their homeworld with the Mon Calamari, another sentient species hailing from Dac. The Quarren had many conflicts and a tense relationship with the Mon Calamari.
Average Height: 1.7 to 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic Quarrenese
Unique Species Feat: Just Keep Swimming Quarren can descend to great oceanic depths without apparatus, allowing them to adapt to extreme changes in pressure by decompressing {{gender:his,her}} body. {{member}} can also breathe indefinitely while underwater. This evolution in a deep sea environment makes {{member}} an adept swimmer, but prolonged exposure to hot and dry atmospheres is particularly uncomfortable and will cause {{member}}’s skin to shrivel.
Unique Species Feat: Xenophobe Quarren are a self-centered and proud species. Naturally, this makes {{member}} isolationist in behaviour and makes interaction with other species difficult. Because of this, {{gender:he,she}} will appear xenophobic and crude while interacting with members of another species.

Rodian

Rodian
Classification: {{{classification}}}

Unique Species Feat: Paint It Black Like all Umbaran, {{member}} can naturally see into the ultraviolet spectrum. This allows {{gender:him,her}} to see much better in the dark, but causes {{gender:him,her}} to be dazzled and disoriented by flashes of light, even from ordinary objects.
Unique Species Feat: Devil’s Dance {{member}}, as an Umbaran, is naturally very secretive and manipulative, and finds it easier to use {{gender:his,her}} Manipulation skill to deceive those around {{gender:him,her}} when not under duress. However, due to this dishonest culture and {{member}}’s darker sense of humor, {{gender:he,she}} finds it more difficult to relate to other people’s emotions and good intentions.

Unique Species Feat: Didn’t Hurt! Possessing a second heart, Zabraks are more resistant to physical pain than most species. Even with near-fatal injuries, {{member}} can ignore the worst of the pain to the point that {{gender:his,her}} physiology prevents {{gender:him,her}} from passing out during intense interrogations or torture. However, {{member}} will still feel the effects of fatigue from bodily harm as normal.
Unique Species Feat: I Always Know Better Zabraks have a tendency towards self-reliance and are generally quite confident in themselves. {{member}} tends to see {{gender:him,her}}self as superior to {{gender:his,her}} fellows, which borders on arrogance.

Their exotic appearance made them appealing to most other species, a fact aided by their alleged pheromones.
Average Height: 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic
Unique Species Feat: Sun's Getting Real Low While Zeltrons aren't even sure as to the veracity of such claims, the galaxy has concluded that on some level Zeltrons use a form of pheromones to make themselves more likable and calm those around them. While they have no control over this effect, it allows {{member}} to more easily interact with others. As a result, they are better at defusing situations either through Diplomacy or Manipulation.
Unique Species Feat: Turn Down For What? A Zeltron’s second liver grants them a heightened metabolism. As a result, {{member}} has a higher tolerance to consuming alcohol and digesting rich foods. While useful, this genetic ability also tends to push {{gender:him,her}} towards hedonistically indulgent tendencies.

Unique Species Feat: Addictive Tendencies While not all Anzati are addicted to feeding on other beings' ‘soup,’ the species as a whole has developed a tendency for being drawn to addictive substances. As a result, {{member}} is more susceptible to persuasion or influence in a scenario that involves the potential for substance abuse or indulgence.

Unique Species Feat: Sunglasses At Night While the conditions of their homeworld have allowed them to see into the infrared spectrum, their eyes are sensitive to sources of extreme heat. This forces members of the Arkanian species to use blinders on worlds with hotter suns. When looking at sources of intense heat, {{member}} is effectively blind until {{gender:he,she}} shields {{gender:his,her}} vision from sources of extreme heat.

Unique Species Feat: Unapologetic A common occurrence among members of the Barabel species, the concept of apologies, whether for a misdeed or sympathetic reasons, is unknown to {{member}}. Lacking this skill might reflect poorly on {{gender:his,her}} personal image, especially when an apology is not given for a misdeed on their part.

Unique Species Feat: Ever The Critic Although Blood Carvers are, as a culture, talented sculptors, compliments are considered to be something offworlders use, and are considered insulting to members of this species.

Over time, however, the species has evolved to possess a unique way of 'seeing' through the Force. {{member}} can perceive the world around them in a blue-white spectrum by way of shapes, outlines and auras.

Average Height: 3.5 meters	Languages: Basic Neti
Unique Species Feat: Natural Endurance As a Neti, {{member}} does not sleep, eat or consume large amounts of water. {{gender:He,She}} has no biological need to rest and can thus push {{gender:him,her}}self through long working hours without signs of fatigue. However, this trait is directly related to the conditions and environment that {{gender:he,she}} is in.

Unique Species Feat: Photosynthesis Covered in bark-like skin, {{member}} is a sentient plant with the same needs as other species of flora. This not only makes {{member}} highly flammable, but also makes {{gender:him,her}} dependant on the environment and conditions that {{gender:he,she}} is in.

Noghri

Noghri
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Steel gray skin Black eyes Hairless Advanced olfactory abilities Claws	Description: Noghri were a primitive humanoid species. They had steely gray or blue skin, and were extremely skilled assassins due to their abilities in stealth and hand-to-hand combat. Despite their small size, they were efficient killing machines, with claws, fangs, and a sense of smell so acute that they could smell one's bloodline.
Average Height: 1.4 to 1.7 meters	Languages: Basic Honoghran
Unique Species Feat: The Blood Runs Deep Noghri possess a sense of smell so attuned that members of this species can distinguish a person’s bloodline through scent alone. As a Noghri, {{member}} shares this talent with {{gender:his,her}} species and is able to tell a person’s bloodline through their olfactory senses.
Unique Species Feat: Nothing Goes Over My Head As a clan-based society, humor is a foreign concept to the Noghri species. Even in {{gender:his,her}} most relaxed state, the meaning of most jokes are lost on {{member}}. Therefore, {{gender:he,she}} will often misinterpret jokes as serious insults, commands or just plain nonsense.

Notable Traits: Blue skin Bird-like appearance Lithe Fragile bodies Heads covered in feathery threads	Description: The Omwati were lithe Near-Humans with blue skin and a bird-like appearance. They were native to the planet Omwat and were known for their intellect and natural talent for science, engineering, and music. Omwati children had incredibly pliant minds that, with the proper training, could retain data and be educated beyond the threshold of most other sentient species.
Average Height: 1.6 to 2.1 meters	Languages: Basic Omwatese
Unique Species Feat: Riddle Me This {{member}} has an inherent penchant for solving puzzles and riddles. {{member}} can use {{gender:his,her}} Intellect skill at one skill level higher when presented with a problem that requires logic alone to figure out.
Unique Species Feat: Songbird Sharing much of their physiology in common with birds, Omwati are lithe in appearance and unusually fragile. As a result, {{member}} possesses bones that are far more delicate than most species, making them less resiliant to trauma from weapons or impact.

Rattataki

Rattataki
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: White skin Bald heads Gladiatorial culture	Description: The Rattataki were a Near-Human species characterized by their chalk-white skin and bald heads. Virtually isolated from the rest of the galaxy, the Rattataki developed a violent society on their home planet of Rattatak, which involved extensive gladiatorial combat.
Average Height: 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic Rattataki
Unique Species Feat: Gladiator Rattataki culture is one dominated by gladiatorial combat, displaying remarkable initiative and continually creating new ways for members of the species to kill each other. Because of this, {{member}} possesses an inherent drive to fight more fiercely and fearlessly when being observed by an audience.
Unique Species Feat: Blunt Instrument Because Rattataki culture is focused around the need for violence and harsh conditions, {{member}} is ambitious and drawn towards dangerous undertakings, but has a tendency to bite off more than {{gender:he,she}} can chew. Nonetheless, {{gender:he,she}} is often unable to comprehend the level of danger that {{gender:he,she}} finds {{gender:him,her}}self in, which can lead to even greater peril.

Shaevalian

Shaevalian
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Long lifespans: ~250 years Reach maturity only at age 60 Strong constitution Dark hair Dark eyes	Description: Shaevalians are a humanoid subspecies that evolved from the Echani race.
Average Height: 1.9-2.1 meters	Languages: Basic Thyrsian
Unique Species Feat: Tough Mudders’ Possessing a denser bone structure, Shaevalians are more resistant to physical pain than most species. Even with near-fatal injuries, {{member}} can ignore the worst of the pain to the point that {{gender:his,her}} physiology prevents {{gender:him,her}} from passing out during combat or intense interrogation. However, {{member}} will still feel the effects of fatigue from bodily harm as normal.
Unique Species Feat: Not Our Problem Shaevalians don't tend to get involved in matters that don't pertain or advance their own goals as a superior species. As such, {{member}} has a hard time falling in line or subscribing to any motivational propaganda involving non-Shaevalian affairs such as war or conflict. This independence makes {{gender:his,her}} difficult for leaders to control, making {{member}} somewhat of a wildcard.

Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Emerald colored Faint pulses of light to signify sentient thought Immobile without droid body Patient and knowledgeable	Description: Shards are a silicon-based species native to the planet Orax, who took the form of irregularly faceted cylindrical crystals. These immobile crystals were highly intelligent, Force-sensitive and sentient, but required a droid body to be able to move or interact with the world around them.	File:Character sheet shard.png
Average Height: 0.3–0.4 m	Languages: Basic
Unique Species Feat: Dances With Droids Based on {{gender:his,her}} reliance on a droid body to serve as a host, {{member}} possesses intricate understanding of the inner workings and nuances of machinery, allowing {{gender:him,her}} the ability to communicate using the Binary language and use {{gender:his,her}} Mechanic skill at one skill point higher when modifying a piece of machinery.
Unique Species Feat: A Shard In Droid's Clothing {{member}} is a sentient Shard that is immobile without some kind of droid body to serve as a host. The droid body is a bipedal humanoid, and functions just like an average organic being. Mobility and strength are direct reflections of {{member}}’s respective point level in each Skill. Strength in the Force is a direct reflection of {{members}}’s respective level in Force Powers. The droid bodies do not feature any special modifications beyond regular sight, hearing, or armament.

Shi’ido

Shi’ido
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Shapeshifting ability Long lives - avg. 500 years	Description: The Shi'ido were a sentient species of shapeshifters from the planet of Lao-mon. In their natural forms, they had pale skin, wide mouths, and deep set eyes.	File:Character sheet shiido.png
Average Height: 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic Shi’idese
Unique Species Feat: Humanoid Blend When present among humanoids, {{member}} can blend to match the outer racial characteristics of that species, such as skin color, eye color, and hair color. Extreme changes such as increases in height or extra appendages can be created out of {{gender:his,her}} own body mass as well. These transformations require full concentration and significant time to occur. {{member}} needs to have a subject to mimic for the duration of the transformation.
Unique Species Feat: Who Am I? Shi’ido, like most shapeshifters, are not trusted throughout the Galaxy. {{member}} often has a difficult time assimilating with other species of the Galaxy when in {{gender:his,her}} natural form. The reliance on assuming other sentient identities often leaves {{member}} to question {{gender:his,her}} own.

Zelosian

Zelosian
Classification: {{{classification}}}
Notable Traits: Chlorophyll instead of blood Emerald green eyes Blind in darkness	Description: Zelosians were Near-Humans outwardly identical to Humans, but all had emerald green eyes and a type of chlorophyll sap instead of blood. Although well-known galaxy-wide as skilled horticulturists, few realized the Zelosians were not Humans.
Average Height: 1.8 meters	Languages: Basic Zelosian
Unique Species Feat: Horticulturalist Sharing some of their physiology with plant life, Zelosians have adapted a preference to sunlight. While these shared traits make {{member}} inherently skilled as a horticulturalist, {{gender:he,she}} is not accustomed to darkness. Thus, {{gender:he,she}} will remain blinded for the duration that {{gender:he,she}} lacks for sufficient lighting.
Unique Species Feat: Pour Some Sugar On Me As a Zelosian, {{member}} bleeds chlorophyll sap instead of blood. As a result, {{gender:he,she}} will be unaffected through the consumption of alcohol. Instead, sugar carries a similar effect that alcohol has on Humans.
