Miraluka/Legends

"They claim to see on a higher plane than we do. You know, the whole Force thing? Makes me nervous."

- Atton Rand

The Miraluka were a humanoid species. Their language was Miralukese, although some, like Jerec and Visas Marr, preferred Basic. They differed from humans in that they lacked pupils or irises, instead bearing only vestigial white orbs (or in some cases, such as Visas Marr, empty sockets), and perceived the environment around them through the Force instead of regular vision. This vision was so strong that if a Miralukan looked upon a Jedi or Sith they could "see" The Force radiation off them. For moral reasons, Miraluka hid the appearance of their eyes by wearing a headband, a mask, or similar concealing headwear. As a Force-using species, Miraluka were often quite shocked if shown life not connected to the Force. The Miraluka that lived on Katarr were strong enough that even they felt the Battle of Malachor, though it is possible that not only they felt that battle.

Despite their inherent connection to the Force, Miralukan Jedi were quite rare, and Miralukan Sith were completely unheard of in the galaxy prior to the years following the Jedi Civil War.

Their original homeworld was Alpheridies. A colony world of the Miraluka named Katarr was stripped of all life by Sith Lord Darth Nihilus in approximately 3,952 BBY, during a Jedi meeting. The only survivor of this colony world was the Miraluka Visas Marr. Other Miraluka were Shoaneb Culu (a Jedi Shadow) and the Dark Jedi Jerec, one of the Emperor's Hands.
