Chadra-Fan/Legends

"I don't know what it does&mdash;that's the beauty of it!"

- Anonymous Chadra-Fan engineer

Chadra-Fan were short, rodent-like humanoids (usually no more than one meter tall) with bat-like faces. They hailed from the watery planet Chad.

Biology and appearance
Chadra-Fan had seven different senses (sight, touch, taste, sound, smell, infrared sight, and chemoreceptive smell), all of which which were much more acute than Human senses. . They were usually no more than a meter tall, some depicted with plantigrade two-toed feet, while others seemed to have four-toed digitigrade feet.



Chadra-Fan culture was greatly affected by the tendency for hurricanes and tsunamis to wash away their bayou homes (as happened in 10 BBY, when a "Death-Wave" wiped out much of their civilization). They all had an instinctive fear of drowning in water. They regarded very few things as permanent, seeking only to enjoy themselves in the moment.

Chadra-Fan loved to tinker with mechanical devices, often disassembling and reassembling them into something completely different. Chadra-Fan living in the greater Galaxy sometimes worked in industrial research, by creating unique devices which engineers of other species with more conventional talents attempted to duplicate.

Many Chadra-Fan were taken offworld as slaves, but they took this positively by thinking of it as a big adventure. They were also a jovial race, who almost always got on well with others. Only the most evil acts against them would make them think otherwise.
