I am an aquatic species, (a great swimmer and the ability to breath under water). I resemble the cross of part human with cat and ray fish features and have aqua-colored skin. I have venom-tipped, retractable claws. Similar to the Wookiees, the use of these claws in any form of combat is considered dishonorable and a sign of madness. My goal is to earn a fira, a curved sword, similar to a scimitar, constructed of Cortosis and as part of initiation in the Order of Shasa.

During the time of the Galactic Empire, My home planet, Manaan was occupied for supporting the Rebel Alliance by distributing kolto (a plant with healing powers). My race was enslaved and forced to harvest kolto for the Empire. After a nearly successful bloody rebellion, Palpatine realized that there may be Force-sensitive Selkath living amongst our brethren. He assigned Darth Vader to destroy the Force sensitive Order of Shasa. After the Battle of Endor the Empire left Manaan. Manaan later joined the New Republic, and produced many Jedi knights from the Order of Shasa, which survived Vader's attack. Kolto was, again, spread through the galaxy. I want to follow in my ancestors foot steps and become a Jedi Knight. My journey has led me to the Star Wars Combine. www.SWCombine.com.
