Adarian/Legends

"Adarians are a stubborn people. Once they've made up their minds, it's almost impossible to change them."

- Carlist Rieekan

Adarians were humanoids from the planet Adari in the Inner Rim, although Adari was not believed to be their original homeworld. They had a strict social tier system.

Biology and appearance
Adarians had elongated skulls penetrated by a large hole. They lacked ears and noses, but their skulls were covered in fine hairs which were very sensitive to sound waves, and their skin underlaid by glands that allowed them to smell. They had sharp, bony ridges around their mouths instead of lips. The Adarians had distendable throat pouches, elongating them to emit a loud call which helped in communication over long distances.

Culture and history
Adarian society was based around a rigid caste system known as screel'sara. Their governmental headquarters was the Hall of Decisions. They had unique, advanced carbon-ice drive technology. Their native language was Adarese.

One Adarian served as a junior officer in the Republic Military at the Battle of Sebaddon during the Cold War.

The Adarians signed a non-aggression treaty with the Galactic Empire gaining neutrality in the Galactic Civil War in return for unlimited raw materials. They were represented in the Imperial Senate. Individuals of the race included Ador Beldune, Yeeru Chivkyrie, Denka Melru, Luur Tenefor, and Yeeru Meekel.
