Epicanthix

The Epicanthix were tall, muscular, dark-haired Near-Humans native to the Outer Rim Territories world of Panatha, in the Pacanth Reach.

Members of this species spoke Epicant.

History
The species was a near-Human race. The Epicanthix were known as warriors, having conquered many neighboring planets in the Reach, such as Bunduki. Epicanthix were known to live longer than Humans, with an average lifespan approaching 130 years. Some well-known Epicanthix were the Dark Jedi Yun, as well as the Teräs Käsi-trained fighters of the Pike family: Dux, and his twin daughters Zan and Zu.

Behind the scenes
The species name is likely derived from the term epicanthus, a fold of skin covering the medial canthus of the human eye. It is a trait common in various ethnic groups and in persons with Down's syndrome.
