Mirialan/Legends

Mirialans were a species of near-Humans native to the planet Mirial. Their appearance varied from yellow-green skin to paler skin very similar to many Humans.

Mirialans were very flexible and agile, making them fast and formidable foes.

Society and culture
The Mirialan people were religious and practiced a primitive understanding of the Force. They believed each individual's actions contributed to their destiny. A Mirialan would place a unique, often geometrically repeated tattoo on their face and hands to signify that they had completed a certain test or task, or achieved sufficient aptitude for a certain skill. The number of tattoos would thus often act as a good indicator of how mature and/or skilled a Mirialan was.

History
At some point before the Invasion of Naboo, Mirial fought in a war against a nearby planet. The notorious pirate Arwen Cohl helped lead the Mirialans to victory.

Mirialans in the galaxy
Hylo Visz was a Mirialan smuggler during the days of the Old Republic who led a coalition of smugglers to break a Mandalorian blockade and deliver raw goods to Coruscant. Fortris Gall was a male Mirialan Jedi Knight at the time of the Great Galactic War. He was involved in a conspiracy to assassinate members of the Galactic Senate that sought peace with the Sith Empire, but eventually turned against the conspiracy.

Arwen Cohl was active as a Mirialan freedom fighter decades before the Clone Wars. Luminara Unduli and her Padawan learner Barriss Offee were Mirialan Jedi who fought in the Clone Wars. Teela Kaarz was a political prisoner who worked as a minor architect on the first Death Star.

Behind the scenes
Some characters, such as Jana Lorso, bear a similar appearance to that of Mirialans, but are not officially labeled as such.

Mirialans will be a playable species in the upcoming Star Wars MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic for the Jedi Consular class and Trooper class.
