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.

Physiology


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. 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 technology. Their native language was Adarese.

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, Denka Melru, Luur Tenefor, and Yeeru Meekel.
