Darga (species)

The Dargas were a Near-Human sentient species native to the red desert planet Zender.

Biology and appearance
The Dargas were a near-Human species, differing from baseline Humans by their blue skin and red eyes. They were the genetic descendants of the original Human inhabitants of Zender, who were mutated via exposure to radioactive Dorium in the planet's crust.

Society and culture
Darga society was nomadic, using banthas to move between oases in the vast deserts of their homeworld. Over time, the Dargas organized into tribes, who perpetually warred against each other over possession of the oases and the fruit trees that grew there.

History
When the Galactic Empire made contact with the Dargas, the feuding tribes decided to put aside their differences and unite against the invaders, fighting against them with guerilla tactics. The tribal alliance was let by a chief mystic named Zindati.

Behind the scenes
The Dargass were created by Jean Balczesak for the ambiguously canon roleplaying scenario Plus froid que l'espace, which appeared in the French magazine Casus Belli HS12.
