Sephi were a humanoid sentient species[1] native to the planet Isobe,[2] who boasted long life and an affinity with droids and machinery. They had long tapered ears that could twitch, swivel and flatten in accordance with the emotional state of the subject. Their skin tones included lavender[1] and peach, and their eyes could be green or blue.[2]
Sephi were capable of emitting a pheromone that was capable of knocking other beings unconscious with the sensation of being close to death, an ability developed by their ancestors as protection against predators.[4]
Eira Tay, a female Sephi, worked as an engineer aboard the freighter Eclipse.[1] The Sephi made aerial craft known as flyers.[5]
Behind the scenes[]
The Sephi were originally created by Jeremy Barlow for the Legends comic book Jedi: Yoda.[6] Barlow named the species after his pet cat, Persephone.[7]
