| Bantha: Large, four-legged beasts of burden found on Tatooine and elsewhere, these creatures have adapted to a variety of climates and terrain. Wild herds still roam on some planets; on others, tje only banthas are domesticated. Males have a pair of large tapering horns and canbe as wide as three meters at the shoulders. Banthas survive on grasses and other natural flora, and because of their size and internal reserves, can live up to a month or so with out water or food. Often used as pack animals, their long, thick fur is prized for clothing and their meat for food. Even bantha-skin boots and carrying cases bring top credit on some worlds. The Tusken Raiders have a special bond with their personal bantha and if the bantha dies, the Raider is sent into the desert in the hopes of being adopted by a wild bantha. |

| Bith: These evolved humanoids with huge foreheads and hairless craniums come from Clak'dor VII in the Colu system, Mayagil sector. Their large, lidless black eyes and receding noses complement the baggy facial folds beneath their jaw lines. They make good entertainers and musicians, since the Bith are able to perceive sounds as precisely as other species perceive color. They play everywhere from the grandest palaces to out-of-the-way cantinas in spaceports such as Mos Eisley. |

| Devaronian: Near humanoid in appearance, this species comes from the temperate world of Devaron. The males are hairless, with a pair of horns springing from the tops of their heads and sharp incisors filling their mouths. Many feel uncomfortable in their presance since they resemble the devils of thousands of myths. Female Devaronians are larger, with thick fur and no horns. The males have galactic wanderlust, while most females prefer to stay at home and keep their advanced industries running. Their language is low, guttural, and full of snarling consonants. |

| Duros: Who have large eyes, thin slits for mouths and no noses - have been traveling space and hauling cargo for thousands of years. Their star system is filled with vast orbiting cities and many smaller depots and shipyards. It is governed by a group of starship corporations; political decisions are made by stockholders who tried to remail neutral in the Galactic Civil War. The planet is mostly uninhabited, but covered with automated farms that help feed inhabitants of the space cities. Animal life once included a now-existant cannibal arachnid. Han Solo's ancestor Korol Solo, a pretender to the throne of Corellia, married and fathered a son on Duro. The Duros Captain Lai Nootka was freed from imprisonment on Garqi by Rogue Squadron's Corran Horn. Nootka was later sought out as a witness in the trial of Tycho Celchu. |
