BAKUR
Appearance and Biology: The Bakur are the most physically
dominant of the species in the Dark System . They stand only 1.8
meters but have very broad shoulders and are very built . Their eyes are
set extra far back so that the forehead and cheekbones stick out . This
shields their eyes from the sun . Their eyes constantly excrete water and
it is then caught on the cheekbone . This keeps the eyes from getting dry
from the heat . The skin of the Bakur is very rough and weathered . They
are covered with a thin layer of fur. This reflects sunlight . Their chin
is seperated out into three sections much like the Aqualish . They have
four fat fingers .
Temperament: The Bakur are not cheery people . They are usually
grim and feel that they are board . So they fight and advance their weapons
. Their only friends are Bakurs and slightly feel other species are lesser
. They will highly value the person who can make them laugh and forget
their worries . Since they aren't too funny and they aren't too friendly,
this hasn't happened yet . They do have a sense of humor though . A very
twisted one . Their jokes tend to have somebody dying . They have a hot
temper and if they feel they have been insulted they will try to kill the
person who insulted him . Stubborn.
History and Culture: Bakur may seem very dumb but really it's because
their species has only been alive for several thousand years . This means
they have advanced and evolved much quicker than humans since they already
have slow sublight fighters. Their planet is still young too . It is mostly
ocean . Most of the land is volcanoes . Their are no continents, just one
super continent .
The Bakur have been fighting a century old war with
two of the surrounding species .It is believed that the reason Bakurs fight
the Sheel and Slair is an insult aimed at their leader by a Slair . It
is still unknown why they fight the Sheel . They used to fight wherever
. When the Bakur were attacked their land would get hurt but they would
always win . So they made an aggreement to fight on an uninhabited world
. The other species didn't like getting their planet rocked to so they
agreed . So now they wreak destruction on a forest planet . The plant life
regenerates fast enough though that it still looks pretty good .
The Bakur have one very strong opinion . If the Sheel
or Slairjoin with the Empire , it is like they cried for help or ran away
. The Bakur think of the Empire as a bunch of wimps . They think their
armor looks "sissy" and that they repeatedly choose weaker races
to work for them . Humans appear to be puny to them and feel the Empire
should be begging for them to help the Empire . Only once has the Empire
attacked them . They believed that they could have been a good slave race
like the Sludir or Wookie . Bakur proved to be smarter than they looked
. First they let the Slair and Sheel think they were alied with them once
the Bakur learned of the Empires plans . The Bakur easily took out all
ground troops , using the lands to their advantage . Especially the lava
. The combined force of the Bakur ,Slair and Sheel they forced the Empire
out of the system . This is the only time they have sort of worked together
.
Politics: Bakur find it easier to have one person make all the decisions
,as things are decided quicker, followed through quicker and nobody can
really argue with it . So far this has worked since the leaders have been
good and the Bakur's self respect for each other . They will hardly ever
argue amongst themselves but will argue more with other species .
Technology Level: Bakur are capable of sublight travel and weak
blasters and firearms . The first thing they learned to do was bash in
each others heads so the second thing was making armor to prevent this
. Bakur armor is very impressive technologically and in appearance.
