None in any great numbers, but Malgaresh can often be found in the
most unlikely corners of the galaxy
Appearance:
The Malgaresh are a short and slightly built race, seldom reaching
1.5 meters in height. The are fully bipedial, with two arms and
four hands (two forearms extend from each elbow). Malgaresh have
delicate features, with very large liquid vermillion and lavender
eyes, and a thick mane of silky midnight blue or black hair.
Malgaresh have a pair of large triangular ears, tufted with sound
focusing hairs. Malgaresh are naturally predators, and their thin,
needle-like teeth and short digestive tract match that biological
pattern.
Leaders:
On their homeworld, the Malgaresh are ruled by a representative
democracy. Elsewhere, they are citizens of numerous governmental
systems.
World View:
Malgaresh tend stick close to their rather primitive customs,
remaining savages at heart despite their technological
sophistication. They also have a rather grim sense of humor, and
enjoy jokes that involve the internal organs of slain enemies
(which they tend to eat after they are done with them)
Temperament:
Malgaresh have a quick temper, but they are equally quick to
forgive
offenses. They are fascinated with technology in all forms, and
are easily distracted by technologically sophisticated amusements,
such as holovid games and combat simulations, which they are
frighteningly good at.
History and Culture:
The Malgaresh were contacted by galactic explorers when they were
still at a very primitive stage of societal development. Their
natural skill with mechanical items proved to be in high demand,
and their technological development progressed by leaps and
bounds. By the fall of the Old Republic they had reached galactic
levels of technological development, scarcely three generations
from pack hunting tribes. Their culture has not progressed at
anywhere near that high a rate, though many Malgaresh have accepted
galactic culture as being the ideal, leading to the often chaotic
representative democracy that now rules Malgar.
Tech Level:
Space.
Malgaresh in the Galaxy:
Malgaresh have a reputation as being stellar pilots and spacemen,
and are often sought after as crew members for various crafts. The
fact that they are relatively primitive and naive is also well
known, and many attempt to manipulate their lack of knowledge about
galactic laws to impress them into service by any number of
illegalities or technicalities.
A Quote:
"Let me show you how to fly this thing, monkey boy..."
Spaceships:
Malgaresh do not build any ships of their own, but they pilot and
crew virtually every known model of spacecraft.
