Species Name: Flavaian
Species Type: Humanoid (Near-Duros)
Planet of Origin: Kadok-Minor:
One of the fifteen moons of the planet Kadok III-B, the Flavavian's called the moon Kadok-Minor. It was the furthest away from the planet and it received absolutely no sunlight ever. The only light that the planet did receive was from the glowing ball of lava that it orbited. IT was a very dim, red glow. The planet was nearly stationary taking 500 standard years to rotate on its axis and it is unknown if it has ever rotated around Kadok III-B. There was very little vegetation on the moon aside from lichen and fungi because of the lack of sunlight, and there were no other creatures aside from the Flavaian's. The moon was surprisingly warm, because due to the fact that the moon rotated around a gigantic ball of lava it emitted a great deal of heat. They moon was warm and moist giving it a tropical and humid climate. The terrain of the moon was forests of fungus with spongy, wet soil. The moon is very oxygen and nitrogen rich.
Average Maximum age: 110 standard years.
Age of Maturation: Fifteen
Average Height: 5'10
Average Weight: 120
Notable biological features:
The Flavaian's were a yellow-skinned, amphibious, Near-Duros species native the on of the fifteen moons of the planet Kadok III-B, called Kadok-Minor. Due to the shear darkness of the planet the Flavaian's had developed night-vision and had the ability to see ultra-violet rays. They also emitted a slight glow from their yellow skin. This glow developed of time to help them see better. They had black eyes and six fingered hands. The reason for the development of their hands being this way is unknown.
Due to the lack of predators on their homeworld the Flavaian's we not a physically strong race in the aspect of self-defense and were herbivorous. This, along with the climate of their world made them, much like soil of their planet, "squishy". They have no physical forms of self-defense, and their bodies are not adapted for any sort of extremely harsh conditions. Their skin is relatively thin, and due to their fungal diet they never developed any for of teeth. Because of their "squishy" bodies Flavian's need to wear special pressure suits when off world. The only part of their body that is not covered is their head, which seems to not react like the rest of their bodies do to high-pressure environments. Their faces do however seem to look more sunken in and slightly shriveled when off world.
The inside of a Flavaian was a complex thing; all of their organs, aside from their brain and intestines, were located in a gelatinous sack around their stomachs. They were generally lacking organs that were vital to most species such as a liver or kidneys. The only organs they had were a brain, a heart, one large lung, a stomach and their intestinal system. They had no need for the others because they had developed eating fungi which were teeming with bacteria and germs. They were unaffected by things which would require their blood to need filtering. This gave the superb immune systems, making them nearly invulnerable to all sicknesses and infections. They had cartilage as opposed to bones. Their blood was clear yellow being ninety percent water, and the rest the chemical that made them glow yellow. The blood was extremely thin.

The People:
The culture of the Flavian's was severely lacking in some aspects. They created no forms of art or music. They believed that fungal arrangements and lichen arrangements were beautiful enough, and they called this their art form. They were however known for their literature. The wrote mostly philosophical pieces, which were generally based on manors, morality and pacifism. The race as a whole were very peaceful creatures, believing that any form of violence was the ultimate showing of disrespect and was always quite rude. This made them seem arrogant to off-worlders. They generally were very arrogant though, believing that their society was far superior to any other. They considered the "violent" races who had wars to be below them. The were quite proud and boisterous on the fact that they had never participated in a war, not even one of their own. The Flavaian's had no real government, they were an anarchical society. Everything was determined democratically however by everyone coming together to discuss things peacefully until everyone agreed on things. Everything is communal to Flavaian's, although they had learn to understand ideas such as privet property through-out the galaxy. They often try to persuade people into the idea of sharing, or borrowing. This is because they do not understand concepts such as stealing in the sense of actually doing it. They always borrow with the intent of returning said item as soon as they are done with it. Making them generally very trustworthy people. In the Galaxy Flavaian's have had contact with the republic for thousands of years, and are spread out amongst most every system. They are generally diplomats, peace activists, and philosophers. They are constantly trying to persuade people into their pacifistic ideology. They are not very well like however, because of their arrogant attitudes. They have a general hatred for Neimodian's however (explained in history). They were not a primitive race at all, and actually had developed quite a few starship's that supported their environment. They also had built large underground cities with an intricate system of tunnel roads connecting everything. They had but one deity which was a harvest goddess. They were a highly religious people who had one holiday celebrated every time the moon rotated in which they would not harvest anything for several hours (which for most would be a standard month). They had no calender system because one day was five hundred standard years, so they had no concept of what a "day" was. They had over time developed a vocal and written language that was surprisingly vastly different from Pak Pak. They called their language Flavos. The spoken form was a very quiet melody of airy whispers, more sung than spoken. It was considered rather sensuous to non-Flavain's. Their written language was a systems of symbols used to represent syllables.
History:
The history of the Flavaian's is very short because they are the youngest of the Near-Duros races. Their known existence is only about 10,000 years old. They are not even fully descendants of the Duros, but rather the are the distant cousins of Neimoidian's who colonized their moon homeworld for the cultivation of the fungi that grew there. Their rapid evolution is a mystery. The origin of the species however is well known. They were supposed to be a colony of slave farmers who cultivated the fungi of Kadok-Minor. After a few hundred years it became to expensive to fund the slaves so they were neglected and eventually forgotten completely by their Neimodian masters. They came to hate the Neimodian's because this abandonment. It was not for nearly another five thousand years that they would even be thought of. A large ship of 100 Neimodian activists who had read about the desertion of a colony of slave farmers and wanted to liberate them appeared on the tiny moon. When they arrived they found that the slaves strange "mutation" of their skin and eyes. Scared of what they saw the activists fled into the fungal forests and were never hear from again. After years of tinkering the Flavain's discovered how to use the extremely large ship which was left to them. After a short time they started moving off world and creating their own ships. It was not long until they had become a fixture in galactic society.
