Neimoidian

[Jenno]

The Neimoidian life-cycle has contributed much to their cutthroat business acumen. Born as disgusting grubs, Neimoidian offspring are placed in communal hives and given access to limited food supplies. The grubs then compete for food, and many young die if they are too weak to fend for themselves. Once Neimoidians achieve the age of seven, they emerge from the hives, having learned to fear death and to hoard goods.
Though they call Neimoidia home, Neimoidians can trace their ancestry to the ancient Duros spacefaring culture. The two share a striking similarity in appearance, but their personalities could not be more distant. While the Duros are a gregarious, expressive and adventurous lot, the Neimiodians seal themselves away from others, preferring to let droids do their talking.

Neimoidians place great value on wealth, and dress to display their riches accordingly. High-ranking officials dress in ornate and lavish gowns, towering headpieces, and the elite even travel about in inconvenient yet expensive conveyances called mechno-chairs.

Following the failed invasion of Naboo, the Neimoidians began losing favor in the galaxy. Though the command hierarchy of the Trade Federation still belonged to them, many Neimoidians fled from public view. Those that needed to conduct business took to calling themselves Duros to avoid the stigma.
