A species displaced by the Rakata thousands of years ago. The Bird-men were a highly advanced sentient species, one which had developed sub-light travel. This allowed them to escape on sleeper vessels whenever the Infinite Empire arrived to subjugate their world, allowing a select few to survive the near extinction of their entire species. This sleeper ship would land on the Void Terminal, well before the other inhabitants of the planet were to arrive. The weather was brutal, making flight impossible, and the local wildlife proved hostile and strange. To continue to survive, the Bird-men shed their intellect, reducing to a non-sentient race of terrestrial predators, roaming the surface of Void Terminal in the dead of night to hunt prey foolish enough to tread in the darkness alone. While towering above most humanoids and sporting a beak full of sharp teeth and night vision, the Bird-men have a notoriously low intelligence, easily being distracted by bright lights and sounds.
