(armoured Extramaton aka the typical Extramaton - made by Gabe Rose)
Name: Extramaton
Designation: Sentient
Homeworld: Exagora
Language: Extressen, Galactic Basic Standard
Average height of adults: 1.8 metres
Skin colour: All human skin colours
Hair colour: All human hair colours.
Breathes: Type I
Strengths:
Natural Telepathic Abilities - Extramaton have natural abilities at reading other people's minds and influence them (although that ability requires training). However, they are unable to read the minds of their speciesmates.
Incredible Mental Abilities - Extramaton are gifted at thinking and logic. They are do mostly academic intellectual jobs and their average IQ is higher than the average human's.
Weaknesses:
Physically Weak - Extramaton are physically relatively weak due to not doing much of exercise. That means in battle, they are a lot more useless than the average human.
Incredible Difficulty at Interacting with Other Species - Extramaton, although they are very human-like, are very ugly and typically wear clothes that hide their appearance, sometimes even to the degree of making themselves durable armour so that their hideous appearance wouldn't be seen. This feature makes interaction with other species very difficult.
Very Small FU-to-NFU Ratio - Extramaton FU-to-NFU ratio is incredibly low, meaning only very few members of the species are able to use the Force. It's also been noted the ability to use the Force is very difficult to inherit by Extramaton children.
Unable to Breed with Other Species - Extramaton DNA and chromosomes are unique and have a part to them which makes Extramaton unable to breed with any other species, making it impossible for anybody to be a hybrid of Extramaton and some other species, even through genetic engineering. This is a weakness due to the fact that the species is highly mutated as an aftermath of the Gulag Virus and if they cannot breed with the more perfect genes of other species, they may start closing their extinction.
Distinctions: Extramaton are very much like humans, sharing practically the same anatomy and structure with them. Although Extramaton are considered extremely ugly when compared to most other species. Their appearance is mostly a mix of bad genes and it varies greatly -- their faces tend to look awful and displeasing (have unevenly sized eyes, humongous ears, nonexistent noses, etc.), their skins are not in a very good state, in rarer occasions, even their limbs could be uneven, very rare mutations could make people look a lot like zombies.
Average Lifespan: 80 GSY
Races: The same as human races
Estimated Population: 11.4 billion practically only found on the planet of Exagora
Diet: The same as human diet
Communication: Verbal, written, holocommunication
Culture:
Exagora and its species are extremely well-developed and highly cultural, spending a lot of time philosophising, studying and making art. Every establishment and settlement on the planet typically has some kind of a library and schools for all ages to provide every person on the planet with what Exagori culture thinks should be granted -- a way of learning and educating. A huge percent of the planet's citizens work in academic fields, hinting more to the fact that these people like thinking more than acting.
The planet is united under one government which holds the same name as the planet itself. The government would be classified as a presidential republic, although the Supreme President's power is practically endless. The legislation of the government is in the hands of the Parliament of Exagora which consists of three houses and has a total of 75 members who occasionally have parliament-wide discussions as a council in the planet's capital Vulnar. The executive power is in the hands of the Supreme President, although he also has a Prime Minister who controls the ministries of the government. The judicial power is in the hands of the Court of Justice.
The daily life of the planet's inhabitants is quite complex as the younger citizens typically go to school and have very detailed schedules and those who have found themselves a job mostly handle very rigorous matters. Like mentioned, most of the people living on the planet do academic work while droids handle the agriculture, mining, production and other services, a small proportion of them also serving in the military. It is common for a person to spend their free time in the numerous museums and libraries of the planet.
Speaking of museums and libraries, there are many of them on the planet. As the planet focuses heavily on culture and arts, it has a huge amount of art galleries and museums which provide people the essential boost of inspiration and culture. All art- and culture-related buildings are free to visit, as per Exagori Civil Rights Law which states every person must be able to be cultured and educated.
As people live a rather stationary life and do more thinking than moving, sports are nearly non-existent, although people enjoy watching how other people play sports. The only sports Exagori people themselves do are those which need a lot of thinking, e.g chess. They, however, have a military which, most of the time, has absolutely nothing to do. Although being extremely large in size, its members typically live daily life and it's nearly impossible to tell if a member of the society is serving in the military.
Society of the planet is rather accepting and tolerating to a certain degree. The planet is not an utopia it looks like. Civil rights are held dear, although the universal rights of the planet are lacking. Besides the rights for education and culture, there is no real work done against poverty, unemployment, lack of transportation, housing problems and lack of food. Emotionally, people are living a happy life as per studies and research (with 86% of people replying they are feeling successful and enjoy their lives (studies didn't include economic success)).
People of the planet are generally tolerant about race, species, cultural differences, gender and sex, sexuality and religion, although there are many people who do not feel like different people should be protected yet, but they are moving towards accepting people as well. Political ideals, however, are things people do not often talk about due to a huge amount of abuse and harassment in case of being different. Government of the planet is also very eager to shut down all rebellions and difference in political views. People do not have a lot of political rights, all speeches against the current political state of the planet are censored.
Exagora doesn't have a Force-user order, though. Force-sensitivity is widely ignored and if a person does know they are sensitive to it, they typically find a way to educate themselves about it away from the planet either independently or via joining a faction which trains Force-users. The people and government of Exagora do not have preferences about it and are neutral in these matters.
Technology level: Galactic average
General behaviour:
Like mentioned in the Culture section, Extramaton are rather tolerant people when it comes to everything else but politics. In general, these people come off as friendly and understanding, but not always that kind. Any conversation with a non-Extramaton is seen as a great achievement because the people are often ignored and harassed due to their strange ugliness. But if anybody mentions politics, Extramaton try to make their way out of the conversation. They don't accept any other political ideals than their own and not so rarely, go into physical fights due to that. With their power of influencing minds, they also try to make others follow the same political ideals than they themselves do.
History:
The beginning of the planet and life on it are practically the same as every other planet. However, the most important parts of history begin at about 200 BBY when the planet and its numerous cities and establishments started forming alliances. People of all continents started bonding and forming allegiances until at 47 BBY, most of the planet was divided between two major kingdoms: the cliché evil Àndruil Kingdom and the cliché good Rethum Kingdom. The two started a war, both of them wanting to have all the power of the planet.
The war lasted for a long time and many people died until the planet was hit by the Gulag Virus which destroyed a huge amount of the planet's people. After the Four Hundred Year Darkness, all people who had lived during the two kingdom era had died and the new generations wanted to live a happy life together. So they formed the Republic of Exagora which was ruled by the Supreme President who slowly turned into an Absolute Monarch. The head of state title became hereditary.
In the upcoming years, the planet made it through a huge cultural advancement. Although the planet had been extremely well-developed at this subject even before, cultural advancement hit the all-time high at 844 ABY and the Golden Age of Culture on Exagor began.
Notable Player-Characters: None yet
Intent: To create a new interesting species for the SWRP: Chaos community for people to explore and use. And well, whatever else they want to do.
