Description:
Although most Anomids remain in the Yablari system, Anomid technicians, explorers, and wealthy travelers can be found throughout
the galaxy.
Rebel sympathizers are quick to befriend the Anomids since they might make sizeable donations to the Rebel cause.
Likewise, the Empire works to earn the loyalty of the Anomids with measured words and gifts (since a demonstration of
force will only serve to turn the peaceful Anomid people against them). Steady manipulation and a careful use of words
has resulted in several Anomids taking up positions on worlds controlled by the Empire.
Anomids are not considered a brave people, but not all of them run from danger. They are more apt to analyze a situation
and try to peacefully resolve matters. Because they are fond of observing other aliens, they are frequently encountered
in spaceports, and many of them can be found working in jobs that allow them to come into contact with strangers.

These bonus dice can be applied to any Technicalskill, and Anomid characters can place up to 3D in any beginning

to advance a non-Technicalskill 1D).
