Description:
The Issori are tall, pale-skinned bipeds with webbed hands and feet; they are hairless except for their heads. The Issori face
is covered with wrinkles, usually the result of loose skin, evolution or old age. Some, however, serve a purpose, like the
wrinkles between the eyes and mouth. These function as olfactory organs, equally effective in and out of water.
The Issori have dwelled on the scarce land of Issor for untold millennia. The early Issori cities were mostly primitive ports
where each settlement could trade extensively with others. Eventually, the Issori discovered the aquatic Odenji, their cousin
species. They were thrilled to find new beings to interact, trade and dwell with them. The Issori gladly shared their (then)
feudal-level technology with the Odenji, and soon the two species were living and working together in large numbers.
The Issori and Odenji made scientific progress like never before, and within a few centuries they found themselves with
information-level technology. They immediately began a space program and a search for intelligent life. After many years, and
after colonizing the other planets of the system (and establishing their dominance over the humans of Trulalis), the Issori and
Odenji received a response to their galactic search when a Corellian scout team came to visit the planet. Despite their surprise
at finding other beings in the galaxy, the species joined the galactic community.
Several centuries ago, the Odenji entered a species-wide sadness known as the melanncho The Issori tried to help the Odenji
through this troubling period but were ultimately unsuccessful. As an unfortunate result of the melanncho, the Issori are far
more widespread than their cousin species today.
The Issori are governed by a bicameral legislature consisting of the Tribe of Issori and the Tribe of Odenji. Members of both
houses are elected by their respective species to serve for life, and their laws affect the entire system.
The Issori have merged their own space-level technological achievements with those brought to their planet by others. They have
an active export market for their quality industrial products, and are always on the look out for more. They import several
billion computers and droids a year.
Many believe the Issori to be a rambunctious and disreputable group, but this is not true; there are Issori of every conceivable
temperament. The myth has been perpetuated through the exploits of more famous Issori, many of whom are smugglers and pirates.
