Description:
Like the Yaka and the mysterious Iskalloni, the Marasans are a species of cyborged sentients. The Marasans come from the Marasa Nebula, an expanse of energized gas that effectively cut the species of from the rest of the galaxy for thousands of years. The Marasans turned to technology to free them from their dark, chaotic world, and venture into the universe. However, technology has also led them to be subjugated by the Empire.

There are 12 billion Marasans held in captive by the Empire in the Marasa Nebula. Only a few hundred Marasans have escaped from their home, and most of them are engaged in seeking aid for their people.

Special Abilities:
Cyborged Beings: Marasans suffer stun damage (add +1D to the damage value of the weapon) from any ion or DEMP weaponry or other elecrical fields which adversely affect droids. If the Marasan is injured in the attack, any first aid or medicine rolls are at +5 for a Marasan healer and +10 for a non-Marasan healer.
Computerized Mind: Marasans can solve complex problems in their minds in half the time required for other species. In combat round situations, this means they can perform two Knowledge or two Technical skills as if they were one action. However, any complex verbal communications or instructions take twice as long and failing the skill roll by any amount means that the Marasan has made a critical mistake in his or her explanation. Marasans can communicate cybernetically over a range of up to 100 meters; to outside observors, they are communicating silently.
Cybernetic Astrogation: Marasans have a nav-computer built ino their brains, giving them a +1D bonus to astrogation rolls when outside Marasa Nebula, and a +2D bonus when within the nebula. They never have to face the "no nav-computer" penalty when astrogating.
