Description:
The Mon Calamari are an itelligent, bipedal, salmon-colored amphibious species with webbed hands, high-domed heads, and huge eyes.

Unfortunately, the Calamari system is currently under a complete trade embargo. This situation should be rectified once hostilities between the Empire and the Rebels cease.

In the few years that the Mon Calamari have dealt with the Empire, they have possibly suffered more than any other species. Repeated attempts by the Empire to "protect" them have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths.

The Empire did not see this new alien species as an advanced people with which to trade. The Empire saw an advanced world with gentle, and, therefore, unintelligent, beings ripe for conquest, and it was decided to exploit this "natural slave species" to serve the growing Imperial war machine.

Initially, the Mon Calamari tried passive resistance, but the Empire responded to the defiance by destroying three floating cities as an example of its power. The response from the Calamarians was unexpected, as this peaceful species with no history of war rose up and destroyed the initial invasion force (with only minor help from the Rebellion).

Now, the Calamari system serves as the only capital ship construction facility and dockyard controlled by the Alliance. The Empire, preoccupied with controlling other rebellious systems, has been unable to mount an assault on these shipyards.

Large numbers of Mon Calamari have chosen to serve in many facets of the Imperial fleet, providing support for the military as it fights to restore peace to Calamari.

Special Abilities:
Dry Environments: When in very dry environments, Mon Calamari seem depressed and withdrawn. They suffer a -1D bonus to all Dexterity, Perception, and Strength attribute and skill checks. Again, this is psychological only.
Moist Environments: When in moist environments Mon Calamari receive a +1D bonus to all Dexterity, Perception, and Strength attribute and skill checks. This is a purely psychological advantage.

Special Skills:
Enslaved: Prior to the Battle of Endor, most Mon Calamari not directly allied with the Rebel Alliance were enslaved by the empire and in labor camps. Imperial officials have placed a high priority on the capture of any "free" Mon Calamari due to their resistance against the Empire. They were one of the first systems to openly declare their support for the Rebellion.
