Description:
"Ruurians are quite good at persuasion."
-Grodin Tierce
The Ruurians are an insectoid species native to Ruuria. They generally avoid taking risks. Their government is the Unified
Ruurian Colonies. On the planet Ruuria, the Ruurians' society is comprised of 143 colonies, and every Ruurian belongs to a
single colony for life.
Language: Ruurese
Life Stages:
Ruurians go through three stages during their lives.
Stage One
They are born as fourteen-legged larvae with each leg having four opposable fingers. First stage Ruurians also have fine, wide
antennae on their heads, and large, multifaceted eyes. The larval Ruurians are also the most intelligent, artistic and creative
members of the species, and are responsible for running Ruuria.
Stage Two
The second stage of Ruurian life was the pupa stage. The larva spun a cocoon around themselves, and were transformed into the
third stage of the Ruurian life cycle, the beautiful Chroma-Wing Fliers.
Stage Three
The third and final stage of Ruurian life was the Chroma-Wing Flier stage. Stage three Ruurians were simple-minded creatures only
interested in eating, flying and mating. They also had no interest in working.
Ruurians in the Galaxy:
The Ruurians established a number of colonies in the Galaxy that functioned as independent units. Many of these were joint
efforts with other species. These were known as the Ruurian independent colonies. Three of these colonies, and the homeworld of
Ruuria, pledged their support to "Grand Admiral Thrawn" during the Caamas Document Crisis. They signed a fully executed treaty
between their systems and the Empire after "Thrawn" repelled a Diamala attack. It turned out this Thrawn was actually an
imposter, Flim, an actor used in an attempt to revitalise the waning Imperial Remnant.
These colonies were led by a female Ruurian, Amisus. She was the daughter of the historian Skynx—perhaps the most notable
Ruurian. In 2 BBY he assisted Han Solo on an adventure to Dellalt, in search of the treasure of Xim the Despot. Together they
found his flagship, the Queen of Ranroon and the remains of his war droid army.
An early famous Ruurian was Shimer Londalin, who won—in a holocam finish—the "decaped-plus" category of the Mobquet Presents:
Fastest Land Beings event held on Teyr in 22 BBY.
Special Abilities:
Extra Limbs: A Ruurian has ten spindly arms. These hands may be used to manipulate equipment

a single round.
Expert Climber: Gains +2D to all Climbing rolls.
Expert Linguist: Ruurian larvae gain +2D when trying to Persuade. Ruurian chroma-wings lose
the ability to speak or comprehend additional languages.

knock it prone.
