Description:
The Sanyassans have ape-like faces, scaly gray skin, and are on average over two meters tall.
A brutal reptilian species from the planet Sanyassa. Most Sanyassans do not speak Basic, but have their own language and write
in hieroglyphs. Many Sanyassans - appropriately also known as "Marauders" - are known to prey on others without any reason at
all, which leads many of them to live as space pirates. However, their skill in space piracy is limited, as even the best pilots
among Sanyassans have trouble with the simplest of piloting manoeuvres.
Sanyassans are long-lived and have sturdy bodies. They are two or more meters tall, although dwarf Sanyassans are not uncommon.
They are wont to invent lofty titles for themselves within their social structure, but not quite so quick to understand their
own invented titles. Most Sanyassans fear being alone, which is why they choose to live cloistered together. Sanyassan society
is so warlike that they will choose to maintain barely-working weaponry and armour for decades at almost any cost, rather than
to take up a more passive lifestyle. Their rough, four-fingered hands are much more likely to be wrapped tightly around a blaster
than tapping away at a computer console.
Special Abilities:
Leathery Skin: Provides a +1 pip bonus to Strength rolls made to resist physical damage.
Story Factors:
Bad Temper: Sanyassans are best known for their foul tempers. If provoked, the Sanyassan in
question must succeed at a Difficult Willpower skill roll or fly into a rage. While raging, Sanyassan characters gain +2 pips to
their Strength attribute, a –2 pip penalty to any defensive skill rolls (Dodge, Brawling Parry, etc.) and are only interested in
beating the offending party to a pulp.
