Description:
Xexto are natives of the planet Troiken, where (like Ewoks and Wookiees) they live in treeborne villages. Gasgano the podracer
is a member of this species.
Xexto should not be confused with the similarly long-necked and larger Quermian species (such as Yarael Poof), although
Quermians are distantly related to the Xexto.
Biology and Appearance:
Xexto speak the language Xextese. Xexto have 24 fingers and 6 arms (two are used as legs). Their eyes are normally purple.
Their skin can range from chalk white to pale yellow. Their brain is split between two parts of their body; the part located in
the skull controlls primitive emotions and basic body functions, while another portion in their chest controlls higher functions
such as creative thinking and logic.
On their homeworld, the primary predator of the species are vicious challat eaters, which are defied through both agility and
cunning.
Xexto admire thrill-seeking and taking big risks. Despite this, Xexto are fairly level headed and cool tempered.
History:
The Xexto were first discovered during the Galactic Republic in 17,000 BBY, by an Arkanian geneticist looking to continue
illegal research outlawed by the Galactic Senate. At the time the Xexto were loosely organized into hunter-gatherer tribes on
Troiken. The geneticist relocated a portion of the population to the nearby Quermia and commenced experimentation. This
experimentation lead to a new species called the Quermians. Eventually the geneticist abandoned both species, fearing the wrath
of the Old Republic.
Although vastly different in size, the Quermians continued to share many qualities with their smaller cousins. Both possessed
their elongated necks for peering above mats of vegetation, while (from a purely sociological standpoint) both races preferred
to hide their second set of arms under clothing for decorum's sake.
Neither of the species would remain primitive, and were developing technologically advanced civilizations by the time Republic
scouts contacted them. Both the Quermians and the Xexto joined the galactic community soon thereafter.
During the time of the Stark Hyperspace War, most Xexto hated both the Stark Combine and the Republic.
Special Abilities:
Four Arms: Xexto have four arms. Separate actions performed by each arm still incur the
normal -1D penalty for every action past the first. The arms are specifically suited to climbing, and Xexto characters receive
a +1D bonus to all climbing/jumping skill rolls that involve climbing.
Quick Reflexes: Xexto gain a +1D bonus to all Perception rolls made to determine initiative.
Story Factors:
Foolhardiness: Though typically mild-mannered and eventempered, Xexto admire and encourage
risk-taking. Other species assume this means that Xexto are foolhardy. One sure way to anger a Xexto is to call him a coward.
