Adarian

"Adarians are a stubborn people. Once they've made up their minds, it's almost impossible to change them."

- Carlist Rieekan

Adarians are best known for their mining and manufacturing operations, as well as a civilization that's never been blemished by civil strife. Adari, their homeworld, is run as though it were a corporation. Adarian society is divided into strict castes that determine what role each member will undertake, with the higher castes having absolute authority over the lower ones.

Personality
Adarians carefully weigh their options before reaching any decision, but one the decision is made, they are rarely moved to change their minds. Adarians implicitly trust the judgment of those of higher status, and only the most flippant and rebellious Adarian would disregard orders or advice from a member of a higher caste. Adarians have keen minds for business and a natural drive to succeed. They devote considerable time and energy to ensure the prosperity of their businesses.

Physical Description
Adarians are hairless humanoids with elongated heads that have a hole clear through from one side to the other. Adults stand about 1.7 meters tall and come in a variety of vibrant skin colors (commonly blue or yellow). Members of the same caste tend to have a similar coloration.

Homeworld
Archaeologists believe that Adarians did not originate on  Adari  (located in the Inner Rim), but rather migrated to the planet thousands of years ago. The planet is now the seat of the Adarian government, which operates like a corporation.

Language
Adarians speak Adarese, a language that uses largely tonal inflections. Their rigid mouths make languages such as Basic difficult to speak without a heavy accent.
