Ithorions
IthorionsIthorians — also known by the derogatory term "hammerhead" — are large, graceful creatures from the
Ottega star system. They have a long neck, which curls forward and ends in a dome-shaped head.Ithorians are perhaps the greatest ecologists in the galaxy: they have a technologically advanced
society, but have devoted most of their efforts to preserving the natural and pastoral beauty of their
homeworld's tropical jungles. Ithorians live in great herd cities, which hover above the surface of
the planet. The Ithorians are extremely devoted to maintaining ecological balance, striving to preserve
what they reverently refer to as their "Mother Jungle."Ithorians often find employment as artists, agricultural engineers, ecologists and diplomats. Many
Ithorian traders travel the galaxy in enormous "herd ships" that are masterpieces of comfort and
environmental engineering. Typically a peace-loving and gentle people, the Ithorians are reluctant to
participate in the galactic civil war, though a few have allied themselves with the Rebellion.Average Ithorian. Dexterity 2D, Knowledge 2D+2, Mechanical 1D+1, Perception 2D+1, Strength 2D,

interdependent nature of ecospheres, and can determine how proposed changes will affect the sphere.This skill can be used in one minute to determine the probable role of a life-form within its
biosphere: predator, prey, symbiote, parasite or some other quick description of its ecological niche.
