Their shipbuilding skills were attributed to the need to produce vessels which could safely navigate the Roche asteroids. The Roche Hive Mechanical Apparatus Design and Construction Activity for Those Who Need the Hive's Machines, more commonly known simply as "Roche", was a Verpine-owned droid manufacturer which met with limited success with models like the [[8D Smelter Droid]] and the [[J9 Worker Drone]].

New page

VerpineTall, bipedal insectoids, Verpine are an advanced species well known for their technological

accomplishments.  They have thin, stick-like bodies with awkwardlyarticulated joints. Flexible plate of

chitinous material covers their bodies.  They have two huge black eyes, short snouts, and small,

toothless mouths. Two antennae jut from the sides of their heads.The species lives in the Roche Asteroid Field, an old and orderly collection of space debris with

asteroids ranging in size from tiny meteorites to large planetoids.  The asteroids maintain an orbit

pattern that is almost regular, and a large number of space slugs and mynocks also make their home

among the swirling rocks.While it is almost certain that the Verpine did not evolve on the lifeless asteroids, they have gone to

considerable trouble to establish homes within the drifting chunks of frozen rock. Some speculate that

the Verpine were wandering nomads who decided to settle in among the asteroids for some unknown reason.

A second theory states that the Verpine inhabited a planet in the same orbit as the asteroid field, and

as the planet slowly disintegrated into space debris they found ways to live on the asteroid which

remained. The Verpine themselves have legends that speak of a catastrophic civil war, believing that

the asteroid field is all that remains of their aggressive foolishness.Verpine have evolved from especially hardy insects.  Their large black eyes are adaptations of

insectoid compound eyes, giving them the ability to see nearly microscopic detail with clarity and

precision. Their antennae contain tympanic nerves which detect sound wave vibrations and relay them to

the brain. They also pick up radio waves, and Verpine can generate their own radio emissions by

controlling their biological frequency modulation. Their nervous system has an unusually powerful

electromagnetic aura, and the Verpine can communicate through these emissions with other members of

their species.This biological radio network spans the asteroid field, allowing each member of the colony to remain in

nearly constant contact with the others. Some species see this as a form of telepathy, but it is simply

a mode of organic telecommunication.The Verpine are innate experts in most fields of technology. They have a child-like sense of wonder as

far as machinery is concerned. This expertise and wonder has been put to good use in the asteroid

field, where they have hollowed out rocks to use as colonies.  The asteroids are sealed against vacuum

and the cold of space, creating living and working space for twenty to one hundred inhabitants,

depending on the size of the asteroid. Some of the larger planetoids near the center of the field

contain cities of one thousand Verpine or more.Each colony is self-sufficient, producing all of the energy, food, air and water the inhabitants need

to survive. Repulsor field shells envelop inhabited asteroids, creating bubbles which harmlessly

reflect debris and other asteroids. Because their lives depend on it, the Verpine have a great respect

and understanding of technology and machinery.Starship building has been one area the Verpine have excelled at, and they have earned their reputation

over and over again with their unique and functional designs.  The Slayn & Korpil Corporation, named

for two neighboring Verpine colonies, has been a respected name in starship design since the days of

the Old Republic, and many Verpine joined the efforts of the Rebellion during the galactic civil war.

Today they remain members of the New Republic, though Verpine can be found securely established in

private and fringe society.All Verpine colonies are unified in a single hive. They have developed a limited form of communal

consciousness due to their organic telecommunications abilities.  Every member of the hive takes part

in the decisionmaking process, and a single Verpine in contact with the communal consciousness can

speak with complete authority for the entire hive. (for more information, see pages 91-92 of Galaxy Guide 4: Alien Races.) • Verpine Attribute Dice: 12D DEXTERITY 1D+1/3D KNOWLEDGE 1D+1/3D MECHANICAL 1D+2/3D+2 PERCEPTION 1D+1/4D STRENGTH ID+1/3D TECHNICAL 2D/5D Special Abilities:Body Armor: The Verpine's natural chitinous plate armor gives them a +1D bonus against physical

attacks.Microscopic Sight: +1D bonus to search when looking for small objects, due to their highly evolved

eyes.Organic Telecommunication: Because Verpine can send and receive radio waves through their antenna, they

have the ability to communicate with other members of their species and with specially-tuned comlinks.

The range is very limited when they are acting individually (1 km) but greatly increases when in the

hive (covers the entire Roche asteroid field). Technical Bonus: All Verpine receive a +2D bonus when using their Technical skills. Move: 10/13Size: 1.9 meters

	Verpine were thin bipedal insectoids, standing 1.9 meters tall on average. Unlike many insectoids, including the Kibnon to which they were distantly related, the Verpine had only four limbs (two arms and two legs), though there were instances of Verpine growing vestigial wings. Their heads were dominated by large, black, compound eyes. They also had two antennae, one located behind each eye. Their hardened carapace, composed of a green chitinous substance called carahide, was as flexible as the skin of other creatures, yet tough enough to deflect a blade or even absorb a glancing blaster bolt. The Verpine circulatory system did not contain a heart — at least, not an organ which Human physiologists would identify as a heart.

	Verpine eyes were keen enough to pick out microscopic details. Their antennae contained tympanic nerves which picked up sound. Their antennae were also sensitive to radio waves, giving Verpine the natural ability to sense and transmit radio waves to communicate with another Verpine in their language over distances on the order of one hundred kilometers. Some observers mistook this nearly instant, silent communication for true telepathy. Thanks to their natural radio communication network, their colonies were run as a consensus democracy, with all Verpine instantly consulted on questions affecting the hive.

	The Verpine people did not evolve in the asteroids of the Roche ~~system~~. Each inhabited asteroid was only made livable through the creation of artificial, self-sustaining environments in the interior. Some observers thought that the Roche asteroids were the remains of a Verpine homeworld which had broken up either slowly through natural forces, or suddenly as a result of a catastrophic civil war. Others theorized that the Verpine were descended from extra-galactic nomads who settled in the Roche asteroid field. The Verpine simply told outsiders that they were unaware of the location of their original homeworld.		The Verpine people did not evolve in the asteroids of the [[Roche System]].

	Whether it was due to the after-effects of this ancient civil war, or because of the political uniformity and egalitarianism of their civilization, the Verpine were a peaceful people, expert arbitrators who preferred compromise to conflict. The large insects had long been a spacefaring race and had colonized the Roche asteroid belts before the Old Republic was born.

	In later years, Verpine engineering was exemplified by the starship manufacturer Slayn & Korpil, which built the famous V-19 Torrent starfighter for the Galactic Republic and the B-wing ~~starfighter~~ for the Rebel Alliance. Their shipbuilding skills were attributed to the need to produce vessels which could safely navigate the Roche asteroids. The Roche Hive Mechanical Apparatus Design and Construction Activity for Those Who Need the Hive's Machines, more commonly known simply as "Roche", was a Verpine-owned droid manufacturer which met with limited success with models like the 8D ~~smelter droid~~ and the J9 ~~worker drone~~.

	In 8 ABY, the Verpines broke a number of contracts with the Barabels to produce starships. They claimed that a "mad" hive mother had taken the ships, and given the nature of their society they were under no obligation to retrieve the ships. The Barabels did not see it in the same light, and began negotiating with Kubaz chefs for the sale of Verpine body parts to use in their cuisine. In response to this, the New Republic planned to send Leia Organa Solo to mediate the situation. The situation deteriorated rapidly when a Barabel ship was discovered with frozen Verpine parts. A fleet was sent to avert a war between the species, and Mon Mothma herself traveled to mediate.		In 8 ABY, the Verpines broke a number of contracts with the Barabels to produce starships.

	During the Swarm War, some Verpine who were addicted to the Gorog Nest's black membrosia acted on the side of the Killiks, including procuring B-wings and Verpine shatterguns for the Killik forces. The Killiks attempted to invade the Verpine capital asteroid, Nickel One, and overthrow their government. The attempt was foiled by the actions of the Jedi Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade Skywalker and Jacen Solo.

The attempt was foiled by the actions of the Jedi Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade Skywalker and Jacen Solo.

	During the Second Galactic Civil War, the Verpine accused the people of Murkhana of breaking trade agreements by producing technology similar to theirs. They signed a non-aggression pact with the Mandalorians because of their fear that the Mandalorians would expand their borders once again and invade Verpine territory. The treaty was simple: the Mandalorians would supply their best export, military strength, while the Verpines would supply defense technology and quality control.

	Following their experiences with Imperial attacks, the Verpine developed the IX-6 ~~heavy combat droid~~ to aid in their defense of the asteroid settlements. Sometime after the establishment of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire in 130 ABY, Roche was ordered by Imperial officials to immediately cease the production of the IX-6 and destroy all existing models. Unwilling to succumb to the Empire, Verpine spread the factories throughout the Roche asteroid belt, hiding them deep in the asteroids which appeared abandoned from the surface. When the Empire learned of the defiance, a fleet of Star Destroyers blasted several heavily populated Verpine asteroids to dust. The massacre, however, did not break the will of the Verpine species and Roche continued to produce new IX-6 and smuggle them to anyone who could afford them.<br />		Following their experiences with Imperial attacks, the Verpine developed the [[IX-6 Heavy Combat Droid]] to aid in their defense of the asteroid settlements.

	Many of the Verpine who left their home system found work as starship technicians. Most of them met with success, though some of them would get in trouble for continually making unauthorized, sometimes dangerous, "improvements" to the equipment they maintained. Others used their experience with Verpine communal decision making to act as professional arbitrators and negotiators. At least one Verpine, Beyghor Sahdett, became a Jedi, and managed to survive Order 66, killing a large number of clone troopers in the process.
