Woostoid
Woostoids
[edit]Woostoids inhabit the planet Woostri, a nexus for information exchange and storage in the New Republic. In the days of the Old Republic, Woostoids were often selected to maintain records for Republic databases, and are still noted for their record keeping and data management abilities. Woostoids are highly knowledgeable in the field of computer design and programming, and have remarkably efficient, analytical minds.Since the Woostoids are so adept at computer technology, a substantial portion of Woostri is computer controlled, which has helped to weed out a number of tasks that the Woostoids felt could be automated.
Since so much of Woostoid society is handled by computers, they have a large amount of free time and a substantial portion of their economy is geared towards recreation. Woostoids are of average height (by human standards), but are extremely slender. They have reddish-orange skin and flowing reddish hair. They have bulbous, pupil-less eyes that rarely blink.
Traditionally, they wear long, flowing robes of bright, reflective cloth. Woostoids are a peaceful species, and the concept of warfare and fighting is extremely disconcerting to them. Woostoids tend to think about situations in a very orderly manner, trying to find the logical ties between events. When presented with facts that seemingly have no logical pattern, they become very confused and disoriented.
History:
[edit]Woostoids also had an affinity for order and structure, which caused them to support the Empire despite their aversion to Palpatine's militaristic ways. A controversial view held by many Woostoids (even after Woostri joined the New Republic) was that the Empire could have led to a galactic paradise were it not for its warlike ways. Woostoids were disoriented by chaotic, illogical situations.
Bureaucracies across the galaxy employed Woostoids in high-level positions to put their analytical minds to work. On Woostri, much of the economy was geared towards recreation due to the leisure time permitted by their automated civilization, and Woostoids welcomed tourists from diverse species to their homeworld.

Special Abilities
[edit]- Computer Programming/repair: Woostoids have an almost instinctual ability to operate and manage complex computer networks. Woostoids receive a +2D bonus whenever they use their computer programming/repair skill.
Story Factors
[edit]- Logical minds: The Woostoids are very logical creatures. When presented with situations that are seemingly beyond logic (such as Thrawn's "super weapon" ploy), they become extremely confused, and all die codes are reduced by -1D.
