Ithorian

Ithorions
Ithorians — 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.

Special Skills:
Knowledge skills:
Agriculture. Time to use: at least one standard week. The character
has a good working knowledge of crops and animal herds, and
can suggest appropriate crops for a type of soil, or explain why
crop yields have been affected.
Ecology. Time to use: at least one standard month. The character
has a good working knowledge of the 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.
Story Factors:
Herd Ships: Many Ithorians come from herd ships, which fly from
planet to planet trading goods. Any character from one of these
worlds is likely to meet someone that they have met before if
adventuring in a civilized portion of the galaxy.
