Legend

this humanoid race has hairless, walrus-like heads without tusks, and stringy reddish beards. A single member of the species is called a Nimbanel. The Nimbanese race is reptilian, but has a warm-blooded metabolism. As a race, they are regarded as arrogant and snobbish, but they place great value in knowledge and ethics. Native to the planet Nimban, they evolved from herbivorous creatures faced with increasingly resilient plant species. They have become highly adept at solving complex puzzles and questions, and turned to mental battles when many races would have initiated wars. They have been instrumental in the Bureau of Ships and Services and various banks throughout the galaxy, although they were once expelled from the BoSS when an ancient Nimbanel threatened to harm a BoSS family. They managed to merge back into the BoSS arena with the help fo the Hutts, who regularly employ Nimbanese as accountants and negotiators.
