Legend

a race of creatures native to the planet Kidron, the Orfites are friendly enough to those offworlders who obey their laws. This is an unusual request, considering that many of the offworlders on Kidron are criminals and convicts escaping justice. The avergae Orfite has a stocky build, and their faces are dominated by their large noses, which are filled with frilled olfactory lobes. The nose of an Orfite had evolved to pick up every trace of breathable air from the thin atmosphere of Kidron, and the Orfites had four lungs which helped get the meager oxygen supply into their bloodstream faster. Their society revolved around the sense of smell, with each Orfite exuding pheronomes which convey a variety of information. They lived in tribes known as sahhs, but every member of Orfite society was free to move about, and could join another sahh if they didn't agree with the leadership of their current tribe. The Empire considered the Orfites to be uncivilized savages, and left them alone. The basic number system of the Orfites revolved around the number four.
