Legend

this delicate, peaceful race of near-humans was native to the planet Ropagi II. They are similar to humans in height, but they have wispy, black hair that sharply contrasts with their pale skin. Their tall, thin frames were the result of generation upon generation living in the low gravity of Ropagi II. The eyes of the Ropagu are a strange pink hue. Facial hair among males is regarded as a sort of badge of honor, although the Ropagu are a peaceful race by nature. This has not always been so, for 4,000 years before the Battle of Endor there were 45 different Ropagu nations battling with each other over which was superior. The intervention of the Kalduu race saved the Ropagu from destroying not only themselves, but their planet as well. Since then, the largest conflict the Ropagu have engaged in is a series of philosophical and theoretical debates in which the loser is encouraged to find a better argument and return to the debate. At the advent of the New Order, the Ropagu had no military whatsoever, instead turning their activity toward obtaining knowledge. The Ropagu are also excellent computer technicians, and can program nearly every programmable device in the galaxy.
