Legend

this alien race was native to the remote world of Nedij. Avian in appearance, the Nediji were distinguished by their bird-like face, but were more humanoid than avian. The nose and mouth were formed from rubbery cartilage that tapered into a sharp point that resembled a beak, but the head was smooth, and the ears were flat against the skull. The skin of a Nediji was covered with what appeared to be pale blue fur or feathers, with a darker blue patch of skin beneath the chin. The fingertips of a Nediji ended in yellow talons, adding to their bird-like apperance. Most Nediji remained on their homeworld throughout their lives, living as part of the Flock. It was generally believed that travel offworld was considered taboo among the Flock. Only those who could not become members of the Flock were free to leave Nedij, and made they way in the galaxy as trackers and assassins. The number of off-world Nediji was exceptionally small, however, making their appearance in the galaxy an unusual occurrence and their innate skills relatively unknown.
