Legend

although not native to the former planet of Polis Massa, this race of diminutive, humanoid beings spent so much time doing archaeological work in the surrounding asteroid belt that they came to believe themselves to be the descendants of the Eellayin - the true Polis Massans. The average modern Polis Massan had a short, thin body that gave them the appearance of being children. The most unique feature of a modern Polis Massan was its face, which lacked a nose and mouth. Only a pair of tiny, deep-focus eyes broke the monotony of the pale, osmotic membrane that served as a face. Although modern Polis Massans were capable of a form of speech, they preferred to use a limited form of telepathy to communicate with each other. Each of the modern Polis Massan's two hands had three fingers and an opposable thumb. Like the Eellayin, the genetic stock of the modern Polis Massan people could be traced to a planet in the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy. In an effort to assist with learning more about the former inhabitants of Polis Massa, the modern Polis Massans traveled to Kamino to learn about cloning techniques. These techniques were brought back to the Local Dig settlement, where the Polis Massans recreated ancient lifeforms from any scrap of genetic material they discovered.
