Arkanian
Hailing from the gem capital of the universe, Arkanians are tall, attractive humanoids. Though the Arkanians are overall peaceful, they do suffer from a somewhat checkered past. In the distant past, Arkania was a world of the Sith. Many Arkanians became powerful in the Dark Side, and it was only through the knowledge and wisdom of the great Jedi Master Arca Jeth that the dark powers of the world were sealed away, saving his people from destruction. More recently, the technological know-how of the Arkanians led them to another dark chapter. The Arkanians took it upon themselves to advance the people of the worlds surrounding Arkania, even when those people did not wish it. The end result was the Yaka, a race who began as hulking, primitive humanoids, now among the most brilliant peoples in the galaxy. Though the Yaka now hold no ill will towards the Arkanians, they did before, and so do many other people, who see the Arkanians as reckless. The Arkanians are also responsible for releasing cyborg mercenaries on the galaxy, Gorm the Dissolver top among them, after they had a civil war. All this aside, the Arkanians are overall a peaceful and benevolent people today, and the mineral wealth of their planet has made a fine addition to the resources of the New Republic
Arkanians appear to be almost human, but with several differences. First, they only have three fingers on each hand; not the usual four, and they have claws on these. Second, Arkanians have totally white eyes, with no colored irises or pupils.
Species Traits
+2 Constitution, +1 Intelligence, -2 Wisdom -1 Charisma. Arkanians are exceptionally hardy, and known for their intellects, but they are also somewhat vain, and often fail to see that some people don't want their "assistance". Also, their past failings involving science and the Sith has permanently marred their reputation.

Yaka
Though they were once slow-witted, hulks, the Yaka are now among the most intelligent people in the universe, while still maintaining their physical power.
Yaka appear as hulking, powerful humanoids.
Species Traits
+2 Strength, +4 Intelligence, -1 Charisma. Yaka are very strong, and they have cybernetic implants in their brain that make them smarter, but they are somewhat unappealing in appearance, and their accelerated thoughts can cause them trouble in social situations. Most people can't keep up with the Yaka when it comes to thoughts and knowledge.

A being that is addicted to spice will frequently do anything to get more of it. Despite providing some low-level telepathic abilities, the negative effects of long-term spice use are far worse than the quick fix it provides. Spice addicts are usually paranoid and have little to no control over their telepathic abilities; they frequently believe they can hear the thoughts of those around them, and that everyone is plotting against them. Spice-addicted beings usually suffer physical and mental breakdown if they do not get their daily dose of the drug, which simply increases their paranoia as well as desperation. Losing one’s addiction to spice is no easy matter and requires extensive rehabilitation. The process is often best done at special medical facilities designed to wean a user from the drug rather than remove it completely.
Ssi-Ruuk
Upon first appearance, one might imagine that the Ssi-Ruuk are creatures from out of prehistory, but it would not take long for it to become apparent that they are an intelligent, advanced, spacefaring people. Not too long after thst, those making such observations would find out how cruel the Ssi-Ruuk are, as they would be strapped into entechment rigs and drained of their vital energies for batteries. The Ssi-Ruuk are a race of bipedal reptiles who hail from their Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium, a region of space outside the borders of the Galactic Rim. Though technologically advanced, they have apparently not yet found a way around certain energy issues, and their primary source of power, the absorbed bio-energy of other species, does little to endear them to the other races of the galaxy.
