The Gands are a species of sentient life that has developed in the gases of the planet Gand.

Biology and Appearance

Although the Gands are able to survive in the various gases of their home planet, they require a special breathing apparatus in order to survive in oxygen-based atmospheres. The lungs of the Gand are quite efficient, able to utilize nearly 85 percent of the atmosphere they breathe in with each breath. It was discovered, after the Galactic Civil War, that the Gand have certain regenerative properties.

Gands have a stocky humanoid with an insectoid appearance. The Gand body is covered in a chitinous exoskeleton that served as a natural, durable armor that allowed them to shrug off injuries that would have crippled most other species. The Gand exoskeleton provided extra protection in the clavicle region, which prevents most nerve or pressure point strikes to the neck and shoulder.

Gands have a large compound eyes with a visual range that include the ultraviolet spectrum and allowed for excellent night vision. They however are not able to see colors in absolute darkness. A Gand's eyes are shielded by a keratinous substance that protect it from airbourne debris. A Gands natural eye colors vary from silver to grey to black to yellow.

Society and Culture

The Gand have developed a totalitarian monarchy, and various colonies of Gand live in pockets of mist in the gas giant's atmosphere. When renegade Gand are sought, findsmen are sent out to locate them. When the Empire overran the planet, the findsmen were presented with advanced technology with which to hunt their targets. The better findsmen became bounty hunters.

The Gand hold their names in great reverence. A Gand who has accomplished nothing in his life is simply known as 'Gand'. When a Gand completes a task, they are given their family's surname. A further accomplishment provides the Gand with a proper name. Pronouns are almost never used, and are reserved for those famous Gand who have accomplished so much that their deeds are known by all. If a Gand does something to be ashamed of, or causes offence to another Gand, their name is reduced.
