Narn

"'Ah the Narn, the Seesaw Species of the Galaxy."

Othosaz High General Glurggihhu at the beginning of the Second Pact Occupation of Narn. ''

The Narn are a hardy humanoid race native to the arid planet of Narn. They had weathered 3 occupations, one from the Quvorite and two by the Othosaz.

Biology
The Narn body is built for their homeworld's environment. Their speckled leathery skin helps retains moisture and prevent severe sun burns from their extremely powerful star. They are seriously physically strong for their size and can overpower a similar sized individual. When the Narn fight and receive significant damage, they can go into a rage form in which they gain muscle mass from out of thin air, eyes turn bright red, and can shrug off damage for a time.

Culture
Before the First occupation, the Narn society was vastly different. The Narn used to be peaceful and art and love was touted as essential. Narn culture now is based on respect, strength and the continuity and survivability of the family unit or "brood". Broods are matriarchal dominant and younger narns tend to respect older females. Males can become heads but its rare. Broods only grow through arrange marriages as a sealant for agreements by parents. Strength became a priority after the 1st Liberation of Narn. They see it as their power to do what needs to be done and those that thought otherwise will not survive the next battle. Respect is also a big deal. Disrespecting, harming, or even killing a member of a brood will have the rest of brood put a Chon-Kar, or a vow of vengeance on the assailant. This Chon-kar would not end until the one who wronged the brood is dead or all members of the brood are dead.
