Aqualish

Aqualish are tough, aggressive beings from the stormy, oceanic world of Ando. Feared and respected in equal measure, they are often found serving as enforcers, pirates, mercenaries, and front-line bruisers across the galaxy. Their culture is steeped in clan pride, physical dominance, and a direct, often brutal approach to conflict. Generations of territorial feuds and inter-subspecies rivalries have forged the Aqualish into resilient survivors. They trust strength more than words and are quick to test others through intimidation or open challenge. Yet beneath their rough exterior, Aqualish place great value on loyalty; once someone proves themselves in battle or hardship, they may be accepted as part of the clan’s extended circle. Adapted to aquatic environments but comfortable on land, Aqualish blend powerful physiques with natural swimming talent. They excel at close-quarters combat, boarding actions, and environments where subtlety takes a back seat to raw force. While their blunt manner and distrust of complex theories can cause friction with scholars and diplomats, there is no doubting their resolve when the fighting starts.

Home Planet: Ando
Physical Description: Aqualish have stocky, broad-shouldered builds, thick hide, and distinctive tusked faces that give them a perpetually menacing appearance. Their eyes are typically dark and deep-set, adapted to the dim waters of their homeworld. Subspecies variation leads to differences in hands and facial structure, but all share a powerful frame and strong limbs well-suited for swimming, climbing, and close-quarters brawling.

Personality & Customs: Aqualish are proud, hot-tempered, and confrontational by nature. They view directness as a virtue and see physical confrontation as a normal extension of conversation. Clan and crew loyalty runs deep, and an Aqualish will fight fiercely for those they consider part of their group. Their suspicion of intellectual posturing and layered deceit often puts them at odds with more diplomatic or academic cultures, but allies who earn their respect gain a steadfast, fearless companion.
