Barabel

Barabels are one of the galaxy’s most formidable reptilian species, forged by the brutal environment of Barab I — a world bathed in intense radiation and home to vicious predators. Their culture revolves around strength, survival, and unbreakable personal honor. Outsiders often see only their imposing frames, sharp claws, and glowing eyes, but those who earn a Barabel’s respect encounter a people who value loyalty, directness, and clarity of purpose above all. Barabels speak plainly and act without hesitation, preferring decisive action to political maneuvering. Their trust is hard-won, but once given, it is renowned as absolute.

Home Planet: Barab I
Physical Description: Barabels are tall, muscular reptilians with heavy tails, thick limbs, and dense black or charcoal scales capable of absorbing extreme heat and radiation. Their glowing red or yellow eyes are adapted to both darkness and harsh sunlight, while their claws and jagged teeth make them deadly in close combat. Barabel physiology is built for survival — dense bone structure, high pain tolerance, and natural resilience that few species can match.

Average Weight: 110 to 140 kilograms

Personality & Customs: Barabels are direct, intense, and fiercely loyal to those they consider clan or allies. They have little patience for deception or half-truths, viewing such tactics as signs of weakness. Strength — physical, moral, or tactical — earns their respect, and many follow strict personal codes governing honor, combat, and repayment of debts. While they traditionally distrust Jedi due to the influence of mind-altering abilities, they can develop deep bonds with individuals who prove themselves through deeds rather than words. A Barabel’s promises and alliances are treated as sacred commitments.
