Bith

Bith have been part of the Galactic Republic for thousands of years, renowned for their towering intellect, precision thinking, and refined culture. Their enlarged, highly evolved brains are optimized for abstract skills such as language, mathematics, music, and scientific analysis, while primal instincts and aggressive drives have atrophied over time. This neurological shift makes Bith exceptionally good at complex reasoning, problem-solving, and artistic composition. Instead of conventional sleep, they enter a deep meditative trance; four hours of this focused rest restores them as effectively as a full night’s sleep for most species. Culturally, Bith view warfare as an abhorrent failure of reason. Their pacifism is not naïve idealism but the hard-earned result of tragedy: a devastating corporate conflict on their homeworld unleashed biological weapons that ravaged the planet’s surface and ecosystems. In the aftermath, survivors sealed themselves inside domed cities, while many ambitious Bith emigrated across the galaxy. Even centuries later, Bith philosophy treats their civil conflict as a cautionary tale about unchecked greed, militarization, and the cost of violence.

Home Planet: Clak'dor VII
Physical Description: Bith are hairless, near-Human humanoids with tall, domed craniums, large black eyes, and smooth skin that ranges from gray and pink to yellow or greenish tones. Their oversized heads house dense, highly folded brains, and their eyes can perceive a wide spectrum of wavelengths, granting them exceptional visual acuity at close range and even down to microscopic details—though they struggle with long-range focus. Bith lack an external nose, instead smelling through specialized olfactory folds and organs on their faces, and they respire partially through their skin. Though they possess no visible ears, their hearing is extraordinarily sensitive, capable of isolating individual sounds within dense noise, which contributes to their reputation as master musicians and sound engineers.

Average Height: 1.7 meters
Average Weight: 75 kilograms
Age of Adulthood: 16 standard years

Personality & Customs: Bith are calm, analytical, and highly rational, preferring debate, research, and careful planning over impulsive action. Their society prizes technical expertise, education, and artistic excellence, especially in music and acoustic engineering. The memory of the Nozho–Weogar conflict and the bio-weapons that scarred Clak'dor VII has left Bith culture deeply suspicious of militarism and arms industries, and most Bith advocate for negotiation and disarmament whenever possible. Offworld, they are often encountered as engineers, programmers, teachers, scientists, and performers—particularly in bands and orchestras. Even when individual Bith develop stronger personalities or quirks, they tend to approach problems with logic first, resorting to violence only when every other option has failed.
