Caamasi

Caamasi are gentle, contemplative pacifists whose culture is defined by empathy, memory, and moral conviction. Once prosperous members of the Galactic Republic, they suffered near-genocide when the Empire orchestrated a brutal orbital bombardment of their homeworld, Caamas, shortly after the Clone Wars. Most of those who survived were offworld at the time and later resettled in refugee communities on worlds such as Kerilt and Alderaan. Central to Caamasi identity are Memnii—intensely vivid emotional memories that can be shared with others. Through Memnii, a Caamasi can pass on not just events but the feelings and ethical weight of those moments, preserving personal, cultural, and even historical experiences. In the wake of Caamas’s destruction, Memnii became the primary way younger generations could truly know their lost world, their families, and the atrocities committed against their people. This shared legacy has only deepened their commitment to peace, reconciliation, and moral responsibility in a violent galaxy.

Home Planet: Caamas (Core Worlds); major refugee colonies on Kerilt and Alderaan
Physical Description: Caamasi are tall, lean humanoids covered in soft, downy fur. Most display golden or light-brown coats accented by distinctive purple rings around their eyes and three matching stripes that run from the top of the head down across the shoulders. Their arms are long and expressive, ending in thin, three-fingered hands well-suited to delicate work and graceful gestures. Though outwardly gentle and unthreatening, Caamasi carry a quiet dignity in their posture and movements, and their eyes often reflect a deep well of compassion and sorrow born from the loss of their homeworld.

Personality & Customs: Caamasi are thoughtful, patient, and profoundly empathetic. They place great value on forgiveness, restorative justice, and understanding the emotional truth behind events. Violence is seen as a tragic failure of wisdom, and most Caamasi will exhaust every diplomatic option before even contemplating force. Their Memnii-sharing tradition reinforces communal responsibility: memories of past kindnesses, betrayals, and atrocities become shared moral lessons that guide future decisions. Caamasi tend to excel as negotiators, mediators, counselors, and advisors. Even when traveling the wider galaxy, they instinctively seek to calm tensions and help others see beyond anger or fear—even at great personal cost.
