Najib come from the remote world Najiba, in the Faj system. They are a species of stout, dwarf humanoids with well-muscled physiques and immense strength. While not as powerful as Wookiees or Houk, Najib are, kilogram for kilogram, just as strong. Najib have long manes on their whiskered, short-snouted heads, and a narrow ridge grows between their eyes. Najib mouths are filled with formidably sharp teeth.
The Najib are a dautless, hard-wroking species, suspicious but hospitable to strangers and loyal to friends. Members of the species are jovial, and quite fond of good drink and company. They adapt quickly and are not easily caught off-guard. They are easily angered, especially when friends are threatend; enraged, Najib make ferocious opponents.
Najiba is isolated from nearby systems by an asteroid belt known as "The Children of Najiba." During half of its orbit around the sun, the planet passes through the belt, making space travel very dangerous. The irregular orbit, along with low axial tilt, provides a state of almost perpetual spring. Storms, both rain and electrical, are common occurances.
Najiba was discovered in the early days of the Old Republic, but, due to the nearby asteroid field, it was not visited until a few centuries ago. First contact with the Najib was marginally successful; the Najib were eager to learn about the outsiders, but were suspicious as well. Eventually the Najib agreed to join the galactic government. |
