| Ssither |  |
| The Ssither are a serpentine species native to Jatee. They are hairless, slender beings with reptilian heads and torsos. They have heavily muscled, humanoid, upper bodies, while their lower bodies taper into long snakelike coils. Most Ssither are about two meters tall, though height varies depending on how high they rise up on their tails. Their gold orb-like eyes have no irises. Ssither can communicate vocally, but are naturally telepathic. Their ability to link minds has helped keep societal violence to a low level.
The Ssither live underground in caverns and tunnels that generations of Ssither have carved and refined. There are no actual cities, and the Ssither are not territorial creatures - they simply roam in small familial groups wherever they like. Certain groups cultivate the mushrooms, tubers, fungi, and small rodents the species subsist on, while others maintain the tunnels and caverns. These are the only specific professions embraced by the Ssither. The Ssither live in an environment which provides for all their needs. Although bright, they have not developed technologically because there has been no need or external impetus like a harsh climate or warlike neighbors. They have a limited understanding of the galaxy thanks to occasional contact with scouts and traders. | |
