Entymals are native to Endex, a canyon-riddled world located deep in Imperial space. The tall humanoids are insects with hardened, lanky exoskeletons which shimmer a metallic-jade color in sunlight. Their small, bulbous heads are dominated by a pair of jewel-like eyes. Extending from each wrist joint to the side of the abdomen is a thin, chitinous membrane. When extended, this membrane forms a sail which allows the Entymal to glide for short distances.
Entymal society is patterned in a classical hive arrangement, with numerous barren females serving a queen and her court of male drones. The only Entymals which reproduce are the male drones and female queens. Each new generation is consummated in an elborate mating ritual which also doubles as a death ritual for the male Entymals involved.
All Entymals find displays of affection by other species confusing. Most male Entymals in general find the entire pursuit of human love disquieting and disaggreeable.
Entymals are technologically adept, and their brain patterns make them especially suitable for jobs requiring a finely honed spatial sense. They have unprecedented reputations as excellent pilots and navigators.
With the rise of the Empire and its corporate allies, tens of thousands of Entymals have been forcibly removed from their ancestral hive homeworld and pressed into service as scoop ship pilots and satellite minors in the gas mines of Bextar.
Sadly, few other Entymals are able to qualify for BoSS piloting licenses. Except for the Entymals bound for Bextar aboard one of Amber Sun Mining's transports, Entymals are fobidden to leave Endex. |
