The Gacerites of the hot, desert world, Gacerian, average 2.5 meters in height, and are thin humanoids with spindly limbs. They are completely hairless. Gacerite eyes are tiny, in order to protect their optic nerves from their sun's glare. Their ears, however, are huge and exceptionally keen.
Unfortunately, the mixture of the artist creative mind and the strictness of order make for a rather bad social combination; the Gacerites are extremely poor at governing themselves. Thus, they welcome the order imposed by the Empire on their world. The Imperial Governor meets once every Gacerian week with a group of Gacerites and goes over routine matters. The Gacerites are very pro-Imperial and report all suspected Rebel operatives to the governor.
Thanks to their cultural sensitivity to matters of etiquette, Gacerites make excellent translators and diplomatic aides. Many travelers who own 3PO units seek out Gacerite programmers to improve their droids.
Gacerian is famous for its high-quality gemstones. The Gacerites mine them using the most advanced known, sonic mining equipment. This is probably the most manual labor done by the delicate Gacerites. The Gacerites, at the governor's insistence, are considered employees rather than slaves of the Empire. |
