| Kadri'Ra |  |
| The Kadri'Ra are a species of immense sentient beings; it's possible that they are distantly related to the Duinuogwuin (or "Star Dragons"). Capable of freely existing in space for limited amounts of time, the Kadri'Ra have a reported life span of 1,000 to 1,500 standard years. However, as they are often enslaved, their average life expectancy is now only about 70 to 500 years.
They are gigantic, leviathan-like creatures who continue to grow throughout their lifetimes, protected by a hardened exoskeleton that cracks and expands with each growth cycle. At some juncture during their lives, they become so large as to be a danger to themselves. This is the time when the Kadri'Ra answer a natural instinct and take residence in a deep cavern or asteroid cave where they continue to grow, their exoskeletons conforming to the restraints of their surrounding habitation. The Kadri'Ra are great thinkers and wise beings of exceptional sensitivity; many of them speak Basic and scores of other languages. They often express themselves in creative venues such as art, poetry, debate, and philosophy. Some have shown Force-sensitivity, but they must hide their ability lest they be targeted for termination by slavers or those within the Empire. | |

Story Factors: | ||
| Enslaved: | Because of their size and strength, Kadri'Ra have been prime targets of slavers. They are often forced to work as living earth-movers or as laborers in large-scale construction projects. Because they can exist in space for limited peroids of time, they have also been used as laborers in space docks. They are not considered sentient by the Empire and are not protected by any type of law. During the time of the Old Republic, there were an estimated 140,000,000 Kadri'Ra living on their adopted homeworld, Arapia. By contrast, when Emperor Palpatine dissolved the Imperial Senate, there were less than 14,000 remaining Kadri'Ra. | |
