Neimoidian

Neimoidians are a humanoid species native to the planet of Neimoidia, while also settling wealthy purse-worlds like Cato Neimoidia. They have smooth noseless faces, mottled green-gray skin, and large red-orange eyes. In the waning years of the Galactic Republic, they ran the Trade Federation, a vast consortium of business interests. As such, they ended up joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems and helped start the Clone Wars.  

Physiology

  The Neimoidians are a sentient species. They are humanoid in form, having two arms, two legs, a torso and a single head. They have smooth, mottled green-gray skin and large, red-orange eyes with a pupil that split it horizontally. Adult individuals are known to be tall, ranging from 1.9 to 2.11 meters. Neimoidians have long, bony hands with five pointed fingers, one of which is an opposable thumb. Overall, they look very similar to the Duros, a species of thin, tall humanoids with slit mouths, large eyes and no nose. Although many Neimoidians are lean, obese individuals are not unheard of.   Raised in hives before taking their adult form, Neimoidians spend the first seven years of life as "grubs," maggot-like larvae that are forced to compete with each other over a limited food supply. Only those that hoard the most food survive.  

Society

      Throughout the galaxy, the Neimoidians are known for their business skills and their greed. They wear elaborate, flaunting clothes that included hats, cloaks and drapes. A colonial species, they have migrated and adapted to dominate many worlds.They have no qualms about enslaving other sentients. Neimoidian office drones are given a restricted diet to ensure that they never fully emerged from their grub stage, and, to enforce competitiveness, Neimoidian work overseers assign identical work to two teams of worker drones, with the incentive that the successful team eats the other. High-ranking Neimoidians often owned mechno-chairs, a type of self-propelled chair that moved on a set of four articulated legs. One high-ranking Nemoidian occupy a position known as "Trade monarch."    

Language

  Pak-Pak, also known as Neimoidian, is a language spoken by members of the Neimoidian species. It has no word for "nurturing," as the concept seemed absent from the species' psychology. The Outer Rim world Lah'mu was named from a Neimoidian word meaning "prosperity."  

Homeworld

  Neimodians are originally from the planet Neimodia.
