Flesh Raider

Flesh Raider
Flesh Raiders are the “native” sentient species of Tython and several other planets in the Deep Core. They are the degenerate descendants of the fallen Rakata Infinite Empire’s warrior caste, though they have mutated to the point that they can no longer be truly called Rakata by their own standards. Still, they retain a quality that the Rakata no longer possess: the ability to use the Force. Flesh Raiders are bulky creatures with numerous vestigial amphibian traits. They can be found on numerous worlds the Rakata once owned, usually deep under the ground or in hard to access regions (like mountains or deep jungles).

Personality: Flesh Raiders are tribal, carnivorous, and stupid. They’re the forgotten remnants of the warrior caste of an ancient empire long since vanished and unable to rescue them. They’ve survived by being vicious. They have limited access to starship travel, they sometimes steal ships from those unlucky enough to land near one of their encampments. This has allowed them to contact other Flesh Raiders in the Deep Core and form a vicious community of pirates.

Physical Description: Flesh Raiders are humanoids with carnivorous-amphibian traits. They have black-eyes at the end of eyestalks on wide heads, with gaping mouths full of sharp teeth. Their bodies are squat and wide with fat and muscle, but they’re still as tall or taller than humans. Their skin tends to be brown colored, though red, blue, and black skinned varieties also exist.

Homeworld: They originated on a world deep in the unknown regions, but they now call Tython in the Deep Core home. Small tribes of them exist on numerous worlds in the deep core and closer to the edges of Unknown Space. Some in the Tion Cluster claim to have similarly come across members of this species.
