Polis Massan
Category: Alien RacesAlthough not native to the former planet of Polis Massa, this race of diminutive, humanoid beings spent so much time doing archaeological work in the surrounding asteroid belt that they came to believe themselves to be the descendants of the Eellayin - the true Polis Massans. Originally known as the Kallidahin, modern Polis Massans had short, thin bodies that gave them the appearance of being children. The most unique feature of a modern Polis Massan was its face, which lacked a nose and mouth. Only a pair of tiny, deep-focus eyes broke the monotony of the pale, osmotic membrane that served as a face. Each of the modern Polis Massan's two hands had three fingers and an opposable thumb. The skin of a Polis Massan was quite thick, and grew outward from the main core, creating growth rings that showed an individual's age. The skin of the average Polis Massan was similar in many respects to that of aquatic mammals throughout the galaxy, leading many xenobiologists to believed that they were originally descended from cetaceans. Although modern Polis Massans were mute, they managed to communicate with each other by using a limited form of telepathy. When necessary, or when speaking with other races, Polis Massans used sign language or speech technology to provide a greater depth of vocabulary.
Like the Eellayin, the genetic stock of the modern Polis Massan people could be traced to a planet in the Subterrel Sector of the galaxy. In an effort to assist with learning more about the former inhabitants of Polis Massa, the modern Polis Massans traveled to Kamino to learn about cloning techniques. These techniques were brought back to the Local Dig settlement, where the Polis Massans recreated ancient lifeforms from any scrap of genetic material they discovered. As a people, the Polis Massans were known for their loyalty and their ability to keep secrets. These traits were never more obvious than when the Polis Massans at the Local Dig site kept the secret of Padme' Amidala's delivery of her twins, Luke and Leia, in the wake of the Clone Wars.
