Ishi Tib

Average Height: 1.8 meters
Average Lifespan: 200 years 
 
Of average height and physically unimposing, the race of Ishi Tib is nonetheless visually distinctive. This species sports a pair of eyes (usually somewhere between yellow to orange) with slitted pupils in set in slightly prehensile triangular stalks. They have blunt beaks, and large, open nostrils. They have three digits on each hand and foot, and often cover most of their skin (which is textured with minute grey to green scales) with leeti-silk wraps.
 
The Ishi Tib are perhaps most well-known for their homeworld of Thyferra, which produces the rare and extremely useful medicine Bacta. Their association with this world has given even the most politically unconscious Ishi Tib an edge of influence in galatic politics.
 
Because of the longstanding power and wealth of their homeworld, the Ishi Tib have developed a culture of agrarian aristocracy. Every Ishi Tib inherits a small parcel of land on Thyferra, which, unless sold (which would itself be a culturally deplorable act), provides them with a comfortable living by any galactic standards. This affluence has lead to a culture of etiquette and privilege, complimented by a thriving intellectualism. The boarding schools of Thyferra are famous for their medical training, and even business graduates emerge with a fair rudimentary skill in first aid.
