Ah, Rodians. The sucker-faced, huge-eyed, crested green aliens, whose charm is exceeded only by their caution. Not particularly strong, not particularly fast, Rodians are nevertheless distinguished by strong senses of sight, smell, and hearing--their rounded, stalk-mounted ears can swivel at the least sound.
 
Rodians breed as rampantly as humans, and are highly sexed. Thanks to their propensity for polygamy, they are one of the most numerous Outer Rim species, and can be found from the Y'Toub system to Ryloth on one hand, Dantooine on the other. Typically, they work for Hutts, but they've been known to work for anyone with a steady stream of credits.
 
The most salient feature of the Rodian species, however, is their utter disregard for sentient life, which is matched only by sentient life's utter disregard for Rodians. The two combine to seriously shorten the average Rodian lifespan. The only thing which prevents a Rodian from slitting his mama's throat for a credit is his mama's willingness to slit his throat for free. What with speeder accidents, firefights, barfights, drunken roof-leaping, hunting, games of speeder chicken, and drinking contests which only end when the med-droids are called, few Rodians ever see thirty.
