Anarrian

*Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Unknown Regions*

Like the Altiri, the Anarrians are a Near-Human Species, although they evolved on the western continent of the world they call Anarris. Their society emphasizes the physical aspects of life, and it places great value on strength of body. As a result of this philosophy, Anarrians lead a militaristic lifestyle. By refining themselves through combat and physical development, Anarrians strive to achieve perfection and a higher status in life. They feel that their war against the Altiri is the perfect testing ground for their beliefs.

Most Anarrians are citizens of The Anarrian Empire, the government that reigns over the planet's western continent and many of the islands nearby. Since its inception around the time of The Mandalorian Wars, the Empire has fought to gain dominance over the Altiri and establish its rule over the world. Thanks to their perpetual state of military readiness and training, the Anarrians are prepared to launch an assault on any who stand in their way, including rogue cells of Anarrians who choose other philosophies and goals.

**Adventurers:** Anarrians are trained from youth in the arts of combat, tactics, and discipline. Anarrians beleive in the survival of the fittest, and the fittest is always the leader. Anarrian adventurers are almost exclusively Soldiers, although Anarrian Scouts are also fairly common.
