Dar

credit: Nikita

Dar is the security officer aboard the Bargarean Jade. Whether Dar’s species is entirely non-gender binary or that's just how they personally identify is unknown, but that’s really none of your business either way.

Dar was previously a smuggler before being caught by the Federated Alliance and given an ultimatum: work for the Federated Alliance or face death. Dar is immensely strong, though always seems to have an excuse not to actually protect the crew.

In a major story arc spanning the entirety of Season 3, Dar's pregnancy and the birth of their offspring Horsehat (and the synchronous return of Beano) is played out.

## Morphology

Dar is an approximately 12-foot tall (3.7m) alien covered in furry scales, has talons on their chest, and has many chutes and flaps. The flaps are the entry points into Dar's body and the chutes are the exit points. When angry, their chest talons stick straight out. Dar is equally as male as they are female.

Thanks to their chutes and flaps, Dar's species is roughly 50% empty space. This empty space is not made for food storage. Dar (and presumably all of their species) does not possess a skull in the region of their head, rather, their brain is located elsewhere in their body. They also, according to Pleck, do not have bones. Dar's species drinks sand. Dar possesses metamorphic genitalia that can take any shape, which allows them to have sex with pretty much anyone or anything. Dar has four hearts.

Once every other moon cycle Dar "goes into heat," during which time their body reaches 485 degrees Fahrenheit. This heat burns off any diseases or bacteria inside them. Dar gets very tired and does not smell very good during this time. Whether the moon cycle to which Dar refers is a Tellurian moon cycle or one specific to their own planet is unclear.

Members of Dar's species reproduce by parthenogenesis with their two-year reproduction cycle broken down into eight octomesters. Every member of their species reproduces via self-fertilization, and their offspring is always identical (presumably barring mutations). Dar's pregnancy is purposely accelerated when they consume multiple Bargie bouches (ingredients are only identified as neither garfon nor soy garfon) at Chez Bargez.

## Season 1

* Dar was being hunted by (and presumably is still being hunted by) the Marsha bounty hunters.
* Dar has jucked over 173 different species.
* They are a classically trained dancer.
* Dar hates children.
* Dar is related to everyone on their home planet.
* On X-Marse, Dar's planet has the tradition of fighting one person to the death.
* Has a 'pinky' - we don’t know what it is, but Nermut Bundaloy is very embarrassed by it.
* Has never jucked a Lird
* Has at least 2 mattresses
* Is about 50% empty space

## Season 2

* Dar used to be known by the name Norm/Little Norm and was a nerd in middle school.
* They went to East Side School and graduated with the class of 4052.
* Their first word was 'Death', not uncommon for their planet.
* On their home world you marry someone you want to spend the rest of your life with and then only juck other people.
* Dar's body contains blood.
* Dar's species is considered a pre-existing condition when applying for health coverage, according to the Sentient Resources bureaucrat Takk'sys.
* Dar wants to juck a member of every sentient species at least once. They have definitely had sex with a Lird (Nermut), in various times and places, including aboard Bargie.

## Season 3

* When the crew reunites on Holowood at the beginning of Season 3, Dar is revealed to be six months pregnant, with the start of their pregnancy aligning time-wise somewhere around the end of Season 2.
* Dar is the only member of their species to ever leave their home planet.
* Dar gives birth to their child, and names it after the Dula, Horsehat. Dar also gives birth(?) to Beano in this moment. Dar asks Nermut Bundaloy to co-parent with them.
