Chironian

*Chironian Species data created by Wikia user Chellewalker.*

The Chironians are an equine-humanoid hybrid Species native to the planet Chiron; located within The Outer Rim Territories known as the Ash Worlds, their homeworld still bears remnants of the sacking and bombardment of The Hutt Kajidics thousands of years ago. Chironians are distinguished by their centauriform anatomy; while their torso, arms and head resemble those of a humanoid, their lower body is that of a four-legged equine. The Chironians have been largely reclusive from galactic affairs; while incorporated in The Sith Empire during the reign of Revan, Chiron was otherwise insulated from most other events.

Some Chironians were influenced by the ideology of The Diversity Alliance following the cruel reign of the Empire, but the majority were content to remain in isolation.

### Chironian Characteristics

**Personality:** Chironians express emotions through the mannerisms of their hooves; when impatient, they stamp them; when excited, they tapp them in a quick dance, or canter in a spot. The centauriforms frequently shake their heads and manes, and when angry, their faces flush a deeper shade.

**Physical Description:** In addition to their equine physiology, Chironians are also notable for the presence of two transparent, smooth horns extending from their foreheads. These horns start as small velvet-covered knobs, which eventually break through as fully-fledged horns.

**Age Groups:** Chironians age at the following stages:

**Homeworld:** Chironians hail from The Outer Rim planet of Chiron, in the devastated Ash Worlds Sector.

**Languages:** Chironians possess expressive, husky voices. Most can learn to speak Basic, although some speak with a heavy accent.

**Example Names:** Cinall, Jefin, Lusa, Slaturn, Sinall.

**Adventurers:** Chironians largely keep to themselves on Chiron until The New Jedi Order Era, when several Chironians were kidnapped by The Empire Reborn, causing some Chironians to leave Chiron in search of their missing people. These Chionians are mostly Soldiers and Scouts, and some Force-sensitive Chironians go on to become Jedi in Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order.
