Neimodian

Neimodians or Neimoidians were a species of humanoids that were distant genetic relatives of Duros. They were native to the planet of Neimoidia and also lived on colony worlds in the same sector. They had a reputation for greed and cowardice. Neimodians placed tremendous value on wealth and material possessions, and would go to great lengths to gain money and power; however, they were very easily intimidated, and hated combat.[1]

Biology and Appearance

Since the Neimodians were distant genetic relatives of the Duros, they retained many similarities to them, including basic form, noseless faces, and green-blue skin (though Neimodians tended to be grayer). Their eyes also had pupils that split horizontally, and they were distinguished by small lumps on their foreheads and down-turned mouths. Their sense of smell came from glands under their eyes. These genetic differences were attributed to the distinct features of their homeworld, Neimoidia, including its gravity, which was heavier than Duro. Additionally, the planet's star was dimmer, and the planet itself was humid and widely shrouded by fog and mist.[1]

Society and Culture

Neimodians spent their formative years as puny grubs in the communal hives of Neimoidia, until the age of seven standard years. They were knowingly neglected by being given limited amounts of food. In this way, the weaker individuals were weeded while the most acquisitive ones could hoard more food than they could eat by themselves. The Neimoidian education ensured the survival of the greediest.
As adults, Neimodians had a reputation of being skilled in matters of business. Unfortunately, Neimodians were stereotyped by other species as greedy, fearful of death, lazy, corrupt and even child neglecters. This is evident by the use of droids for almost everything. It was often said that one of the most difficult concepts for a Neimodian to understand was loyalty.[1]
