Kessenski

The Kessenski are a reptilian humanoid species native to the desert world of Sonoran. They share their star system, Najima, with a species native to another world, the Borshann.

Throughout much of their history, the Kessenski have been aware of the existence of alien species other than themselves, as they had been visited several times by the Borshann while they were still developing their civilization. Shortly after the Great Seal-Off of Verpletter, Humans made contact with them, and the two species merged their societies. They would later go on to be joined by the Borshann and become one of the three founding species of the Sonoran Union. They have since become widespread throughout Sonorani space, Verpletter, and beyond.

A naturally curious people, they have spread throughout much of Verpletter and left their home to explore the wider universe. They are also a loyal species, particularly to the Sonoran Union, and many often return to their homes to bring back secrets and all that they have learned from outside of Verpletter or the Union. They are well known for being a particularly well spoken and articulate species, often able to talk their way out of situations with finesse and skill.

Appearance and Biology

The Kessenski are a humanoid reptilian species that evolved to adapt desert environments. Their bodies are covered in scales, which allows them to withstand intense heat as well as give them a modicum of protection against external threats. They average nearly two meters tall on average, and possess large mouths and eyes. Their hands possess claws at the ends of their fingers.

The species is cold blooded, which assists them when they must travel between worlds, as they are much more used to the temperatures found on starships.

In a display of sexual dimorphism, male Kessenski are known to have frills, whereas female Kessenski do not.
