HOMEWORLD:
Bovo Yagen was a planet near the Corellian Trade Route. It was home to the native Bovorians who were later joined by a family of settlers led by a former Imperial captain named Bovo Yagen. Initially the natives were wary of Yagen and his family due to some negative contacts with other Humans in the past. After Yagen and his family proved that they had nothing but good intentions, the Bovorians welcomed them and allowed them to stay.



Over the next several years, more traders and refugees from the Empire discovered the planet and settled there. After the demise of Yagen and the later demise of the Empire, the inhabitants of Bovo Yagen made themselves known to the rest of the Galaxy and prospered because of it.

During the First Corellian Insurrection, the Bovo Yagen system was the second inhabited star system targeted for destruction by the Sacorrian Triad after the Thanta Zilbra system. The twelve million inhabitants of Bovo Yagen, however, did not meet the same fate as the inhabitants of Thanta Zilbra due to the actions of a seven-year-old child .

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:
The Bovorians are a species of humanoids who live on Bovo Yagen. They are believed to have evolved from flying mammals. Their hair is nearly always white. Their bodies are slightly thinner and longer than humans. Their faces are narrow and angular, with sloping foreheads, flat noses, and slightly jutting chins. Bovorian eyes do not have noticeable irises or pupils; the entire viewing surface of each eye is a glossy red. Bovorians perceive infrared light, allowing them to function in complete darkness. Their ears are large, membranous and fan out. The muscles within the ear function to swivel slightly forward and back, allowing the Bovorians to direct his highly sensitive hearing around him.

CULTURE AND HISTORY:
Most Bovorians are friendly, open people who deal with other species patiently and with great ease. Due to their infrared vision and sensitive ears, they can read most emotions clearly and try to keep others happy and pacified. They cannot bear to see others sufer, whether they be Bovorian or otherwise. They will help a victim against an attacker, and usually have the strength and agility to be successful.

When humans began to arrive on Bovo Yagen, the Bovorians welcomed them, for they knew that other species could share in the work load and offer new trade. In some cases, the humans turned out to be greedy and lazy, sometimes even threatening. The Bovorians learned to become wary and distrusting of these "false faces." Fortunately, those disagreeable humans left when they could not find anything they felt worth taking. The Bovorians avoid heavy industries due to the amount of noise and pollution it makes.
