« on: December 31, 2009, 08:46:38 PM »
INFO: The Brrbrlpp were the indigenous species of the planet Esfandia.


RACE: Brrbrlpp
HEIGHT: 1.5 Meters (Body) and then tendrils 2 Meters Long
SKIN: Semi-transparent Orange
DISTINCTION: Flower-like tendrils, jellyfish
LANGUAGE: Brrbrlpp

HOMEWORLD:
Esfandia was a free-floating proto-world in Wild Space. At one time, it had orbited a star, but it eventually broke away. Even without a sun, the planet had enough radioactivity in its core to support a liquid atmosphere composed mainly of methane and hydrogen.

Esfandia and Generis were the only two planets containing HoloNet relays to the Unknown Regions. The Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base was a mobile relay base stationed on Esfandia and crewed by twelve people. Its purpose was to maintain the relays scattered around the planet. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Galactic Alliance stationed two X-wing squadrons and the frigate Corellian Way around the planet to protect the station. The Battle of Esfandia occurred in 28 ABY, when Yuuzhan Vong forces under the command of B'shith Vorrik attempted to knock out communications between the Unknown Regions and the rest of the galaxy.

BIOLOGY AND APPEARANCE:
The Brrbrlpp were flower shaped jellyfish like sentients. They rippled the outer edges of their bodies to provide motion and could move rather swiftly if necessary. A ring of photosensors studded its interior, they had radial lines of cilia, semi-transparent flesh and had a complicated skeleton to keep its "petals" rigid. Inside its body they had gently pulsating dark patches that could have been internal organs, they also had a long whip-like tail. The females laid eggs and the males would later fertilize them. As a species the Brrbrlpp would breed in caves they called the Nesting Plains, which were deep and located near the warm of Esfandia's core.

CULTURE AND HISTORY:
The Brrbrlpp were often referred to by off-worlders as the Cold Ones since it was easier to say than Brrbrlpp. They spoke a form of trinary via radio-waves which was taught to them by Commander Si of the Esfandia Long-Range Communications Base. The Brrbrlpp as a species were talkative and their calls could travel great distances. Like many other sentient species, Brrbrlpp youth were willing to risk death for excitement.

Since Esfandia could not support a large and varied ecosystem, the species was never plentiful and during the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War, it was estimated that there were several thousand Brrbrlpp. On Esfandia, the Brrbrlpp tend massive gardens and bred swarms of flying insects which they traded for trace minerals filtered from the air.
