The Meerians were a race of short, silver-haired Near-Humans native to the planet Bandomeer.
As a people, the Meerians were a slow, deliberate race with a primitive society. Their personality was generally sunny and optimistic, although due to the takeover of their planet by mining companies, some Meerians developed a mercenary mentality that contrasted with the older, more helpful philosophies.

[edit] History
For much of their history, the Meerians had no contact with offworlders, until Galactic Republic survey teams landed on their planet. Soon, the mineral riches of Bandomeer were discovered, and several mining conglomerates essentially took over the planet. Although the Republic recognized the Meerians as the true owners of Bandomeer, in actual fact they exerted little control over the fate of the planet.
Throughout the centuries of pollution on Bandomeer, the Meerians developed the ability to breath in toxic air, with their noses and tongues working in tandem to filter the air. They also became pale-skinned from the lack of sunlight able to filter through the smog of their planet.
