The Octusi were a semi-sentient species that lived on the planet Blaudu Sextus, where they were used as slaves by members of the world's mining colony. In 44 ABY, the slaves held a freedom march, but when Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala heard of the development from Wynn Dorvan, her Chief of Staff, she arranged for a brigade of Mandalorians to be sent to Blaudu Sextus to prevent the incident from becoming a full-fledged revolution.

Biology and appearanceEdit

The Octusi are a centauriform alien, with an Ithorian-like torso and head rising from the forequarters of a shaggy, barrel-chested nerf. They have shaggy white fur and a long, barrel-shaped abdomen connecting their hind and forequarters. In the broad, flat trunk rising up from the forequarters, there is a gracefulness hinting at their tranquil nature, and in their broad shoulders and hammer-shaped head there is a gentle beauty horn.

HistoryEdit

The Octusi are natives of Blaudu Octus in the Blaudu System. They are a pacifistic, gentle and rule-abiding species that can not conceive of others being otherwise. Most Blauduns (a hairless green biped with sunken eyes and a long dagger-thin nose), the colonizers of Blaudu Sextus, do not accept that they are truly sentient. The Octusi are mostly classified as semi-sentient.

The Octusi speak and understand nearly a hundred words, but they do not read or write, and they have no concept of time beyond now, later, and "before". They use simple hand tools to dig and to shape stone, but they do not understand levers or pulleys. They have also have always been confused by the idea of money.

The Blauduns own their Octusi, but regard them as working pets and treat them well. Their harvesting ships make regular trips to Octus for more Octusi labor. They are escorted to work everyday, but only because they would spend the day wandering otherwise. When they are done working, they are free to do as they wish. But due to the steep axial tilt of their own planet, the Octusi spend their lives migrating and following the seasons in search of good grazing. This is a hard life where they rarely live more than twenty standard years. So when the Octusi can no longer keep up, the band will often seek out a harvesting ship from Sextus and ask the Blauduns to take them. In their care, the Octusi have been known to live eighty years. The Octusi are free to return to their homeworld of Octus to die if they wish.
