Star Scoundrels: Na-Bani

Happy Saturday all, sorry haven't posted in a bit, been working on real life stuff.  Thought I would post another alien species for Star Scoundrels.  Hope everyone is doing well and finding time to play some games with friends and family.  Take care! 

     The Na-Bani are an alien race of humanoids very similar to humans. They have bright yellow skin with dark striping facial patterns, their hair tends to be various shades of bright orange. Na-Bani tend to be of lean and muscular builds, being a militant race, their society frowns on Na-Bani that are overweight or out of shape. Even elder Na-Bani are expected to keep themselves fit and ready to fight, that is those Na-Bani that make it to old age. 

     The Na-Bani are a militant culture, their way of life revolves around combat.  Na-Bani instinctively divide into various clans that often readily engage in conflict with one another. Dominion Scientists have studied the species, and a common theory is that the Na-Bani are a race that was originally engineered to be soldiers for some ancient forgotten power that predates The Dominion Era. Indeed, the species proclivity to divide into groups and wage minor wars on one another, yet having no additional animosity towards other races does give this some merit. However, if an outsider identifies himself as a member/ally of one of the opposed groups he is considered to be fair game. The Na-Bani hotly deny this theory saying they are an independently evolved species. That is they will deny it if one can get them to stop fighting one another long enough to comment. Many pirates and slavers have learned the hard way to leave the Na-Bani alone, there have been reports of pirates attempting to take advantage of the Na-Bani during one of their many wars, thinking that the Na-Bani with their "lower" tech level (they have not developed independent space travel) and "weakened state" due to ongoing war, would be easy pickings, the Na-Bani  when attacked like this quickly stop fighting each other and go full out attack against the invaders, after the foreign threat is repelled they will then resume their previous conflicts with one another
