Assanians

Assanians is a fictional ethnic group originating from the planet Xylos in the Galactic Republic. They are a humanoid species characterized by their pale skin, often tinged with a slight blue hue, and large, luminous eyes that adapt well to low-light conditions. Their hair is typically dark and coarse, though some variations exist. Assanians are known for their innate connection to Xylos's unique crystalline flora, which they use in various aspects of their culture, from medicine to art.

Historically, the Assanians developed a sophisticated society based on communal living and a deep respect for their ancestral traditions. Their civilization flourished for millennia, marked by advancements in astronomy and philosophy. They were among the first species to establish diplomatic ties with the Galactic Republic, initially through trade of rare Xylosian crystals. Their political structure is a council of elders, chosen for their wisdom and understanding of Xylosian lore.

Assanian culture places a high value on patience, contemplation, and the pursuit of knowledge. They are generally a peaceful people, preferring diplomacy and negotiation over conflict. However, they are fiercely protective of their homeworld and its unique ecosystem. Their art often reflects the natural beauty of Xylos, featuring intricate crystal carvings and bioluminescent tapestries. While they have integrated into the wider Republic, many Assanians still maintain strong ties to their home planet and its customs.
