Farosans

Farosans are a fictional species from the Star Wars universe. They are an insectoid species native to the planet Faro. Physically, Farosans are characterized by their exoskeletons, multiple limbs, and compound eyes. They communicate through a series of clicks and chirps, though some have learned to speak basic Galactic Basic.

The Farosan society is highly communal and organized. They are known for their intricate underground cities and their sophisticated understanding of engineering and architecture. Their social structure is hierarchical, with a queen or matriarch leading each colony. Farosans are generally peaceful and reclusive, preferring to focus on their own internal affairs rather than engaging with galactic politics.

However, some Farosans have ventured out into the wider galaxy, often as traders or artisans. Their unique skills and perspectives have made them valuable, though their alien nature has also led to misunderstandings and prejudice from other species. During the Clone Wars, some Farosan colonies were exploited for their resources by both the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, leading to their brief involvement in the conflict. Their home world, Faro, is known for its rich mineral deposits, which have attracted off-world interest.
