Kaliuars

Kaliuars are a fictional species from the Star Wars universe. They are a sentient, amphibious race originating from the planet Kaliu. Physically, Kaliuars are characterized by their smooth, green skin, large, dark eyes, and webbed hands and feet. They possess gills that allow them to breathe underwater, but they can also survive on land for extended periods. Their average lifespan is approximately 120 standard years.

Culturally, Kaliuars are known for their peaceful nature and their deep connection to the oceans of their homeworld. They are skilled engineers and architects, constructing intricate underwater cities that blend seamlessly with the marine environment. Their society is largely communal, with a strong emphasis on cooperation and harmony. They have a complex spiritual belief system that reveres the life-giving properties of water.

In terms of their interactions with other species, Kaliuars are generally reclusive but have occasionally engaged in trade and diplomacy. They are not a technologically advanced species in the same way as some galactic powers, but their understanding of hydro-engineering and bio-technology is considerable. During the Galactic Republic era, a small number of Kaliuars were known to serve as navigators or hydro-biologists aboard starships, utilizing their unique amphibious traits. Their presence in galactic affairs has been limited, with most preferring to remain on or near Kaliu.
