Klaanins

Klaanins are a fictional humanoid species originating from the *Star Wars* expanded universe, primarily featured in the *Legends* continuity (now separated from the official canon). They are a tall, slender species with elongated limbs, large almond-shaped eyes, and smooth, pale skin that often appears translucent or slightly iridescent. Their most distinctive physical trait is their elongated, flexible fingers, which allow for remarkable dexterity and precision in manual tasks. Klaanins typically stand between 2.5 and 3 meters in height, making them among the taller species in the *Star Wars* universe.

Culturally, Klaanins are known for their advanced technological and artistic societies, particularly in the areas of architecture, engineering, and fine arts. They often serve as architects, designers, and builders, contributing significantly to the construction of iconic structures such as the *Coruscant Spire* and the *Eternal City’s* grand temples. Their society places a strong emphasis on creativity, innovation, and intellectual pursuits, with many Klaanins excelling in fields like philosophy, mathematics, and the arts.

In terms of biology, Klaanins possess a long lifespan, often living for several centuries, and are capable of surviving in a variety of environments, though they thrive in temperate climates. Their physiology allows them to adapt to zero-gravity conditions with relative ease, making them well-suited for spacefaring civilizations. Politically, Klaanins have historically been part of the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire, often serving in administrative, scientific, or military roles due to their intelligence and adaptability.

Notable Klaanins in *Star Wars* lore include *Archduke Pallett*, a high-ranking official in the Galactic Empire, and *Klaatu*, a prominent architect and engineer. Despite their contributions, Klaanins remain one of the lesser-known species in the *Star Wars* universe, with their culture and history explored primarily through novels, comics, and video games rather than the main film series.
