Aqualish (Earth-8120)

"Negola dewaghi wool dugger? He doesn't like you."

- - Ponda Baba and Cornelius Evazan to Rey Lars

The Aqualish are a sentient species of humanoids from Ando who are distinguished by their fur and round, bulbous black eyes.

They were represented in the Galactic Senate of both the United Galactic Federation and the First Order.

History
Aqualish have a long story in the galactic community, with many of them being some of the first species to pledge their allegiance to the United Galactic Federation and the Galactic Senate during its founding days. Many Aqualish started to disagree with the direction being taken by the Federation for the years that led up to the Separatist Crisis. The senator Po Nudo and his aide Nank Tun chose to align themselves with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems against the corruption and bureucracy that were plaguing the Senate. In the last year of the Clone Wars, the two of them were murdered by Darth Vader on Mustafar alongside the rest of the Confederate Council under orders of Darth Sidious.

Biology
Aqualish have bald heads, with fur around their cheeks and arms. Their skin color range from black, to grey, to beige. They have either two, or four, big, bulbous round black eyes. The Aqualish are unable to speak Galactic Basic, and they speak the language Aqualishi, which can be translated with proper software. They have red blood.

Culture
Because many Aqualish were criminals through the galaxy, diplomacy was perceived as hard by many Aqualish politicians, who though that the criminals and outlaws gave their species a bad reputation. Indeed, the Aqualish culture emphasize might over intelligence or diplomacy.
