Fringler

Fringlers are aquatic residents of the planet Ragnatss.

Physical description
Fringlers are vaguley Dug like in appearnce and are belived to be distant relatives to them. They have Dug like faces, minus eyes, have grooves in their lips and have sharp teeth and unusually both gills and lungs. Fringlers suffer from a bizarre case of sexual dimorphison with the males being much smaller and simpler than the larger more domineering females. While males can only grow to be a mere one metre tall, females can grow to a stagerring 3.5 metres tall. Additionally the females grow large filaments on their forheads to attract unwitting fish and mates. Both of them have webbed appendages, which happen to be tentacle like, complete with suction cups. Females are the dominant gender on the planet with males serving under them. Males attach themselves to their mate's side and over time becomes part of the female, sucking scraps of leftover food that falls around the female.

Society
Fringler society is based on gender, Females at top, males at bottom. Fringler females almost always become the leaders of towns and/or cities and even when a male becomes leader there is always his mate to pull the strings. They live in vast domed cities under the seas of Ragnatss. They are very mistrusting of others and only ally themselves with the only species they think they can relate to: The Dug. Because of their distant realationships vast amounts of Dugs often go to live on Ragnatss and its underwater cities to escape the Gran and others who would use the as labor. They are quite content to stay on their planet of origin and rarely feel the need to leave it, although an adventourus one will be born once in a while. Being somewhat wary creatures they have a moderatley large military, and all cities have at least four turrets.

History
During the battle between the CIS and the Galactic Republic the majority of Fringlers stayed on Ragnatss and remained relativley safe with suprisingly few events. However during the rise of the Empire, Ragnatss was visited and almost captured by the Imperials. However the Fringlers proved to be powerfull adverseries along with their Dug alliance, and the Empire backed off, for a time. The Fringlers were actually quite luck because the Death star was schedualed to vist Ragnatss after Yavin 4 was destroyed but was unexpectadly destroyed by the rebbels. After the fall of the Empire the Fringlers were at first reluctant to join the New republic but eventually changed their minds and became very valuable allies in the war against the Vong. Being aquatic creatures represented a problem for th Vong but they eventually decided to attempt to destroy Ragnatss core thus rendering it uninhabitable. Once again the fringlers survived by the skin of their teeth when they were aided by the New republic and its armies. After that it became very quiet for the Fringlers and nothing much larger happened.
