Adarian (Jedi Renaissance)

"A remarkable people, the Adarians have had a constant, yet subtle presence within the Order. Predominantly Consulars, all Adarian Jedi on record tended toward administrative tasks or holed themselves away in the archives on far-flung worlds. Never flashy, stubborn, and quiet, more then one Adarian Jedi has earned the moniker of "Jedi Hermit"."

- Jedi Knight Horen Hote, writing about Abdarian in the Jedi Order.

Adarians were a humanoid species from the terrestrial world of in the  of the galaxy. Developing space technology early in galactic history, they were among the founding species in the Galactic Republic Senate and served with distinction within the halls of government for millennia. Sending many Adarian children to serve as members of the Jedi Order, Jedi Adarians were known to be aloof and understated; appreciating the Force in solitude and often found work in the Service Corps.

Biology and appearance
A humanoid species of repto-mammals, the Adarians were bipedal and had walked upright since evolving from herbivorous dinosaurs which favored their hind-legs for reaching hanging leaves. The most distinctive feature of the Adarian skeleton was their elongated skull penetrated by a large cavity which left the skull open from one side to the other. This crest was hollow, and was used for mating calls and amplified by distendable throat pouches. When elongated, the throat pouches helped Adarians to emit a loud subsonic call which helped in communication over long distances, reaching a radius of over 20 kilometers. Lacking ears or noses, their skulls were covered in a fine hair which were sensitive to sound waves; glands below the surface of the skin allowed them to detect odors. Lipless, the Adarians possessed sharp, bony ridges with a hard palate and flat grinding teeth for consuming the leafy greens that grew in great number on Adari.

Society and culture
Adarian society was based around a rigid caste system known as screel'sara. Their governmental headquarters was the Hall of Decisions which sat at the epicenter of the great capital city of Carseneshi. Within the Hall, members from the upper crust of Adari society created laws and decrees to govern the lower classes. The Adarian government was similar to large corporations found across the galaxy, regulating all aspects of society and allowing the government to truthful boast about their lack of civil strife. Before the advent of the hyperdrive, the Adarian had developed an advanced carbon-ice drive which they used to propel themselves into space. The Adarians wrote and spoke Adarese, with very little Aurabesh seen or heard around even the largest of cities. While they could understand Basic, Adarians struggled to pronounce certain sounds due to their lack of lips. Like many species, the Adarians adapted the galactic standard for naming their citizens: using a given name followed by a surname on all official documents.

History
Discovered during the decline of the, the Adarians rallied to the cause of the Coreward worlds in the creation of a unified galactic government to fill the void left by their Rakatan oppressors. Sending representatives to Coruscant, the Adarians helped establish the Galactic Republic and swiftly ratified the Galactic Constitution. A world of extensive resources, the Adarians fiercely protected their world from exploitation and worked fervently to maintain their colonies across the system.

Most Adarians active in the galaxy found work as scouts under the employ of mining corporations or the Adari government, searching for mineral rich planets or moons to exploit. While the higher class had no need to leave the world, some lower class individuals would abandon their homeworld in search of a better existence. Seeking work as smugglers and joining criminal organizations, the Adari also found work in more prestigious positions such as working in financial, political, or administrative boards across the galaxy.

Adarian Jedi
Like all species which served in the Order, Adarians were represented in the Grand Temple on Ossus. Within the main entrance of the Temple, known as the Hall of Meditating Masters, a larger-than-life bronzium statue was erected in dedication to all Adarians that had served the Order over time. Erecting far down the corridor on an empty plinth reserved for new species, the kneeling Master did not represent any one Jedi in particular, but gave future generations of Abinyshi Jedi a place to find solace and peace. In the Sword of the Jedi tower, the lightsabers of all Jedi were placed in memory of fallen warriors and scholars alike. The Edifice of Heroes stood ready to memorialize any future Abinyshi within the Order with paintings, monuments, or holodepictions.
