Wylixian

Wylixians were the Chorrian speaking inhabitants of Whoxx and eventual colonists of Ulrooine. After their homeworld was discovered in 3,371 BBY, they became known throughout the galaxy for their proverbial wisdom.

Biology and Appearance
Wylixians were tall, averaging over two meters in height, gaunt, and humanoid. They usually had olive skin tones and thick dark hair. Eye color ranged from oranges to blues to browns and they had four lungs and one large heart.

Society and Culture
Family and hospitality were extremely important to Wylixian society, second only to sincere thankfulness. If any sentient on Whoxx, native or alien, was known to be a widow or orphan or otherwise without kin, they would be cared for by friends and strangers, welcomed into many homes in as kin. Along with these virtues, wisdom and music were high in importance, being carefully passed along to each new generation. Throughout the galaxy, they were known for their wisdom and it was said that they had written down as a society almost two million unique proverbs. Art and poetry were also highly valued. They ate mostly fruits and vegetables but occasionally hunted and fished but they never consumed the meat of any animal that was not hunted by either themselves or a close kinsman, thus there was no meat industry on either of the Wyxilian worlds.

On Ulrooine, a separate Wylixian culture eventually developed, one with the corruption and evils common to most of the galaxy. The Ulrooinian Wylixians had much more tragic experiences than the Whoxxi Wylixians.

History
Circa 50,000 BBY, the ancestors of the Wylixian people fled a dangerous enemy deep in the Unknown Regions aboard a great ship. Travelling across nearly the entire galaxy, they finally settled on the beautiful world of Whoxx.

By the time Klorrean explorer Arzo Teth discovered their world in 3,371 BBY, Wylixian culture had been firmly established for thousands of years. They welcomed the explorer, asking him many questions about the greater galaxy and relating the history of their people. However, they did convince him that the world had few natural resources, knowing that greed would destroy their world if beings believed they had great wealth. Consequently, Whoxx was recorded as a world of little value and was spared from almost every galactic conflict.

By 555 BBY, the Wylixians had carefully developed their own picturesque, environmentally sound spacecrafts and they colonized Ulrooine, a barren planet in the. With great care, they began terraforming the world, melting its ice to make rivers and lakes and bringing in flora and fauna to populate the lifeless world. However, the two worlds began to culturally drift apart and it was noted in 252 BBY by the sentientologist Roumal Siulo that the Wylixians of Whoxx were kind and loving, rich in cultural heritage, whereas the Wylixians of Ulrooine were as greedy and corrupt as the rest of the galaxy’s sentients, having thrown aside their roots.

The Wylixians of Ulrooine began to experience trouble and heartbreak while those of Whoxx withdrew from the affairs of the galaxy. The Hutts took an interest in Ulrooine in 250 BBY and the Wylixians there were dealt with treacherously. Becoming more and more corrupt, they allowed scum and villainy onto their world, becoming a minority species by 200 BBY.

64 BBY saw the first war on Ulrooine, and one of the first wars any Wylixian had ever seen. the Hutt brought an army from Cessopyre and invaded because a traitorous Hutt from his clan by the name of Ubukko was running the planet. A brief lull occurred in the conflict due to Jedi intervention in 62 BBY but by 60 BBY Oruba’s forces had overwhelmed Ubukko’s and he had her killed after his victory. The Wylixians became marginalized on Ulrooine after the fall of Ubukko and the Wylixians of Whoxx continued with their isolationist policy until they were conquered by the in 129 ABY and also marginalized.

Wylixians in the Galaxy
The first Wylixian to leave Whoxx was an official named Gwylwyr who travelled with Arzo Teth to the explorer’s homeworld of Ord Zathuun as well as many worlds. On, he met the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and on he discussed ideals of wisdom and philosophy with the. Over the years, many Wylixians travelled around the galaxy to study and to bring technological advances home to Whoxx. The first Wylixian Jedi began her training in 2,499 BBY, an action which most of her species felt was wrong. It was not until 403 BBY that any Wylixian became a bounty hunter. After the decline of Wylixian culture on Ulrooine, many Wylixians began to leave and spread around the galaxy.
