Affytechan (Jedi Renaissance)

"Like many botanical species, the Affytechan are so radically different from other species, we still struggle to understand all of their biology. While they cannot wield a lightsaber, there have been several Affytechan Jedi Knights throughout our Order's history. I regret that there are no current members, but the future seems bright for more to be introduced to our ranks."

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

Affytechan were a humanoid species from the terrestrial world of in the  of the galaxy. Discovered by the ExplorCorps in 800 BrS, their people were highly-social beings and had developed technology that suited their unique anatomy. While several members of the species had made their way into galactic society before their world was widely explored, the Affytechan were not common in the galaxy and only gained representation in the Galactic Senate in the wake of the Clone Wars.

Biology and appearance
A botanical species, Affytechan evolved from a large, mobile flowering plant with blossoms that exuded a terrible scent to ward off predators. Affytechan have a single gender, with both male and female reproductive capabilities; as they reproduce through pollination, Affytechan send pollen out into the air which interacts with their own organs, as well as other Affytechans in the vicinity during mating season. Alternating generations, a pollinated Affytechan will develop two or three seed pods along their backs and bury them in a secure location. Coming into existence as a small plant-like being, Affytechans germinate over a two to three year period and are capable of absorbing information during this time. At the age of five standard years old, Affytechans are capable of locomotion and uproot themselves from their homes and begin to integrate into society. Flowering at the standard age of thirteen, each Affytechan has a unique flowering pattern determined by the genes passed down from their parents. Bipedal, each Affytechan had two arms ending in long, green tentacles which were capable of wrapping around objects and constricting to form a tight grip. Standing upright at about 1.8 meters, Each Affytechan had a single black compound eye amid their blooms. Viewing the world from eight different directions through their compound eye, Affytechan's had no sense of smell and understood sound as vibrations against their skin. Lacking a mouth, Affytechan's communicated telepathically with each other, but had evolved a small air tube at the top of their head. Through this tube, Affytechan's could force air out while constricting the opening to form basic sounds and form words in Basic.

Affytechan Jedi
While only serving in limited numbers throughout the later history of the Order, the Jedi Order renegotiated their dealings with the Affytechan after the Clone Wars when the Affytechan joined the Galactic Republic. Agreeing to test their children and send any Forceful infants to Ossus in exchange for Jedi protection and membership in the Galactic Senate, Affytechan began to serve in the Order's ranks. Like all species which served in the Order, Affytechan 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 Affytechan who had and who would serve. Erected far down the corridor among less represented species, the kneeling Master did not represent any one Jedi in particular, but gave future generations of Affytechan 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 Affytechan within the Order with paintings, monuments, or holodepictions.
