Aramandi (Jedi Renaissance)

The Aramandi were a race of mammals originating on the terrestrial world Aram in the of the galaxy.

An ancient species, the Anomid cultivated a society based on peace and learning, while developing a thriving agrarian society. Over the course of millennia, the Anomid spread out from Yablari, colonizing many worlds and establishing one of the largest food-processing corporations in the galaxy. Valuing the cultures of others, especially those extremely alien to their own, the Anomid were not a warring people and found that the ideals of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order were fundamentally good and correct. for training and the academies and universities of the Republic, the Amanin showed signs of quickly modernizing once away from their homeworld. Those Anomids in politics were often found to be disagreeable philosophers by their peers who were caught up in the political and moneyed side of governance. The Anomid who went on to serve in the Jedi Order seldom took up their lightsaber by choice, preferring to remain within their temples deep in study, or out among the people as Watchman or cultural anthropologists.

Biology and appearance
A mammalian sentient species, Aramandi were bipedal beings with a bilateral symmetry, having a front and a back end, as well as an upside and downside. Their body comprised a head, neck, torso, and six limbs. The upper two pairs of limbs, called arms, ended in large, strong hands with five digits each. These fingers had multiple points of articulation, and one finger on each hand was an opposable thumb that allowed for fine manipulation. The lower pair of limbs, called legs, were corded with muscles and also had five digits. Finally, they had one head perched atop a torso, with four eyes, two ears, and a mouth with full, large lips. Their eyes were set in pairs along their narrow face, allowing for binocular vision. Their ears were simple tympanic cavities in the side of their heads, which allowed them some degree of hearing and balance. Hairless, Aramandi were warm-blooded animals, meaning they maintained a constant body temperature independent of the environment using the energy from their food. Aramandi were omnivorous, subsisting on plant and animal-based foods. They had two sexes: male and female, with the latter being distinguished by their pronounced breasts, overall smaller stature, and lighter skin tone. Despite overall physiological uniformity, Aramandi varied greatly in appearance, and no two Aramandi looked exactly alike. One of the diversity factors was height; due to Aram's above standard gravity, Aramandi were stouter then other humanoid species and sometimes considered diminutive. Aramandi averaged 1.25 meters in height, although males were usually taller and heavier than females. Aramandi skin ranged in color from light pink to dark brown. The eyes of the Aramandi were solid black in color, with no visible irises or pupils.

Aramandi were sexually-reproduced animals, requiring the mating of an opposite sex couple to produce offspring. While developing in their mother's womb, the child gave her a distinctive "baby bump" accompanied by a significant weight gain. Being mammals, Aramandi females gave birth to live young, either one or several at a time. The delivery itself normally took place after nine months of pregnancy when a woman would take up residence within a local birthing home where healers and shamans would attend her every need. It was a painful process that could take as much as ten hours; in some circumstances, women could die during childbirth. During their first months of existence, Aramandi babies were usually fed with milk from their mother's breasts. The period during which a young Aramandi developed from a child into an adult was known as adolescence. According to social traditions on Aram, the legal transition from childhood to adulthood was only attained after thirteen standard years of life. Anomids had an average lifespan of 80 standard years. Those who were keenly attuned to the Force could live up to 200. At any rate, individuals past the age of 85 were considered to have reached an age worthy of veneration. Natural signs of aging in Aramandi included the loss of teeth, appearance of deep lines, wrinkles and dark blemishes on the skin. Old Aramandi would experience a decline in many cognitive processes, frequently losing track of time, misidentifying people or places and, in extreme cases, momentarily forgetting about their own identity or state.
