They were noted to be highly intelligent but not reclusive, on the contrairy they enjoyed company and were very friendly. They were also very loyal and if yu made a friend of A Kerridian they would stick by someone tothe end. They built lare cities that were mostly located to the North due to the fact that the southern areas were inhabited y a race of vicious eptillian species called the Skralers who relised Kerridian meat. The cities were mostly made up of workplaces, housing areas and parks because Kerridians enjoyed the great outdoors, which lead to an alliance with the Grigonians because of their similar natures. They had a large trade route, sellin large quantities of crops, livestock, vehicles, sculptures and paintings.

History
During the clone wars, Keridios was invaded by the CIS and despite putting up a valiant fight the Keridans couldn't hol out forever and so the Republic aided them by sending out it's large clone army. After the clone wars, the Empire cut off all trde routes to and from the planet and began stealing the crops and livestock for themselves. As a result of this a large number of them joined the rebellion, aiding them by giving them whatever crops they had left. After the empire's destruction they allied themselves with the new Republic.
