Masr'u

Masr'u were the local sentients of the planet Masr. They were a species which evolved from baseline humans, and it is unknown whether they and humans were native to Masr or simply humans who migrated to the planet early on. Masr'u refused to accept modern technology, and became one of the last surviving sentient species still living as they had thousands of years ago.

Physical description
The Masr'u were almost identical externally to baseline humans, but because of their existence entirely on arid Masr, they were unable to have any hair colour except black; any eye colour except brown; and any skin colour lighter than a dark tan. Internally, they had a few differences which differed them from humans, such as the fact that their stomach acid was stronger than baseline humans', and could easily dissolve bone and even small stones. They also possessed one less chromosome than baseline humans, and had less varied genes. This made it harder for them to survive in environments other than those they were familiar with. The final major difference was that if Masr'u wished to, they could change the natural way their hair grew, being able to make themselves bald, have straight, curly, long or short hair. Because of this, if a Masr'u defected to a criminal or spying organization such as Gashok the Hutt's empire, they were invaluable as agents because they could easily change their appearance if they were being followed.

Society and Culture
Masr'u founded several kingdoms on their planet, each of which was usually at war with the others. They had one religion which they all followed, and it featured a large pantheon of gods, one for almost everything they could think of. These gods frequently appeared as hybrids between the Masr'u and some form of non sentient creature on their homeworld.

Hierarchy
The Masr'u kingdoms were always using the same hierarchy, with the monarch, or Paro, at the top; followed by the officials and priests of th Masr'u religion; then the craftspeople, the masters of their trades; finally, at the bottom were the workers of the
