Eniamo

The Eniamos were one of the native species of the planet Eniam. They lived in the grassy savannahs of the world, and their height was perfect for that location. They were just tall enough to peer over the tall grass and still short and flexible enough to bend over to hide in it. Their fur was also camoflauged with the golden plains.

They gathered plants and hunted for food, and could fight Eniam's predators, which were most common in the savannahs. Their light builds and camoflauge were well suited to running and hiding, but they used arrows, crystal spears, swords, and their stubby horns to fight back.

The Eniamos built brick and adobe houses in the plains. They had simple forges and mills. They first viewed the two other natives, the Dren and the Keegs, as too primitive for governemt. The Dren were actually at least as advanced as the Eniamos, and the Keegs were primitive but simply lacked a few simple keys, such as skill with metals and access to other resources. When the races finally combined, Eniam technology soared. With much help from the Dren, they soon developed starships, but stayed out of Galactic affairs for many years.

When they finally did try to get involved in the larger Galaxy, they were soon enslaved by the new Empire. The Eniamos were taken by the thousands to build Imperial weapons of war.

Soon after fall of the Empire in 4 ABY, Eniam gained represtentation in the New Republic. Unfortunately, the Empire's slavery had severely decreased the poplution of the planet. In 16 ABY, the natives of Eniam decided they could do without intergration with the rest of the Galaxy, and retired to only their own planet.
