Doph

The Dophwere a race of near-human cyborgs.

Physical apperance
The Doph were almost identical to Humans, save for their different skin colours. The majority of the Doph had cybernetic implants such as Borg construct Aj^6 implants in order to better use their technology, they also utilised mnechanical arms in order to increase their strength. They had a second set of eyes atop their forheads that were also implanted with cybernetics, they allowed their secondary eyes to see in night vision, x-ray and infared. The military took cybernetics a step further, most of the head was replaced with a helmet that was fused to the head and the lower jaw was replaced entirely. Soldiers also had wrist mounted blasters installed, as well as a set of retractable spider-like legs that allowed them to scale walls and rough terrain or an inbuilt retractable jetpack.

Society
The Doph were known for their dependance on technology, and used cybernetic implants in order to better use their technology. In time the cybernetics became commonplace and soon became available for the general public. During the early days of the Old Republic their system was invaded by the insectoid Entu, despite having huge numbers the Doph used their superior technology to destroy a large number of Entu ships before they could even enter Dophin Prime's orbit. They then launched a massive counterattack against the Entu and drove them out of their system, chasing them back to their territory. Despite the victory, they continued to be harrased by the Entu for thousands of years. Although they were initially loyal to the Republic during the Clone Wars, they sided with the CIS after witnessing General Grievous slaughter a large number of Clones, their own soldiers and Jedi. They were impressed by his cybernetics and battle prowess and defected, although they warned the Republic about as a sign of respect. Their homeplanet was eventually subjugated shortly after the rise of the Empire and many of them joined the Rebellion. After the fall of the Empire they joined the New Republic. During the Yuuzhan Vong war they easily managed to defend against an attack with the aid of the Iron Knights.
