Human Skakoans

Human Skakoans are the descents of human refugees from the plant of Nelshier who were taken in by the Skakoans in 433 bby. Over time, they adopted the customs and mindset of their hosts and follow the Skakoan reverence of logic while blunting their emotional capacity (at least by the standards of many other sentient species). To most other Humans they are arrogant, demanding and callous. The species also has a limited understanding of right and wrong which causes Human Skakoans to be willing to pursue courses of action that most other cultures consider abhorrent. Skakoan Humans wear protective suits and gas masks when on Skako but often wear them even in breathable environments as a way of reminding themselves of their perceived superiority. There are believed to be 3.2 billion Skakoan Humans living on Skako.

History
Skakoan Humans originated from the Mid Rim world of Nelshier. In 434 bby the world was on the verge of being devastated by the shockwave of a supernova and the planets population desperately appealed to the Galactic Senate in the hopes that an evacuation and resettlement plan could be created. However, the sudden nature of the emergency meant that the 33 million inhabitants of Nelshier could not be moved in large enough numbers to any one world to prevent the majority of the population from being wiped out. The Skakoans surprisingly offered to resettle the soon to be refugees on their home world and the inhabitants of Nelshier accepted, seeing no other option. The Skakoan's motivations have been a subject of intense debate with many xenosociologists and historians believing that the Skakoans were aware of what the Nelshiri would turn into and even deliberately caused their transformation.

Whether or not the Skakoans intended for the Nelshiri to become the Human Skakoans, their cultural metamorphosis began within the first two generations born on the planet. Out of a mixture of gratitude, curiosity and other factors the Nelshiri began taking on aspects of their hosts customs and mindset, with the use of gasmasks and respirators already being common due to Skako's atmosphere. They began to follow the Skakoans own beliefs in the superiority of logic. Most disturbingly to much of the galaxy the Nelshiri were beginning to display a growing arrogance toward other human cultures. They still kept their emotional capacity although they began only showing positive emotions towards their own kind as well as Skakoans.
