Star Wars Alien Species - Asogian
Brodo Asogi, also known as the Green Planet, was a planet that was the homeworld of the Asogian species. It was located near the border of the Outer Rim Territories and Wild Space, nearby Kalee and Huk.
It was represented by Senator Grebleips and two aides in the Galactic Senate. According to the HoloNet News, Grebleips was to fund an extragalactic expedition project shortly before the Clone Wars.
By 33 BBY, the Asogians were represented in the Galactic Senate of the Republic by Senator Grebleips and three aides. Before the onslaught of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Grebleips notably declared his intention to fund an extra-galactic expedition project. At the end of the war, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic Palpatine transformed the existing regime into the First Galactic Empire, with himself as Emperor. The Asogian Grebleips and sixty-two other delegates were charged with conspiracy and treason for helping plot the so-called revolt of the Jedi Order against Palpatine. Like countless other planets, the homeworld of the Asogians fell into the Galactic Empire's hands.
During the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a disabled Asogian named Braxas made a career as an infochant on the planet of Solay, in the Dominus sector of the Outer Rim Territories. When the Galactic Empire seized Solay, the Asogian decided to leave the planet. Braxas then hired Luke Skywalker, a young hero of the Alliance and a skilled pilot, to transport him offworld.
The physical appearance of the PK-series worker droid was modeled on that of the Asogians.
Like many other species, including the reptilian Anx of Gravlex Med, and the furry Togorians of Togoria, the Asogians routinely went about their business unclothed. They used grub-sticks as eating utensils, and at least some of them consumed meat.
Asogians were paddle-footed sentients, small-sized and squat, with long arms that could touch the ground as they walked. Their hands ended in four long fingers. Their head, dominated by two large eyes, was perched atop an extensible neck. Some Asogians had brown, completely hairless skin, while others were yellow-skinned with scattered black hair on the head. Possible eye colors included blue and red.
Examples of Names: Grebleips, Braxas.
