Appearance and Biology: The Bakur are the most physically dominant of the species in the Dark System . They stand only 1.8 meters but have very broad shoulders and are very built . Their eyes are set extra far back so that the forehead and cheekbones stick out . This shields their eyes from the sun . Their eyes constantly excrete water and it is then caught on the cheekbone . This keeps the eyes from getting dry from the heat . The skin of the Bakur is very rough and weathered . They are covered with a thin layer of fur. This reflects sunlight . Their chin is seperated out into three sections much like the Aqualish. They have four fat fingers .
Temperament: The Bakur are not cheery people . They are usually grim and feel that they are board . So they fight and advance their weapons . Their only friends are Bakurs and slightly feel other species are lesser . They will highly value the person who can make them laugh and forget their worries . Since they aren't too funny and they aren't too friendly, this hasn't happened yet . They do have a sense of humor though . A very twisted one . Their jokes tend to have somebody dying . They have a hot temper and if they feel they have been insulted they will try to kill the person who insulted him . Stubborn.
History and Culture: Bakur may seem very dumb but
really it's because their species has only been alive for several thousand
years . This means they have advanced and evolved much quicker than humans
since they already have slow sublight fighters. Their planet is still young
too . It is mostly ocean . Most of the land is volcanoes . Their are no
continents, just one super continent .
The Bakur have been fighting a century
old war with two of the surrounding species .It is believed that the reason
Bakurs fight the Sheel and Slair is an insult aimed at their leader by
a Slair . It is still unknown why they fight the Sheel . They used to fight
wherever . When the Bakur were attacked their land would get hurt but they
would always win . So they made an aggreement to fight on an uninhabited
world . The other species didn't like getting their planet rocked to so
they agreed . So now they wreak destruction on a forest planet . The plant
life regenerates fast enough though that it still looks pretty good .
The Bakur have one very strong opinion
. If the Sheel or Slairjoin with the Empire , it is like they cried for
help or ran away . The Bakur think of the Empire as a bunch of wimps .
They think their armor looks "sissy" and that they repeatedly choose weaker
races to work for them . Humans appear to be puny to them and feel the
Empire should be begging for them to help the Empire . Only once has the
Empire attacked them . They believed that they could have been a good slave
race like the Sludir or Wookie . Bakur proved to be smarter than they looked
. First they let the Slair and Sheel think they were alied with them once
the Bakur learned of the Empires plans . The Bakur easily took out all
ground troops , using the lands to their advantage . Especially the lava
. The combined force of the Bakur ,Slair and Sheel they forced the Empire
out of the system . This is the only time they have sort of worked together
.
Politics: Bakur find it easier to have one person make all the decisions ,as things are decided quicker, followed through quicker and nobody can really argue with it . So far this has worked since the leaders have been good and the Bakur's self respect for each other . They will hardly ever argue amongst themselves but will argue more with other species .
Technology Level: Bakur are capable of sublight travel and weak blasters and firearms . The first thing they learned to do was bash in each others heads so the second thing was making armor to prevent this . Bakur armor is very impressive technologically and in appearance.
