Biology and Appearance
Sedrians are aquatic mammals about three meters long, covered in sleek yellow, brown, or gray fur. They have two arms with web-fingered hands, a pair of stabilizing fins at their hips, and legs which are joined together into a pair of tail flukes. The whiskers on their head could detect movement or changing electric fields underwater. Unlike most aquatic mammals, Sedrians had both gills and lungs.
Society and Culture
Sedrian society is based on the worship of the Golden Sun, a communal Force-sensitive intelligence living in a coral reef. All Sedrian technology was based on energy from the Golden Sun—even their medical science was limited to leaving the sick or injured in the Golden Sun's cavern so the Golden Sun could use Force healing on them. Few Sedrians were found away from Sedri, primarily because separation from the Golden Sun made them agitated, anxious, and sometimes violent. Those who were found offworld were usually slaves. Some of these Sedrians worked as underwater researchers or explorers.
