Physiology:
The Amarans are small-sized creatures that share
vulpine and canine heritage. They are covered in fur,
which is typically red-orange with a white spot on the
chest. Their fur is relatively short aside from their
bushy tail and tufted cheeks. They have a pointed
white muzzle with a small mouth. They also have
small black eyes and a black nose, and their ears are
large and pointed. While the Amarans have no toes,
they do have four-fingered hands with thin claws.
Society:
The Amarans are a social people, so many work in
roles related to leadership. They are a mobile species
that likes to form colonies. Even more Amaran travel
for business and job opportunities. Negotiation comes
spending far longer than other species in the process.
While this long-winded bargaining can be a waste of
time in some cases, many Amaran manage much
better deals when they make others cave out of
frustration. Many are also good at dealing with
animals, so some find work as ranchers or beast
charmers. Others combine these abilities to sell
animals. Unlike some other furred creatures, they
typically wear clothing.
Amarans and the Trade Federation:
While the Amarans originally hail from Amar, their
nature for business makes many of them travel
offworld. In particular, many have worked with the
Trade Federation as managers or middle men. One of
the planets that many have come to for business is
Vulpter. This highly polluted Deep Core planet had
many Amarans, who made up about six percent of the
population. It was used as a storage world for the
Trade Federation, with its underground facilities
managed by immigrant Amarans while the native
Vulptereen handled menial labor. This arrangement
meant that the Amarans were greatly disliked by the
Vulptereen. The Amarans on Vulpter were also
disliked by their own people, as their homeworld
chose to stay with the Republic. After the end of the
Clone Wars, the Amaran immigrants who worked for
their Trade Federation suddenly lost their offworld
benefactors in addition to being trapped on the planet
by Imperial regulations regarding the Deep Core. With
their hostile relations combined with poverty, the life
for Amarans on Vulpter is now difficult.
Homeworld:
The Amarans originally come from Amar, a terrestrial
Inner Rim world. However, they are often seen on
other planets. Many live on the watery Mid Rim world
of Naboo, where they inhabit swamps and work as
ranchers for the native bursa. These swamps also
feature a primitive species, the Gungans. Those on
Vulptereen and other worlds related to the Trade
Federations mostly focus on business management,
leadership, and other white-collar jobs. They can also
be found on many other planets like Coruscant, often
as merchants or traders.
Language:
Amarans often know many languages, as they like to
travel and be social. Typically, Basic is one of them.
