Wadan
Wadan are often compared to bats due to the thin membranes between their arms and legs. In fact, these winglike structures are fins, allowing Wadans to swoop with grace and speed through dark waters. Wadan skin has a blue-green tinge and is translucent in places.
Their bulging, glowing eyes can move and focus independently.
Highly civilized and neutral in galactic conflicts, Wadans are natives of the stormy oceans of Drest. Today, many of their coral-encrusted underwater vent cities feature air-filled spaces for terrestrial dignitaries and expatriates, with trading outposts studding the ocean world’s crusty shell of surface ice. While Wadans primarily rely on sonar as they glide wraithlike through the dark oceans, their cities are riots of colored lights—testaments to the culture’s rich artistic tradition.
Although slower out of water, Wadan warriors are renowned for their calm precision in battle, especially in zero-g and underwater, and known for using cryo weapons against enemies of other races, trusting their natural resistances to protect them from friendly fire.
Wadan are as mysterious as the ocean planets they live on. While they are open to and hospitable to air breathing visitors a large portion of their daily lives is still unknown to terrestrial visitors.
