Bokkens are a sentient species hailing from the planet Zumogon III . Known for their fluffy bodies, jovial personalities and nomadic lifestyles.
Biology:
Having evolved to survive in the extreme colds of their frozen world, Bokkens possess some of the most insular and protective fur of any known being. This shaggy coat, soft to the touch, allows some degree of of protection from external dangers, capable of blocking slash attacks and even absorbing low level laser fire. Their stubby arms and legs, while not as strong as many other species, have the unique ability to extend and contract their length by up to twice their original mass allows the Bokkens to morph into a ball-like shape, granting them the ability to traverse via rolling (sometimes exceeding 80mph), a trait used on their homeworld to constantly evade predators and oncoming blizzards. The most notable trait of the Bokken however, is their elongated eye stalks, capable of moving independently from one another, Bokkens possesses a 360 degree field of vision, offering great spatial awareness at all times.
History:
Much of Bokken history is tied to their nomadic way of life. Having existed on the mostly barren world of Zumogon for millennia, their culture had evolved to match the planets harsh way of life. With an ever present need to move locations less they succumb to the icy winds of constant blizzards, Bokken tribes had not progressed much beyond simple huts before they were discovered a mere 200 hundred years ago by a Coalition expeditionary force. After studying the Bokkens and their world, the Coalition departed, leaving a loose protection zone around the system to prevent interference in the Bokken way of life by outside forces. Nevertheless, more and more traders began to arrive on Zumogon III, and after discovering the peculiar and exotic Likasri moss that Bokkens cultivated for sustenance, traded their technology for this foodstuff. Over the next few centuries, Bokken society rapidly evolved, constructing moving cities and towns that functioned as mobile hubs for trade across the planets dangerous terrain. Thousands of Bokkens left their homeworld in search of riches and wider adventures, finding work across all manner of specialities as they adapted to the interstellar community. Never in one place for too long, many Bokkens work as traders, smugglers and pirates in their quest to explore far beyond the confines of their once mundane existence.
