Pantoran
The Pantorans are blue-skinned near-humans native to the moon Pantora. They were part of the Galactic Republic, during the waning years of that government.
Pantorans are a sentient species that look very similar to humans. They have two legs, two arms ending in five-fingered hands, a torso and a single head. Like humans, they also have two sexes, male and female. However, all Pantorans have blue skin that turns indigo when they blushed, and yellow eyes. They grow hair on the top of the head, and, in males, on the lower parts of the face. The color of their hair varies from white and purple to blue and black. Some Pantorans also display simple golden facial tattoos as a symbol status. These tattoos are based on ancient Pantoran texts. Known individuals range from 1.65 to 1.77 meters in height. The Pantorans have a greater resilience to low temperatures than humans.
The Chiss, a more obscure blue-skinned species, are sometimes mistaken for Pantorans. However, unlike the Pantorans, the Chiss have red eyes.
Most Pantorans adorn their faces with yellow markings that signify their family affiliation. Those who have no loyalties toward a family, bare no markings at all. The Pantoran regime is a democracy, and its governing body is the Pantoran Assembly.
Pantoran architecture is very vertical: whereas other cultures leave their rooftops bare, Pantorans will not waste space, building more structures atop others and planting gardens. Their cities are elegant and somber, built amongst dreary marshy tundra that stretches away beneath overcast skies.
Some Pantorans are known to worship an unnamed moon goddess.
Pantorans hail from Pantora, the moon of the ice planet Orto Plutonia.
In the decades that led to the rise of the autocratic First Galactic Empire, the Pantorans were members of the Galactic Republic. As such, they had full representation in the Republic Senate on Coruscant. During this time, they explored Orto Plutonia and believed that nothing lived there.
During the Clone Wars, a Republic security force was established on Orto Plutonia. When the Republic lost all contact with that force, Pantoran dignitaries accompanied the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to investigate the disappearance of the Republic troopers.
At some point, the Trade Federation imposed a blockade on Pantora, with the intention of forcing the moon's inhabitants to join the Confederacy. Although many Pantorans demanded that their new chairman, Papanoida, yield to the Trade Federation, he chose to rely on Senator Riyo Chuchi instead. Eventually, Chuchi was able to force the Trade Federation into lifting the blockade by threatening to reveal that the Federation had abducted the chairman's daughters.
