The Thisspiansians
Thisspiansian are known to be “defiant, passionate and disciplined.” Physically they are 6 meters with serpentine bodies, yet they have a head with a distinctive beard. FFG’s full article mentions that they have four arms yet the art works only shows two.
As a Thisspiansian, players will gain a starting rank in Discipline and they also have a unique method of rest. Instead of sleeping, they enter a trance-like state and only need two hours of this ‘meditation’ to equal a full night’s rest.
The Tholothians
Tholothian are the next race covered in the new Sourcebook. With their mostly humanoid appearance (except for the clear tendrils) they easily blend in with most of Imperial Society. In fact, from the oldest days of the Republic, the Tholothians were early to assimilate and adopt the culture. They had close ties to Jedi Temples and were fully integrated in the culture.
That all changed when the Empire took over after the Republic fell. The planet of Tholoth, which used to have lots of non-native life, was quickly ‘purged’ of non-Tholothian Culture by the Imperial censors. This greatly destabilized their way of life.
Players who choose Tholothian as their race will benefit from their social graces with other races thanks to their starting rank in Knowledge (Xenology).
The Vurk
The Vurk are described as “a reptilian race with… tall head-crests and dark, bulbous eyes.” They can breath underwater and in the open air. They are known as Galactic Nomads for their frequent relocations. They mostly prefer warmer, wetter climates but can make due on in the cold.
As Vulk, players will also gain a starting rank in Negotiation due to their frequent interations with the other cultures.
These three new races and a whole lot more will be available when Unlimited Power is released later this year!
Unlimited Power $29.95
The dissolution of the Jedi Order has reopened alternative paths of communing with the Force; no longer bound by strict rules and regulations, the Mystic interacts with the Force in ways that might seem foreign to the Jedi of old. Some have merged their politics with the Force while others imbue artifacts with the power of the Living Force through alchemy. Unlimited Power is a new sourcebook for Mystic characters in the Star Wars™: Force and Destiny roleplaying game, expanding their options from the core rulebook by introducing three new specializations, new species, new equipment, and more.
