Species Name: Desphens, commonly referred to as Gekks.

Height: Male: 6ft 6in to 8ft 0in, Female: 6ft 0in to 7ft 4in.

Weight: Male: 275lbs to 435lbs, Female 230lbs to 395lbs.

Skin Type: Scales.

Skin Color: Red, Green, Dark Grey, Tan, Brown, and Dark Blue.

Eye Color: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Grey.

Appearence: Reptilian-Humanoid appearence with traits similiar to that of Snakes and Lizards.

Physical Attributes: Lizard like head (Iguana and Gecko mix). Vertical Slit pupils. Tough thick skin resistant to some energy weapons. Sharp lizard like claws on hands and feet. Thick tail that ranges in length from 2 to 3ft shorter then the creatures height. Tail has sharp angled scales on the bottom that allow it to grip to surfaces when climbing up, or along surfaces (even if it is upside down). Snake like Forked tongue. Snake like retractable fangs in mouth with short, sharp lizard like teeth, the fangs can inject a powerful non-lethal hallucinogenic venom based on the dosage the effects can last from a few minutes to an hour. No nose (uses tongue to smell like a snake). Color changing pigments in their skin allow them to change color hide (like Chameleons)they have also designed their clothers to react to the color changes and to mimic the colors. Can run up to speeds of 30mphs but only for short periods of time. They are able to generate their own body heat and their skin insulates them against cold temperatures. The cannot regenerate lost limbs.

Language:
Despheth: They comminucate with a wide range of high to low pitch hisses and clicks. Do to there lack of traveling to another planet, their language is not known except to those who have visted the world and have been taught to understand it, Gekks do not teach outsiders how to speak their language as it is sacred to their culture.
Galactic Basic: Also known as the Trade Language, it was necessary for Gekks to learn how to speak and understand the language in order to partake in trading. A large majority of the population understands Galactic Basic and can speak it.

Aging: Gekks can live up to 200 years, few are able to surpass that number by handful of years. The Gekksian life cycle after birth consists of three stages, for the first 50 years that is their childhood and teen years, the next 100 years is their Adulthood, the last 50 years is their Senior years which is characterized by a loss of color pigments in the skin, causing it to turn dark grey along with their eyes.

Reproduction: Gekk Females lay fertilized eggs a few days to a week after mating. The embreyos grow fast and hatch in 3 months.

Culture: Gekks maintain a proud and honest culture and show respect to all members of society. Thieves and Liars are viewed as Outcasts and are shunned from everyday life. They also hold respect for their planet and will defend it from anything that threatens it. Gekks are expected to be strong, brave, honest, and respectful members of their planets society and to be respectful of another planets society. The Force is looked down upon and any members discovered of being a force user is exiled from society, the Force is seen as an unfair advantage to non-force using members and Gekks do whatever possible to prevent it's influence on their planet. Outsiders are viewed carefully but if one proves to be an honest and respectful being they are welcomed with opened arms. Gekks are also interested in outsider technology and view trading as a source of oneness and knowledge with the universe. Gekks only partake in War with other systems if it threatens their homeworld and culture. Males are raised to be warriors, leaders, traders, carpenters and pilots. Females are mainly raised as tailors and cooks but it is not outlandish for females to become traders or warriors. Gekks can become quiet hostile when threatened and during times of increased hostility and anger their eyes turn black as result of a chemical reaction in the brain. Gekks celebrate the miracle of life and honor the death of loved ones in a way similar to humans, it is unknown whether they always did or if it was picked up through trading with humans. Due to their respect and honor it is rare to find a Gekk Bounty Hunter, Spy or Assassin.

Technology: Gekks have a high enough level of technology that allows them to travel between other systems but rarely venture to other planets that have yet to prove if they are respectful and honest. They have developed their own stealth generators but since spying is outlawed in their culture such devices are used for defensive purposes only, though they could easily be used for spying, Gekks rarely commit such activities due to their respect for their culture. The majority of technology the Gekks posses is acquired through trade with other races.

---------------------------------------------
Leadership: A grand council runs the planet, consisting of 8 elected members. Members can server as long as they live, but can also be voted out of office. They live and work in the Grand Hall located in the center of Hecshek, the capital city of Desphair.

Galactic Position: Neutral, the Council is split on who to support and have decided to stay neutral but has allowed the Empire to build it's facility and has allowed the rebel outpost to exist.
