Miraluka



The Miraluka are a Near-Human, Force-sensitive species.

Biology and appearance
They differ from Humans in that they lack eyes - instead, bearing only vestigial eye sockets - and perceive the environment around them through the Force instead of regular vision. This vision is so strong that if a Miralukan looks upon a Jedi or Sith they can "see" the Force radiation off them. The strength of a Miralukan's connection to the Force varies by individual.

Miraluka, as Near-Humans, can interbreed with baseline humanity. Humans with Miraluka blood include Krynda and Lucien Draay. It has been said that such mating will result in unknown difficulties.

Society and culture
Their adopted homeworld is Alpheridies; a planet the Miraluka migrated to when their original homeworld was rendered uninhabitable. A colony world of the Miraluka named Katarr was stripped of all life by Sith Lord Darth Nihilus in approximately 3,952 BBY, during a Jedi convocation.

Miraluka are a thoughtful, cautious, and deliberative species. They have little interest in personal gain or glory. For moral reasons, Miraluka hide their appearance by wearing a headband, a mask, or similar concealing headwear. As a Force-using species, Miraluka are often quite shocked if shown life not connected to the Force.

Many Miraluka worship two gods, Ashla and Bogan, through the philosophy of The Greater Force. They do not believe in Good or Evil; but they are convinced to accept both life and death.
