Kubaz



The Kubaz or Kubazian were an insectivorous species native to the planet Kubindi  in the Outer Rim Territories.

Biology and Appearance
Their physiology includes long snouts for sucking insects out of hives, green-black skin, pointed heads growing with black bristles, and two-toed feet. Additionally, their sensitive eyes have to be covered when on other worlds with yellow or red suns. Kubaz use hand gestures that indicate their intentions. For example, a palm down indicated agreement.

Society and Culture
Before the discovery of space travel, the Kubaz suffered the intense radiation storms from Ku'Bakai. Living in hives, they maintained a supply of insects to eat. However, shortages and clan raids led to all-out war between the clans. Known as the Hive Wars, the species would have gone extinct except for the discovery of insecticulture, a science which allowed for the insects to be color-coded, identifying which hive they belonged to.

Many Kubaz abroad are spies sent to other worlds by their respective hives to learn about other worlds' politics, cultures, and cuisine (to the Kubaz, this would be native insects). Their taste for insects sometimes causes problems. Not recognizing insectoid beings as anything other than a food source, Kubaz sometimes illegally purchase the bodies and body parts of sentient insectoid species. Spying, however, is not the only path Kubaz take; but rather they are a highly educated species that appreciate art, music, and literature. They are social beings that focus on mannerism and refinement and embrace traditions and history of their kind.
