The Sago are a strange alien species native to Plusker (The Beyond 0214).

Physiology & Environment (Ecology)

The Sago are small (0.8m) bipeds. They have large heads with massive, pupiless eyes. They have slick, rubbery skin like a terran frogs, and chameleon color mimicry ability. They have no external orifices for eating, breathing or waste excretion, all of those functions being done through various parts of its epidermis. They are equally home in water and dry land, though they prefer wet environments.

Sexually dimorphous, their means of reproduction are still a mystery.

History & Background (Dossier)

When the world was first surveyed in 488, the explorers discounted them as non-sentient animals, and the world was slated for colonization.

Only by the chance participation of a IISS exchange officer were the creatures' sentience determined, and the world was interdicted.

Culture & Society (Ethnology)

Normally, the Sago do not show outward signs of culture, language (they communicate through low frequency sounds created by gas release under the skin) or intelligence, explaining the Corellians original mistaken impression.

Social Organization

Most of their population lives individually in small burrows, and most of their cultural interaction takes place underground or underwater.

Technology & Trade (Economy)

The Sago are TL–0 on their own, and have shown no signs of advancing beyond that.
