Greetings everyone, I'm very happy to be to here today, as a rather new Roleplayer as a whole to the board, to share information on one of my personal favourite species: the Sephi. And offer up my reasonings why I'd love to personally explore, develop and grow them, as well as integrate them, here on SL if allowed too.
Sephi Biology:
In Legends, the Sephi, an almost elfin-like species with pointed ears and multiple skin hues, that being of pale purple, blue, a verity of pinkish hues, and even many having Human-like skin-tones, are the native and only known inhabitants of the planet of Thustra. Their eye colours ranged from black or brown, and their hair-colours could come in black, blond, grey or white; the species itself could interbreed with other humanoid species, most notably Humans and Arkanians, and they could live anywhere from 200~400 years in age. The Sephi are only known to speak the language of Galactic Basic Standard.
(Please see this link and this link, if you personally wish to look the Sephi and their Homeworld up yourself within Legends.)
While within the current Canon, information on them is very much so more scares. It's stated that "Their skin tones include that of lavender and peach,", so somewhat Human-like, at least with their peach colouring. Their eyes came in either green or blue, and they lived rather long lives, though not stated how long as it is in Legends. It is not stated whether they can interbreed or not, or what language they spoke. Whilst their Homeworld was that of Thustra in Legends, it has been changed to Isobe within the new Canon.
(Please see this link this link, and this link, if you personally wish to look the Sephi and their Homeworld up yourself within Canon.)
The Two Homeworlds: Thustra and Isobe
Thustra
The Homeworld of the Sephi people, the planet is located within the Expansion Region, on the Grid coordinates O-7. The main terrain of the planet is that of Plains, Forests and Mountains. Some points of interest during the Clone Wars, where the Sephi is most heavily introduced, include Alaric's garden, Alaric's palace and Thustra Republic command centre. No major exports are listed.
Isobe
The royal family of Isobe (Sephi Monarchs), lived on the planet of Isobe. The planet is located in the same position as Legends, that being O-7, and has two suns. Its main terrain is that of Jungles, Lakes and Mountains, while their only known export was the Tynzo crystal, which was red in colour and was used it to reinforce glass so that said glass is able to withstand hyperspace jumps.
Please Note: From here on out, most information will strictly be that of Legends as Canon information doesn't offer all that much up other than the basics stated above.
With most of the big differences out of the way, I would like to explore more on the Legends side of things, where the planet of Thustra appeared briefly during the Clone Wars era comic, "Jedi: Yoda,". Originally part of the Republic, the Sephi, ruled by the King Alaric, would later switch sides and join with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. From here, the Republic would strike hard to regain the system, along with sending Jedi, and even Master Yoda himself, to the planet. I'll keep it spoiler free for those wishing to maybe look up the information, but eventually, Thustra falls and is absorbed back into the Republic. This, other than a brief mention about the Yuuzhan Vong invasion (a single line), is the last bit of information offered up within Legends.
Because of this, it can be assumed that there is around ~53 years of information that could be speculated and added onto here on the SL board, which is why, once more, I'd love the opportunity explore, develop and grow them, as well as integrate into future Roleplay here on the site I've become to think rather fondly of.
Thank you.
