Human

Space travelers have a saying: “There’s a human on every planet.” Although not entirely true, humans are easily the galaxy’s most ubiquitous species. With a capacity to adapt to new worlds, assimilate with alien cultures, and an unmistakable affinity with the Force, humans thrive in many environments that other species find hostile or unpleasant. While the Sith Empire is dominated by humans, even the inclusive ranks of the Republic are often filled by the adaptable human species.

Nowhere is human adaptability more apparent than within the Sith Empire. Millennia ago, human Dark Jedi ventured to the Sith homeworld of Korriban and intermarried with the powerful Sith species. Over the centuries, human bloodlines mixed with the Sith to form a new, mostly-human species known as pureblood Sith, distinguished primarily by red skin and facial tendrils. Others lost their Sith features entirely to appear as humans with only a faint trace of Sith blood linking them to their ancestors. Today, the Imperial military is staffed almost exclusively with humans, and the Empire remains strongly biased against other species.
