- Average Lifespan: 65
- Estimated Population: Unique
- Description: Nouqai is a bio-engineered creature of Darth Carnifex. Developed by multiple sith alchmists and scientiest in a lab under the imperial palace, tangent with the creation of the sotezi-rathtar. Through stitching genetic samples of carefully selected species in an attempt to create a breed of formidable force sensitive sentients that would thrive both in land and sea to deliver His will. However, after many trials, only two samples had developed past the 2 week mark. The only Nouqai, having survived outside the controlled environment of the incubation clone pod that it was broken out of by intruding Jedi at the facility.
- Breathes: Type 1 (Amphibious) - via cutaneous respiration and gills
- Average Height of Adults: 1.7m - 2.5m
- Average Length of Adults: N/A
- Skin color: Blue
- Hair color: Blue, red, purple
- Distinctions: Naturally, Nouqai has large eyes with dark sclera and cyan pupils. There are semi-reflective scales on the face, shoulders, arms and legs. They have subtle gills along the side of their neck as well as air-permeable mucus coated skin breathe with. With the most formidable feature being the long cephalopod tentacles as a substitute for hair which can grow up to 5m in length with time. Due to their amphibious-aquatic nature, they have a streamlined body to minimise drag in water as well as webbed feet and fingers that are clawed at the tips. They have sharper teeth than your average human. They are cold blooded and their blood is blue. They are an all-female species and biologically parthenogenic with low fertility rates.
- Races: N/A
- Force Sensitivity: All (subject to all force null effects)
- Sonic Scream: At about late teens, the vocal cords of Nouqai develops to which point are able to unleash a sonorous scream comparable in intensity to a sonic weapon; placing significant strain on their throats. Unlike the ersansyr which the trait is inherited from, it is no where near powerful enough to kill, at most throwing a target violently off course or deafening temporarily.
- Night Vision / Underwater Vision: The Nouqai eyes are able to see incredibly well in the dark and in the underwater depths.
- Alluring Voice: Unlike the enthralling song of their ersansyr counter parts, the voice of Nouqai is smooth and reverberates with a frequency that can influence one's actions in their favor. Due to its subtlety, it works well in persuasion or the diffusion of a heated situation. This is different from Mind Trick, as it is applicable to those that are not weakminded and does not require the movement of hand.
- Tentacles: The tentacles on her head can grow up to 5m, it can take up to 25 years to reach such lengths. If developed enough can be utilised as extra limbs to pick up objects and even weild weapons. They are rather powerful, taking on from the rathrar which the tentacles are genetically derived from. They are full of muscle tissue and nerves and are able to gradually grow back if severed.
- Regeneration: Triggered only when immersed in oxygenated saltwater. Depending on the severity of wounds, Nouqai is able to regenerated at a slightly accelerated rate. However, this healing is not nearly as vigorous as a full becta treatment.
- Spit Ink: Capable of spitting clouds of black ink as a defensive measure in combat, such ink could also be released from Nouqai's body when cut open at the solar plexus. Due to is viscousity, the ink takes some effort to get rid off, it also slightly stings and irritates open wounds and membranes.
- Amphibious Respiratory: She uses the moisture on her skin and gills to breathe. If her skin is allowed to dry out, she will struggle to breathe and eventually suffocate like a fish out of water.
- Light-sensitive Eyes: Can be temporarily blinded by bright lights. Nouqai's eyes take longer to adjust.
- Becta Inefficacy: Effects takes significantly longer due to the unqiue nature of Nouqai's permeable skin. She will struggle to respirate and even suffocate if submerged in becta for an extensive amount of time.
- Lower Tolerance to drugs and alcohol.
- Food Sensitivity: Consuming a variety of plant foods would not only would cause nutritional deficiencies but would also trigger adverse reactions including vomiting, nausea, lethargy and a bad rash.
- Diet: Mostly Carnivorous with an inclination to pescatarianism
- Communication: Speech, Pheromones, Sign and Telepathy (underwater)
- Technology level: Galactic Standard
- Religion/Beliefs: Free-willed with darkside inclination due to alchemy
- General behavior: Action speaks louder than words, Nouqai is usually quiet and reserved, mostly speaking when she has to. They switch from extremes during combat, possessing wisdom and patience when not in battle, but can be rather impatient, ravenous and violatile during due to their predatory instincts and traits derived from the rathrar.
As result of genetic bioengineering and alchemy, the only way of reproduction is via parthenogenis if not through artificial cloning. However, the chance of fertility and success is incredibly low. The offspring hatches from eggs. And due to their cephalopodic nature, the health of the mother would rapidly decline after spawning and eventually lose their ability to thrive anywhere that isn't water, becoming waterborne.

Nouqai was raised by Jedi and trained in the ways of the Jedi, however, their darkside inclination eventually resulted them in turning away from the order.
