Acute Senses: heightened hearing, smell and sense of touch
Weaknesses:
Weak Vision: Coming from burrows and the mountains of Chroma Zed their vision is weaker and highly sensitive to the light.
Small Size: The species size and small limbs makes them use more energy to run and try to keep up with other species of more normal stature. Their gear needs to be very customized compared to other works that they are unable to wear or use within the galaxy. Limiting their options of what technology they develop or use.
Races: There is only one
Diet: Their bodies can digest pretty much anything they eat usually in small amounts but humanoid food is safe. The basic poisons will adversely effect them and kill them if eaten in a high enough quantity to kill them.
Communication: Verbal
Culture: A nice and pleasant species they don't like conflict preferring intellect and finding overly complicated solutions to everyday problems or designs. Their minds are always looking for a new way to improve upon the designs of whatever they see and when it comes to technical knowledge they are some of the best in the galaxy to have fixing things. Their smaller hands and nible fingers makking them highly valued to invent and work on things while their diets normally attract them to employers for the less intake of food they produce.
As to art and style they are craftsmen and each family is generally part of a large house or clan that produces different styled but pleasing and well done inventions either for weapons or support and utility. It is not uncommon to see them spend days taking apart and rebuilding different pieces fo equipment to learn the inner workings of it all so they can affect repairs or even upgrades if needed and finding ones who don't have at least some technical knowledge is very rare but not impossible to have happen. The Ta-Ga-Shi also enjoy their neighbors on Chroma Zed.
Technology level: Galactic Standard
General behavior:
With Each other: They are dilligent worers who support and work to improve upon each others designs... within a family unit. Families and by extension those they marry into work together against others fiercely usually forming unions of marriage over inventions and ways to unite and compliment technologies for their inventions. They might find love but usually there is a need to get their status and the types of materials they might be able to get access to for their own ends.
With Outsiders: They are friendly, outsiders after all bring the good stuff, bring new technology and new materials as well as contracts which leads to their things being bought or chances to go offworld and lead some of those large workshops filled with hundreds even thousands of droids. hey will work with most who come to the world and provide them with whatever services they might need across the planet or with their tech to endear themselves.
The Force: Their skills with the force are usually with knowing how to understand and work with droids and technology but that is also just something they can train. The force might help but they spend their lives learning how to work the skills and learn how to focus it. For the ones who show skill and promise they are generally sent to be tested by the jedi or whoever has a force order near the planet and system. THeir history with them is well enough to trust that they will get treated fairly.
History: The tunnels and burrows of Chroma Zed with the wormlike natives, the Ta-Ga-Shi have spent most of their lives working with the natives of the planet to develop tunnels around the world as they all seemed to find a nice community. There wasn't much of interest or intrigue as they had disagreements but there was seen to be an entire planet they could search around. So a few battles here and there for mining rights or for some caves they could find formed up for all of them to see.
As time continued to go forward something else happened, no real major cities but an interconnected world where their trade deals with the others were making a small name for themselves with the theaters they created. This seemed to bring interest from others and people came from the skies to see them all, bringing new things, new technologies, new foods, new species that were massive compared to them all. The Ta-Ga-Shi was looking at them with interest to get around.
The years after first contact brought them into areas of new discovery with species across the galaxy as a whole. Presenting new ideas for what they would be able to do, new interest
Notable Player-Characters: N/A
Intent: To continue populating the galaxy with different species that can be alien but still familiar enough with humanoid drives and goals.
