Umbrites are a tusked mammalian species from the planet Zhu-Zhu Hwai in the Triangulum Galaxy
Biology
The Umbrites are mammalian, they are descendants of burrowing subterranean creatures, their ancestry is most likely the explanation for the large tusks which pultrude from their faces, they have sunken in eyes, small nostrails and mouths, and blueish-grey skin.
Reproduction
The Umbrites have three sexes, two fertile, one sterile, the fertile males and females mate and the sterile females nurse the children.
Culture and Society
Umbrites have a very large population, the 8 billion Umbrites who live on their homeworld all dwell in close-knit underground cities. their interconnected cities all have a say in the capital Plyx Gribnath.
Though they are not insectoid, they have an insect like societal structure and form very deep bonds and friendships, even between species, they are also noted for being quite adapted to life on starships, due to their natural environment of confined cities.
History
Though it is unknown how, the Umbrites were members of the Systems Commonwealth, after the coming of the long night, Umbrites can still be found in the employment of starships and in the residence of Drifts.
