Background: An aquatic sentient species native to the planet Quarzite. Largely humanoid, the Belugans sported fleshy sideburns on the sides of their faces and had sectioned jaws that hid their baleen-like teeth. While the rest of the galaxy participated in the Clone Wars, the Belugans fought an ongoing conflict with the native Kage Warriors, who opposed Quarzite’s tyrannical leader, Lord Otua Blank. Despite being equipped with advanced technology, the Belugans nonetheless encountered Kage Warriors during the latters’ ambushes on the formers’ subtrams. This led to Blank hiring an outside team of bounty hunters to protect cargo travelling to his stronghold. Although the Belugan escorts were defeated, the bounty hunters successfully defended the cargo.
When the bounty hunter Asajj Ventress learned that the cargo was a living Kage girl who had been kidnapped from her home, Ventress ended up having a change of heart. Instead of delivering the girl to the Belugans, Ventress freed her and alternatively gave Lord Blank fellow bounty hunter Boba Fett, much to the dictator’s surprise.
Biology and Appearance
Belugans were an aquatic species that hailed from the planet Quarzite. Humanoid in stature, Belugans were most identifiable by their bald heads and four-sectioned jaws. Belugan faces were adorned with colorful “sideburns” which were actually fleshy extensions of their cheeks. Belugans had grayish-brown skin, while their flesh sideburns could come in either blue or orange varieties. Belugans had white eyes with black, vaguely star-shaped irises. Their unique, four-sectioned jaws, which had orange tips, hid baleen-like teeth and a prehensile tongue. Belugan mouths had the ability to drool when the individual experienced lust.
As a humanoid species, Belugans held several human characteristics, such as two arms that ended in five-fingered hands, two legs that supported the body, and an upright gait. Belugans were generally tall and thin, but it was possible for one to have more rotund sizes, as seen in the Belugan dictator, Lord Otua Blank.
Despite a notable biological difference, Blank was physically attracted to the Kage female, Pluma Sodi.
Society and Culture
The Belugans were a technologically advanced species that shared their world with the human-like Kage species. Both species lived under Quarzite’s surface, as the planet was wracked with highly pressurized environmental storms that did not provide a livable atmosphere. However, a space station was constructed at some point by the Belugans. The space station, built far outside the planet’s atmosphere, descended under Quarzite’s surface with a series of massive turbolifts. This allowed the Belugans to travel between their world and the space station, and in theory, leave the system. In addition, the Belugans also maintained a network of subtrams that weaved through Quarzite’s massive cave system.
Quarzite and its inhabitants were ruled by the Belugan dictator, Lord Otua Blank, who led an elite military force from a fortified compound. The military force consisted of soldiers and guards, and included the military rank of major. Soldiers wore full body armor and wielded blaster pistols that, when not in use, were holstered in a holster located on the armor’s gauntlet. Major Rigosso’s officer uniform consisted of a light-brown patterned tunic with a Belugan symbol on the chest. Both uniforms came with clawed-gloves.
Blank’s forces were tangled in a conflict with the Kage Warriors, a group of vigilante Kage who opposed Blank’s dictatorship over Quarzite. Despite Blank’s troops best efforts, the Belugan soldiers were ineffective against the Kage Warriors.
