Neimoidian
The Neimoidians are the dominate sapient species in a handful of planetary systems within the same sector as their homeworld, Neimoidia. The Neimoidia system itself is scarcely populated, since Neimoidians in general prefer to live offworld. Clothing represents status in Neimoidian society, which is why most Neimoidians traveling abroad favor long robes of rich fabrics with elaborate collars, hats, and cloaks.
Neimoidians have two primary motivations: to control their surroundings at all times and to aquire as much wealth and power as they can. The latter goal might seem a logical means of attaining the former, but to a Neimoidian, the pursuit of wealth and power is an end unto itself. Such traits gave rise to the Trade Federation, one of the most powerful and influential economic forces in the Galactic Republic. Not all Neimoidians serve the Trade Federation, but few independent Neimoidians get by without maintaining strong ties to the Trade Federation and its members.
