Vodrans, like the Klatooinians and Nikto, are a humanoid species permanently indentured to the Hutts. More than 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Hutts challenged a galactic tyrant named Xim the Despot for control of the Si'klaata Cluster. The Hutts sent ambassadors to Vodran, Kintan, and Klatooine in search of powerful allies. On Vodran, what they found instead were technologically primitive dianoga hunters and fisherfolk living in thatched huts. The Vodrans believed the Hutts were terrible gods and immediately bowed to their will.
After defeating Xim, the Hutts subsumed the Vodran homeworld into their stellar empire. The Vodrans have served their Hutt masters loyally ever since. Hutt culture quickly supplanted the Vodran way of life, The Vodrans created their own miniature Kajidics, imitating the clan structure of their sluggish overlords. Each Vodran clan answers to a powerful Hutt Kajidic. and though the Hutts gave hyperspace technology to their Vodran servants, few Vodrans would dare travel abroad without first seeking permission from their Hutt masters.
Few Vodrans possess sufficient individuality to reject the tenets of their society, but they are treated as outcasts. Sorne Hutts will hire bounty hunters to hunt down these freethinking traitors, while others could care less about the loss of one useless Vodran servant.
Vodran Characteristics
Personality: Vodrans are simple-minded beings who lack individuality, believing in the well-being of the Hutts regardless of how many Vodrans must die to protect that well-being. Unlike their Hutt masters, Vodrans partake of few, if any, diversions. They have trouble mastering complex social behaviors such as etiquette or innuendo.
Physical Description: Humanoid, with leathery brown skin. black featureless eyes, a flat nose, and a face ringed by horny protrusions, the average Vodran stands about 1.75 meters tall. A Vodran's underdeveloped facial muscles permit only a slight range of facial expressions.
Age Groups: Vodrans age at the following stages:
| CHILD | YOUNG ADULT | ADULT | MIDDLE AGE | OLD | VENERABLE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-11 Years | 12-16 Years | 17-44 Years | 45-64 Years | 65-79 Years | 80+ Years |
Homeworld: Vodran, one of many inhabited worlds in the Si'klaata Cluster (located in the Outer Rim), is a jungle world infested with predators and scavengers, including the loathsome dianoga. Many Hutts make their homes on Vodran, breaking the backs of their Vodran servants to maintain their opulent lifestyle.
Languages: The Hutts eradicated the Vodrans' ancient language millennia ago. Huttese is now the Vodrans' native language.
Example Names: Meido Lycri, Kl'ietu Mutela, Xenon Nnaksta, Lakren Plooru, Saran Yydek.
Adventurers: Vodrans are normally encountered outside of Hutt service only when they are sold to others. Occasionally, a Vodran overcomes his or her social conditioning and inbred inclination to obey authority. Other members of the species treat these freethinking individuals as renegades and lunatics. Vodran heroes are typically Scoundrels, Scouts, or Soldiers, although Force-users are also possible.
