The Brigians were a humanoid species native to the planet of Brigia, in the Tion Hegemony. They were thin and tall with purple skin and red eyes. The planet also had a sensitive ecosystem, requiring all incoming ships to undergo a phase-one decontamination before landing. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Yuuzhan Vong invaded Brigia. The native Brigians resisted at first, though they were eventually forced to go underground and begin a guerrilla war. The desperate Brigians pleaded with the Corporate Sector Authority for help, but the business minded organization ignored them. Ultimately, the surviving Brigians were enslaved and implanted with surge-coral implants.
Biology and appearance[]
The Brigians were a sentient, humanoid species that had a tall, reedy,[1] gawkish anatomy. Brigian shoulders were narrow,[3] extending toward two, thin arms, each with a long, slender hand. These hands exuded greasy secretions.[1] Most members of the species had skinny posteriors, and their legs and feet were too narrow to fit into standard-sized combat boots. Brigian ankles were slender and strangely boned. There was some variation in body size; for example, Inspector Keek was broadly built for his species, and possessed considerable strength.[3] The Brigians had elongated skulls,[1] small, bud-like noses,[3] and eyes that protruded from their skull. These had tiny, red pupils. The Brigians had purple skin pigmentation,[1] which varied in darkness between individuals. Brigian anatomy also included lateral folds, which could be used to conceal small items such as weapons or pouches.[3]
