Pheromone

Pheromones were chemicals secreted by one lifeform to influence the behavior of other lifeforms, most often to attract members of another sex.

Though normally targeting members of the same species, some species such as the Falleen and Zeltrons had unusually powerful pheromones that could affect other humanoid or sentient races. These two species were also unusual in that they could exude pheromones at will, rather than unconsciously. Falleen sometimes could get the best result with exercise and concentration. Bith released pheromones to attract a mate, as they relied on machines to breed. Rodian pheromones were often described as foul-smelling. Greeata Jendowanian, a Rodian dancer, wore bracelets that would suppress her pheromones.

The Aing-Tii species communicated through pheromones, and created a device that could analyze their pheromones and translate them into Basic, to help them communicate with other species.
