Enso

The Ensos were a species of near-Humans from the planet Ensolica. They were acclimated to the arctic conditions of their homeworld, a planet of ice sheets and frozen tundra with only a strip of temperate land along the equator. These adaptations made Ensos completely at home in sub-zero temperatures. Nevertheless, that cold resistance was matched by a vulnerability to high temperatures. In desert climates, such as that of the planet Tatooine, Ensos were forced to wear awkward, full-body coolth suits to avoid near-instant heatstroke.

Enso cities were carved into the ice of Ensolica. To maximize the productive capacity of a forbidding landscape and feed their population, the species mastered hydroponics technology. Their breakthroughs in the field attracted the attention of such corporations as Alderaan Biotics and Tusus Comestibles, who wooed Enso technicians and specialists to work for them across the galaxy.
