Lyunesi

The Lyunesi were a fragile species of humanoids, one of six that were native to the planet Ryoone. Their faculty in translating languages and capturing every nuance of body language ensured their survival on their homeworld, which was dominated by intense competition among its indigenous species. The Lyunesi also made use of their linguistic ability offworld, serving as comm handlers at communications nexuses across the galaxy. However, in their encounters with other species, their sensitivity to body language could lead individual Lyunesi to develop an all-consuming passion for another being, which compromised their rationality. The Lyunesi comm handler Oph Nar Dinnid was forced to flee his employment in the Narrant system after that condition led him to have an affair with the alpha concubine of his liege-lord. Dinnid fled to the Shell Hutts for protection but was eventually killed by the Shell Hutt Gheeta.
