Due to their lack of spacefaring abilities, the Twi'lek are dependent on neighboring star systems, along with smugglers and pirates, for much of their galactic interactions. While much of the galaxy sees them as shifty criminals and war mongers, Twi'leks stayed neutral during the Galactic Civil War. Their home of Ryloth consists of autonomous, subterranean cities connected by a complex network of chambers and passages. In actuality, the Twi'lek see their Lekku as 'spiritual appendages'. Their language consists not only of verbal communication, but also subtle movements of their lekku. This has caused much paranoia throughout the galaxy, for their conversations are seen as secretive and one sided. Twi'leks are very intelligent, and typically a peaceful species. The name Twi'lek' is believed to have derived from the words 'twin' and 'Lekku'. Their fingers typically have long, sharp, hard nails. The lekku are not only sensual appendages, but contain parts of the Twi'lek's brains, especially those pertaining to memories.The only hair on their body is their eyelashes, which aid in keeping the sand out of their eyes. They have normal human features, with the exception of two tentacle-like lekku protruding from the backs of their heads. Their skin is smooth, hairless, and ranges in color from bright blues, greens, and reds, to mellow yellows and oranges.
