Duontic

Biology, Construction and Appearance

The Duontic are an ionic species, where an individual looks, to most, like a amorphous energy emitting light so bright its hard to see their basic shape. Individually, they are a floating consciousness, with just enough energy to move and communicate in Ionic Wave, however when two are paired together they are able to possess and integrate into a “Shell”, made of metal and giving them a humanoid appearance. These Shells can be made from a variety of things, including old war armors or discarded Droid bodies. They are often what other species are used to when interacting with the Duontic, so the Galaxy usually knows them by a dual consciousness in a Shell as “one being”.

Culture & Utility

The Duontic made their homes in a system now called “82”, named after Starpoint Fel82 and Arc82. These two stars, denoted by their original starmap location, collided and cause a supernova explosion, destroying its small galaxy and scrambling the ionic particles, effectively killing the species. They are thought to be extinct in the Universe, although some leftover Shells are considered valuable artifacts.
