1.) So, the origin of the Namman are that they are genetically enhanced clones of clones of a tribe of Chiss, who live anywhere between two hundred and four hundred years, are twice as strong as human but have 75% of movement speed and can not use the Force. They have a highly advanced technological level, but are based upon the ancient technology of the Rakata...which requires use of the Force, so they can't use their own technology? And they aren't really clones of clones of a tribe of Chiss? When you say they aren't really Chiss but offshoot Humans, are you referring to the Namman or the Chiss? Please clarify this confusion. (As a side note, the Chiss never had tribes...they were a modern Human, in Star Wars terms, colony that was forced underground and overtime adapted to that environment on Csilla over thousands of years to become Chiss, starting in 27,000 BBY, but seem to always have been more organized than a tribal culture. They are, and seem to always have been, a meritocratic nobility.)

2.) Their lifespan is a direct point of contention for me. If you are basing them off of Chiss, their average lifespan is eighty years old, and that of a Human by Star Wars standards, is one hundred to one hundred and fifty, up to three hundred in a strong Force Sensitive. So, with lack of any Force Sensitivity at all, and the high gravity environment (thus a high physiological stress environment) they would have a very drastically short lifespan compared to what you are seeking...more in the range of forty to eighty years, maybe a few lucky ones could hit ninety, at most.

3.) Their height. If it is a high gravity environment, they are NOT going to be this tall. Nor are they going to be as lean as your average weight suggests. They would be more like...dwarves of fantasy lore, such as Lord of the Rings or BioWare's Dragon Age series. With a high gravity environment, they just wouldn't develop this way, their bone structure would be unable to handle the stress. However, the twice as strong but only three quarters the mobility...I think I can live with, although I would like to hear Jace's thoughts on this matter before reaching a conclusion.

4.) Lightly making my way into the technology, if they are based on the Rakata, they are first off not going to be on par with the rest of the Galaxy...and secondly, since they are not Force Sensitive they will be unable to use ANY of the Rakata technology. If you pay attention to dialogue in the game and text in sourcebooks mentioning them, the Rakata themselves, lacking any Force Sensitivity by the time of KotOR, could not use their very own technology and thus was why they were in their primitive state on the brink of extinction. So, if the Namman are unable to use the Force and thus their technology, who does?

5.) If they are isolationist, how do they know what the rest of the galaxy is? If they are so afraid of the Rakata, why would they venture offworld? Why would they sign a non-aggression pact with the Empire, who they would, under these circumstances, haven't a clue as to who or what they were, or any species but themselves and the Rakata? Why would they want to send a Representative to the Senate? All it would do is draw attention to themselves and probably cause the Empire to annex their world. If you read into the Rakata and list to in-game dialogue, the Rakata seem to have a massive amount of information control on their slaves, which made the uprising that much more impressive, and if they are isolationist, all the Namman are going to know is who and what they are, and probably nothing else. It is also unlikely that they would have been cloned or genetically altered from any other species, because the Rakata just didn't go for that. Thus, they would have to be their own, unique, native people.

Please, clarify any questions raised thus far, and make your defense.

Jace:

1.) Yeah i realise now that the chiss thing is kinda confusing and i thought they were known at this time. My error(will erase that part)
2.) Ack, i completely forgot about changing that, They started with Rakata style technology and worked off of that, but they havent had long to do that so their technology is relatively primative. However technically the fact that they have space travel does make them Technologically advanced(to a degree)
3.) Only a few of their ships have Hyperdrive engines, they do have laser and turbolaser technology. Their warships are only system defense ships.
4.) They do know whats going on in the galaxy because they trade with other species, and they do do mining outside of their home system. As for the non-agression pact, its not really an intricate part of the request, so it can go.

Just a note that much of my board posting is on pause because I am waiting for Jace to respond, they are kinda on pause until he continues the posting on that Salvage thread. And there hasnt been much of any activity in the RP room, and having difficulty actually doing any rp.

Orion:

1.) Namman are actually genetically modified clones of humans. Over the years they have managed to copy the Rakatan technology, reverse engineering and such, and their technology doesnt require the force to use. This is the key reason why it has taken them so long to start catching up with the rest of the galaxy.
2.) Lifespan of 40-90 is fine.
3.) Height of 4'8"-5'6" then? weight of 170-240 pounds?
4.) See number 1
5.) Alright heres what im thinking then: Their not clones, they are a seperate race all together, during the wars that saw the defeat of the Infinite Empire, they were a race of people that at that point(had about the technological level and understanding as current day -2010- Humans), but they had been found previously by the Rakata and forced into slavery. When the wars came that finished the Rakata, the Rakatans were forced off of the Nammans homeworld(not by the Nammans).

As for the thing with the Empire Im willing to loose that all together.
