History
The Chiss were a race of blue-skinned humanoids from the galaxy far, far away that lived on their home world of Csilla in the Unknown Regions.
Overview
In appearance, the Chiss were a race of blue-skinned humanoids that had distinctive red eyes.
Chiss are taught to approach their areas of specialization with intense focus and harsh logic, driving Chiss culture to suppress emotion and avoid hasty emotions such as anger, fear and revenge. From this emotional coolness, and despite a socialist economic model, Chiss culture stresses individual responsibility and self-discipline. While this might seem to make them ideal Jedi for their emotional restraint and responsibility, very few force-users have ever been reported in their culture.
Within Chiss society, children matured very quickly, never truly having an adolescent period before becoming adults.
The concept of open aggression was not seen as utterly alien to the Chiss. They simply view it as a flawed strategy which is more likely to result in the conqueror being the conquered.
Chiss must be approached from a position of strength and respect. One must have strength, for the Chiss will deal only with those capable of keeping their promises. One must have respect, for the Chiss must believe that those promises will be kept.
The native tongue of the Chiss was Cheunh that was a complex and creative language with an intricate syntax involving compound words made from a relatively small core of primary words, and the Chiss used detailed ideograms to represent concepts and combinations of images to represent complex ideas.
They were noted for their lack of droids, or any kind of artificial intelligence.
