High strength characters aren't too bad provided they're ballanced. I think Esoomians have enough disadvantages to offset their huge strength. And even with 7d strength and great armour if the ship they're riding in is vaped they still die.

Normally I go for the more cunning, quicker characters myself but I felt like a change and took an esoomian. And yes something has actually managed to hurt him

I was loooking for the Yuzzum on google, and I came up with this (It doesn't seem to fit to me)

Dexterity: 2D / 4D+1
Knowledge: 2D / 4D
Mechanical: 2D / 4D
Perception: 1D / 3D+2
Strength: 2D / 4D
Technical: 2D / 3D+2

As long as those are stats for a Yuzzum, and not a Yuzzem then it’s fine by me.

Nautolan are in D20 in Ultimate Alien Anthology but your guess is as good as mine for converting them. Sorry Dr. Gonzo. Anyone know where to go for that?

Actually it might have been yuzzem, I'm not sure about that.

Is this what you're talking about when you say Yuzzem?

http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=http://www.rebelscum.com/comics/dhswsplinterofthemindseye2.jpg&text=Star%20Wars:%20Splinter%20of%20the%20Mind's%20Eye%202

or http://www.wheelon.com/comics/splinter_of_the_minds_eye.htm

Rather than Yuzzum which is http://www.starwarssource.net/sws_display.php?template=1&document=93

Vastly different species but I think a Yuzzum is canon and a Yezzem is EU

I think that could be it, but they look different in my book, kind of like bipedal sabre-toothed tigers except with the tusks on the bottom jaw.

Check your book. See if the Yuzzem come from Mimbam if so then that's the same critters. They've just been drawn differently

Nope, they are from Ragna III.

Well either there are two very similar species or the ones in the comic book I referenced are not native to the planet they were encountered on.

Could be, or perhaps they changed it, or that’s the name of a different planet.

My all-time favourite alien race is the "Trianii". I really love cat-like beings! In addition their background story and culture is very facinating. I even created a character template for a "Trianii Ranger" loosely based upon the story of female ranger Atuarre from "Han Solo at Star's End".

Among my other favourites are "Wroonians", "Horansi", "Falleen" and "Squibs".

Cheers

In the end, I'd have to say Human or very Near-Human...
