Anzellan
Note:
Unlike many of the species in this guide, Anzellans
are exclusive to Canon. Furthermore, everything
following the physiology section is made up entirely,
as I need to fill this page, and having societal
information should make Anzellan characters more
interesting. However, just as many Legends species
could also exist in Canon, nothing prevents Anzellans
from existing in Legends.

Physiology:
Anzellans are one the galaxy's smallest sentient
species, about a quarter of a meter in height. They
have skin in shades of pink, tan, and gray, and they
have three digits on each of their limbs. Their wide
head lacks a nose but boasts two wide eyes, both of
which have micro-lenses that are capable of seeing
details which would be microscopic to other species.
They typically have whiskers of some sort.
Tending to plan ahead extensively, Anzellans are a
detail-oriented people. They believe that everything
can be optimized, the concepts such as subjectivity or
multiple valid approaches are generally foreign to
them. Anzellans are a technically inclined species, so
this is apparent in their work. They prefer to
mass-produce, finding overarching solutions that are
repeated to the letter in every scenario. Although
most of their technology is rarely seen among other
species because it is intended only for usage by
smaller species, those who do utilise Anzellan
technology will discover that it has been carefully
planned and is almost never modified or revised in
any way. Because of these tendencies, Anzellans
excel in research and development work but are
overwhelmed when needing to improvise with limited
time or facing problems where their usual solutions do
not work. Many Anzellans learn to trust the counsel of
other species in these situations, while those who do
not are often overwhelmed.
Benefits of Size:
Although their small size can be a setback in many
situations, Anzellans often take advantage of it by
travelling offworld, where their cost of living is much
lower than it would be for members of larger species.
With their expenses much lower, Anzellans are often
able to save up enough money to last a year during
only a few months of work. As such, many of them
are able to spend much of their time relaxing,
vacationing, or working on hobbies. Unfortunately, this
has created a stereotype that Anzellans are lazy or
uncommitted to their work, and it has tainted their
reputation in the corporate world.
Homeworld:
Anzellans come from Zell, a mostly urban Mid Rim
planet with sizable manufacturing industries. Their
architecture is incredibly dull, having little decoration
and being eerily uniform in its utilitarian style.
Because it is designed exclusively for beings of their
small size, offworlders spend little time on it beyond
the spaceports.
Language:
Anzellans rarely ever speak Basic, and they continue
to use their native language of Nazellia. Even those
who know Basic use Nazellia whenever they have the
chance to, as they see it as the optimal language.
