Physiology:
Insectoids with brown or olive skin, the Hiromi are on
the shorter side but relatively stocky. They have no
hair, but they do have two white antennae atop their
head. They have large, yellow eyes with green pupils,
and they have a tongue, which is rare among insects.
On both sides of their mouth, they have a loose flap of
skin in a triangular shape. They also have a sharply
pointed chin.
Society:
Hiromi are an extremely cowardly people; they have
an incredibly strong instinct for self-preservation.
Whenever presented with a chance to fight, they will
almost always suggest some sort of alternative-
bringing in reinforcements, hiding, or even
abandoning the conflict altogether. Although they will
prefer to take on the easiest possible tasks, even if
these tasks do little to contribute to their goals. For
whatever reason, they have an image of themselves
which is the exact opposite of this reality: They
consider themselves to be a species of conquerors,
and describe themselves as “glorious” and “ruthless.”
They enjoy cheering and will celebrate even the most
meaningless of achievements whenever they have a
chance. Another obstacle preventing them from
reaching their goals is an extreme lack of patience, as
they will often quit a task in order to eat or play. All of
these oddities ultimately stem from the unique logic of
the Hiromi. The Hiromi excel in creative thinking and
lateral logic, and they have the mental capabilities to
solve incredibly complex problems, but they lack
much of the more basic logic that other species take
for granted. As such, even their most elaborate plans
are plagued by seemingly obvious issues.
Galactic Conquest:
For about 2,000 years, the Hiromi have been waiting
for the opportunity to take control of the entire galaxy,
but when they do so, their attempts will be abysmal.
Their current plan is to force the galaxy into a civil
war, which they intend to start by pitting the Lahsbee
and the Ewoks against each other. Although both
species are obscure and relatively harmless, the
deceptions of the Hiromi will ultimately fall apart. They
will then invade Zeltros, successfully conquering the
palace kitchens because the Zeltrons won’t care
enough to bother fighting them. At that point, they will
be certain that the entire galaxy will soon follow, and
they will celebrate by eating lunch. They will work
alongside the Zeltrons and Luke Skywalker to defeat
the Tofs, a violent species whose invasion will pose a
legitimate threat. However, upon realizing that their
conquests mean nothing, the Hiromi will return home.
Homeworld:
The location and name of the Hiromi homeworld is
unknown, but they are one of the few species that has
contact with the Tofs from Companion Besh as well as
the rest of the galaxy. They consider their territory an
Empire, although it is likely quite small.
Language:
Likely because of their time spent trying to conquer
the galaxy, a majority of the Hiromi know Basic as well
as their native tongue.
