Nuu

Nuu are a species native to the planet Golchar. Every origin story you will hear about them is different, and equally wrong. The only certainty is that a multi-century long famine (the Dearth) gripped Golchar, turning nuu culture and everything else on its head. Very little documentation on times before this have survived Golchar's star's detonation.

All surviving Nuu are infected with an incurable fungal disease that shortens their lifespan to an average of 40 years.

Most Nuu cultures are infamous for the regular practice of self mutilation. Even reformed traditions use it as means of art and personal expression. This paired with their stench of corpse and many other issues have made them largely disliked in the galactic community.

The largest Nuu religion is currently a doomsday cult founded during the Dearth as an explanation for crop failures.
