Echetchens are a sapient humanoid species native*[1] to the planet Ekatgija found at grid N11 in the Milky Way Galaxy's core regions. Much like many other species inhabiting this region, the Echetchens are descended from the now-extinct Sollurians, deriving many of their physical traits from these ancestors they had diverged from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Echetchens have a generally humanoid frame, featuring a torso, two legs, two arms, and a head at the top with dark hair growing out of their scalp. Their most notable physical variation to their relatives is that the typical harder facial patterns seen in their relatives are much harder and larger in the Echetchens, adapting them as shields for their eyes and ears to endure their home-world's harsh sandstorms. On the outer edges of these structures they have four 'whisker-like' structures composed of the same material, which they can use to partially identify upcoming atmospheric conditions.
The Echetchens are an interstellar species that has been spacefaring for thousands of years at this point, establishing a vast interplanetary nation by the name of 'Echqatja' which would later become one of the founders of the Galactic Federation, within which it would later become the 'Federal State of Echqatja'. A plurality of their population still resides within their old borders, yet an increasingly large amount have ventured out and moved to other regions of the Federation or in rarer cases moved to the Federation's various allies in the Galactic Community.
- ↑ The Echetchens are not descended from life native to their home-world of Ekatgija, and are instead a divergent group from a previous now-extinct interstellar species that had colonised it in the past.
