Ukesse

''"The Ukesse are a neighbouring species to us, they are vastly intelligent and commonly live underwater however they are able to breath above water as well." ''- The Great Library recorder

The Ukesse are a sentient species of people who hail from the planet of Ukessa, the Ukesse were commonly seen underwater as this was their natural habitat however they were very common throughout the galaxy as mercenaries or soldiers within the Central Army.

Biology and appearance
The Ukesse commonly appear with blue skin with some rare exceptions with some being of purple skin colour, most common Ukesse appear with just blue skin and have two sexes of both female and male with both sexes having no hair as it could not grow underwater and because of that evolution to live underwater hair would physically not grow on their body. Certain Ukesse have forms of dark tattoos on their bodies, this represents the warriors and soldiers of their planet, if a Ukesse has tattoos on his arms or chest this means that they were a soldier or still are a soldier for the Ukesse King, if they have tattoos on their face this represents and means that these type of Ukesse served as the elite guard for the King and were solely loyal to him alone. Similar to that of humans the Ukesse walk on two legs and have the same amount of finger and toes, one of the great advantages of the Ukesse is their swiftness and ability to swim faster than any sentient species.

History and culture
The Ukesse were the first species and planet that were visited by Osman who was given an oxygen tank which allowed him to go underwater and visit the King of Ukessa, Osman would be allowed to observe the Ukesse and their lifestyle and after a while Osman would learn their ways becoming a prominent warrior amongst the Ukesse to which he would then ally them to the human colony on Tebion which he then helped them to breath oxygen and not just live underwater which over the centuries allowed them to evolve from just living underwater.

The Ukesse culture is very similar to that of a warrior culture, at birth a Ukesse child is tested mentally and physically with combat classes being taught to them at the age of 10, this allowed the Ukesse to gain strength and combat knowledge from a young age, if a Ukesse could not make it with combat and become a warrior they would be restricted to demeaning tasks such as maintenance and other non combat jobs.
