Chiss are also said to highly respect the people that out-rank them. They see duty as all important, and will often refer to a person by their rank more than their name. AFAIK, Chiss are in a strange place, morally speaking. They dislike unecessary sacrifice of life, but then again, will do anything to accomplish their goals, anything short of genocide, or so I've read. I imagine this is a conscious choice of behalf of the Chiss indiviudal. When I play my Chiss character in game, I often get light side points for trying to save as many lives as possible. I also voice-act a Chiss for The Aartan Legacy audio drama on the Aartan Away Podcast site.
