bluehufsa Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Hi. I'm curious, which species can procreate with other species? Is there any mention in the Lore about children with (as an example) a human parent and a pureblood parent? Or one Chiss one human? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lore, I believe, says that the current "pureblood" are merely "much less diluted than the general Imperial population" rather than "actually really pure-blooded". They are, nevertheless, able to have children with humans, which is the origin of Lord Abaron's mission on Korriban. Indeed, the lore also suggests that most of the Imperial population has some amount of PBS ancestry alongside their human ancestry. 3 hours ago, Nee-Elder said: Not sure about 'Chiss' rules though.

bluehufsa Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 OK, so we know Sith Pureblood & humans could have children. Miraluka & humans too. But is there, anywhere, any mention of Chiss? How about red-skinned Zabrak & white-skinned Zabrak? I'm asking because there's a topic about Chiss Sith Inquisitor - some say Kallig couldn't be a Chiss, because by the time the "modern" Chiss appeared, Kallig was long dead. One other inconsistency or rather discrepancy - if a white skinned Zabrak male smuggler romances Akaavi Spar, they talk about adopting children instead of having children of their own, which led me to believe the two Zabrak variations cannot concieve together.

Doc says something similar to a Miraluka JK female despite them being (according to the lore) fertile together. I think it's down to the code not taking all the combinations into account rather than anything about the lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Doc, being a medical doctor, knew the offspring between a human and a Miraluka would be genetically inferior and talked about adopting children on purpose?

Maybe, but he says "genetic incompatibility" rather than citing the thing I cited. I'd really hope he was capable of understanding that his lover/wife deserves more than just empty platitudes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc is a bit of an.. * censored word* and honestly I don't expect him to respect his Jedi wife. This entire thing about mixed races is a bit confusing, at least to me. What do we know this far : Sith Pureblood + Human = Children, Human +Miraluka = Children. But nothing about Chiss, Zabrak or Zeltron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayddow Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 As far as the dialogue on "adoption" I would ignore it. It comes before different species were available to both factions. You get a similar response with romancing Jorgan with a Cathar female. Which obviously DON'T have to adopt. I would say in a world in which the Force exists, all combinations could be made. (some would still take more effort). Sith alchemy might help too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosechyld Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'd assume any race that's more humanoid then not would likely able to procreate. At least, to varying degrees of success. The more alien races - Cathar, Tortuga, etc likely can't though. As for Chiss specifically.. I'd assume probably? Since they were Humans before they were hit with an evolutionary bat. Maybe they're on the less successful end, maybe its all bs and Chiss just dont want people intermingling because something something something zenophobic insular society something something. Who's to say really? (Other then bioware) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
