During the time of the Galactic Republic, they strode eerily through the halls of power. Although few in number, they were always at the forefront of politics. Umbarans had a presence in galactic affairs since the dawn of the Galactic Republic. The Umbarans also had their own military known as the Umbaran militia who protected Umbara and the Umbarans from invasions. The highest caste level, known as Rootai, comprised a council that ruled Umbara, and its members were considered royalty. They could also tell if a person was lying due to their more sensitive eyes and their ability to sense heat. Successful maneuvering however, was rewarded with prestige, making it worth the risk. Dependent upon the rank of the targeted individual, the perpetrator risked a death sentence for themselves and their entire family. Failed plots to ascend the ranks of society were met harshly with the attempted perpetrator imprisoned and their family dropped to one of the lower caste levels. The primary ambition of the average Umbaran was to ascend through the caste levels, using tactics from blackmail and subterfuge to cool assassination, thus priming them for a life in politics. Only those in the top ten caste levels were given the opportunity to leave their homeworld, explaining their rarity outside the Ghost Nebula. Umbaran society was built on a finely detailed caste system comprising almost one hundred levels. Masters of misdirection, these creatures almost never revealed their true thoughts or intentions. Many had a darker sense of humor than the average Human, which would manifest in social interactions. A societal caste system promoted cultural goals of power and influence. Umbarans were highly isolated and manipulative. The Umbaran militia, who took part in the battle of Umbara, wore air-tight helmets that fed them a potent mixture of gases, which enabled Umbarans to be more effective in combat. Due to the Umbara's eternal twilight, their eyes were well adjusted to the dark, but they were easily disoriented when exposed to bright sudden flashes of light. Umbarans were gaunt, frighteningly pale near-Humans with achromatic sunken eyes. Umbarans spoke the language Umbarese which was written using the Umbaran alphabet.
