Nyxar

Blind deep-space echolocator xenosapient species from the rogue planet Nyx.

Nyxar evolved on Nyx, a rogue planet adrift in interstellar space with no star, no sunlight, and an atmosphere of dense cryogenic mist. They have no eyes, instead navigating by a sophisticated ultrasonic echolocation that functions in Vacuum via substrate vibration. Nyxar society is organised around resonance-halls where sound-sculptures encode their oral history. They were discovered by Confederation surveyors who mistook their world for a dead iceball and were startled when the ice started humming back. Nyxar serve the Rim as unparalleled scouts, assassins, and salvage operators. Their blindness grants them total immunity to gaze attacks and visual illusions, but they cannot read text, view screens, or perceive colour. Most Nyxar carry haptic tablets that convert visual data to tactile patterns.
