A species I think should not be allowed for players, but for the sake of completeness, here we go.

Addendum: After doing some additional research on this species I have made some big changes. Please take a look and post your comments.

Diathim v1.01
Six-winged, luminous beings found only on Iego's copious moonlets, Diathim (Often referred to as "Angels") are rumored to be the most beautiful creatures in the universe. Those who get caught in their spell, in their brief moments of delirium, will gladly crash their Starships on Iego in order to spend the rest of their lives near to objects of their desire.

The Diathim are reputed for their beauty, and the way in which they appear varies depending on the beholder. They share their habitat with the Maelibi, who lived below the ground. Since the Diathim are only seen when they gathered in flocks to welcome arriving ships, knowledge of what their habitat looked like remained hidden to outsiders.

Personality: The Diathim give off an aura of kindness, and are consistently described as benevolent by those spacers who propagated the legend of the Angels. They describe themselves as a peaceful people. However, the Diathim are fascinated by spacecrafts, which often prompts them to mob any ships that found themselves in the vicinity of their homeworlds, Iego and Millius Prime.
Physical Description: The Diathim seem to be made of blazing white light tinged with a yellow aura, which suggests they are beings of pure energy. At any rate, their intense radiance made it difficult to make out their biological details. Most accounts depict them as slender, 2 to 3 meter tall feminine anthropoids with six blade-shaped wings protruding from their backs.
Homeworld: The "Planet of a Thousand Moons," known as Iego, as well as its largest moon, Millius Prime. Both are located in the Outer Rim.
Languages: Diathim have no apparent language of their own, primarily communicating through Telepathy, though some of them learn to speak Basic.
Adventurers: Many Diathims are fascinated by Starships and the like, causing many to drift into the profession of Technician. More practical Diathims focus on their natural talents, becoming Nobles and Force Prodigies. There are no known Diathim Jedi, though there is a first time for everything.

DIATHIM
Homeworld: Iego
Attribute Dice: 12D
DEXTERITY 2D/4D
KNOWLEDGE 2D/4D
MECHANICAL 1D+1/3D+1
PERCEPTION 3D+1/5D+1
STRENGTH 1D/3D
TECHNICAL 2D/4D
Special Ability:

-- Unique Physiology: Diathim are able to draw nutrition from any environment, including space and never suffer from the effects of starvation. They are immune to effects of vacuum and can fly in a vacuum without hindrance or penalty.
-- Bio-Luminescence: Diathims glow in the dark, reducing the effectiveness of vision-based cover by -2D.
-- Blindsight: Diathim can see normally in bright light or darkness without penalty.
-- Energy Pulse: A diatham can emit a white burst of energy from its chest that deals 3D damage to the target (1-10/20/30). To manifest this ability the Diathim character rolls a Moderate Perception check (this does not count as an action). If successful, make a skill roll to see if they hit their target and calculate damage normally. If the roll fails, the diathem continues normally declaring its action that round. Author 's Note: The special ability Energy Pulse only appears in the New Creature: Diathim section of the Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds sourcebook (pg.72). In no other sources does it appear and it is strongly suggested it not be allowed and is included only for sake completeness.
Story Factors:
-- Mesmerizing Appearance: Rumored to be the most beautiful creatures in the universe, Diathim also give off an aura of benevolence. Sometimes, observers experience brief moments of delerium, even gladly crashing their ships in order to spend the rest of their lives near the objects of their desire.
