@@tzimiscelord8483 Not necessarily. A Givin ship could probably get by with just pressurizing and adding life support to the command deck and living quarters. Hallways they could keep as a vacuum since they'd only be using them to walk through quickly with having airlocks at each end. Based on how they were described in the video, they might also not need to worry about depressurizing the airlock as they wouldn't die from the pressure change when they go into the hallway (though this is conjecture of course). Heck they might even decide to just use magnetic fields like are used in hangars to just walk through with airlocks just being there in the case the shields fail. Other efficiency minded species that can't survive in a vacuum would likely still choose to keep these hallways pressurized because waiting for an airlock to cycle through so they can enter/exit a hallway would slow them down drastically. They'd likely rather have their ships be a little bit less efficient energy wise so they could be more efficient at their own tasks.

The way I remember it, Givin ships do have life support but it isn't present everywhere, leaving parts of their ship un-pressurized. More importantly, Givin ships were infamous for being built to easily vent their internal atmosphere as an anti-boarding procedure.

It's my new favorite species.

In the old West End Games Star Wars TTRPG, Given was one of the races in the extended books, and I enjoyed playing one of these folk who was a ship pilot/mechanic. He considered himself a dunce among his people, and thus took to the stars where he would not be in the way or shame his family. While not a fighter per se, he did successfully figure the force needed to bounce a grenade to where he wanted it several times. His party was impressed, which he thought odd as such basic formulas were the center of most games played by Given Toddlers. Playing up the alien mindset, I both amused and frustrated the other characters in the party (fortunately, the players tended more towards amused!). A fond memory for me.

I love weird alien civilizations like this. I’ve made a really cool alien civilization for my own project. They live in the deep core of the Milky Way, and they obsess with discovery and the cataloging of all life. They are slug-like and communicate using their tentacle-like reproductive organs, as they emit various pheromones that they can use to communicate with each other. Interestingly enough, they consider their “foot” (the thing snails/slugs use to get around) as inappropriate to show, and only shown to others during… intimate… encounters. Oh and they also hail from the very bottom of an ice moon’s subterranean ocean, and are the oldest surviving civilization in the Milky Way.

@@spaceengineeringempire4086 It's not so simple as being able to have them speak and prove they aren't ravening monsters, the problem is expression. How do they emote? Making sure human or humanoid characters express emotion properly is easy. Even if you've fucked up their faces off of the human template they've still got body language to tie them to humans and if their faces are similar enough you're golden, you know how to make your characters emote and everyone knows what the emotions mean because everyone is human by definition. But what happens if you don't have that human emotional template? You as a writer need to define for yourself how these creatures emote purely for your own purposes but then you need to explain each new motion these creatures make both to the characters coming into contact with them and the audience. Every story needs world building but you're only inviting complexity on yourself when you involve a huge amount of species building as well. Not to mention, you mention having a 'translator' like it's a simple thing to implement in a story of first contact. You don't have technology which can intersect across a language divide and you certainly don't have common written lettering or spoken language commonality unless there's some real deep chicanery going on within your plot. Of course you could have the Aliens understand you because they've been observing you without your knowledge but that changes the whole story dynamic doesn't it? This species might not be very moral, spying on people like that, or they might be afraid, and afraid people or things take radical action, changing your plot further. What I mean to say is, you can't write Sci-fi without logic, you've got to do a lot of it, erego the less unnecessary logiking and work you create for yourself the better off you'll be.

The fun ironic thing is the exit polls and statitistics would Still be wrong but they'd at least figure out the Separatists had 0% chance of winning and Nute Gunray had more to fear from Darth Sidious than he did from the Senate.
