A primitive culture until relatively recently, maraquoi have made rapid technological advances as a result of interplanetary trade, yet they maintain many of the traditions of their ancestors. Maraquoi stand slightly taller than humans on average, and their bodies are covered with silky fur that acts like thousands of tiny antennae, transmitting sound to their sensitive skin. Maraquoi also each have a prehensile simian tail that allows them to manipulate objects.
More than anything else, the maraquoi’s complex genders and familial structures set them apart from other races. Where many humanoid races have a binary system of sexual reproduction, maraquoi have seven different sexes, each playing a different role in the process of reproduction.
