The '''Sevari''' were the [[Human/Legends|Human]] native habitants of the [[Spice/Legends|spice]] rich [[Sevarcos II]]. Not much was known of their history, but it was speculated that they were the descendants of an expedition that took place early in the history of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]]. Historical data suggest a connection between the Sevari and a [[Colony ship/Legends|colony ship]] called the ''[[Sevari Cabal]]'' which was lost.

==Society and culture==
The Sevari lived in clans that oversaw the mining and trading of spice, although the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Empire]] controlled it during the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]], each clan having its own rigid social structure. Arranged intermarriages to avoid feuds were quite common. Each clan was ruled by a much respected [[clan leader]], who in turn was subordinate to a [[clan lord]] who maintained stability over multiple augmentative clans. The strongest clan lords were granted the title of [[spice lord]]s.

The clans in the [[Southern Deserts]] were largely nomadic, while those of the [[Northern Frontier]] lived in the shelters of the mining operations in the mountains. The clans of the [[Equatorial Belt]] were typically the most wealthy due to the rich abundance of spice in that area. The clans would meet annually at the [[Festival of the High Winds]], where the Sevari would hold religious ceremonies and participate in wind race tournaments, while the Spice Lords discussed space mining and trade.

==Technology==
The Sevari shunned modern technology and preferred ancient technology reminiscent of what was seen in the early days of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Old Republic]], such as sail driven [[Repulsorlift/Legends|repulsorlift]] vehicles, referred to as [[wind rider]]s. They would also make use of [[Sevari Flashpistol|flashpistol]] technology rather than [[Blaster/Legends|blaster]] weapons.

==Spice narcosis==
The Sevari had developed immunity towards the effects of spice, but were prone to going into [[spice narcosis]] when venturing off the planet into spice free atmospheres.

==Known Sevari==
The Sevari were rather reclusive and secretive and only few were well known outside of the Sevari society. Three prominent Sevari Spice Lords during the Galactic Civil War were [[Xerxes Quintas]] of the [[Southern Deserts]], [[Cassius Nolath Rha]] of the [[Equatorial Belt]], and [[Lord/Legends|Lady]] [[Trevael]] of the [[Northern Frontier]].
