Offworlders initially traded water for mineral rights, but soon discovered that salt was a highly addictive hallucinogen for the Arcona. After adapting to other species' technology not present on Cona, the Arcona were commonly seen in every spaceport in the galaxy. As a consequence, Arcona colonies were quite common throughout the galaxy. When scouts from the Galactic Republic first arrived on Cona, many Arcona were extremely enthusiastic about exploring the galaxy oftentimes, whole communities sought to travel off-world. Although they eventually used sentient technology, they never developed any of their own. The effects of salt on the Arcona resembled that of intoxication an Arcona was seen in a dive bar consuming a soup in which he had poured an entire salt shaker's worth of salt, then was observed stumbling out of a cantina "like it was last call." History īefore they made contact with the greater galaxy, the Arcona were not technologically advanced. Their eyes shifted from green to gold after prolonged addiction. Īrcona were highly susceptible to addiction to salt, which served as a hallucinogen. Arcona took much time courting a partner, and the commitment to marry was also a commitment to parent. Īrcona females were considered far more reckless and free-spirited than their male counterparts, so the males usually raised the children. However, on off-world colonies, Arcona young were rarely taught Arconese, as they could learn Basic easily. The language of the Arcona was Arconese, which came from their home planet of Cona. Because Arcona were born in nests underground, they obtained a close sense of family living in close quarters with brothers and sisters. The Arcona lived in loose, family-based communities called nests, which were ruled by a Grand Nest. Largely forsaking individuality, they often referred to themselves as "we" even when alone. Society and culture Īrcona normally thought of themselves not as individuals but as a collective whole. This helped them distinguish objects in their environment that they otherwise could not make out and also gave them a keen sense of smell. Like many reptiles, the Arcona had olfactory organs located in their ever-moving tongues. Thus, the Arcona could recognize someone or something by its heat pattern. Often mistaken for their nose, this organ detected heat patterns from living beings. To aid their poor eyesight, the Arcona had a small diamond-shaped sensory organ between their eyes. Their eyes could not detect fine shapes as they were made up of thousands of tiny photoreceptors like those of an insect, so they only saw blurry objects. ĭespite their bulbous eyes, the Arcona had very poor eyesight. The Arcona depended on the ammonia to live and, as a result, Arcona living offworld had to take ammonia supplements or risk death. The Arcona adapted to this environment by eating the ammonia-converting roots of the complex flora of Cona as a source of water (the only water planet-wide).

The atmosphere was filled with ammonia vapor. Cona, the native planet of the Arcona, was always hot, and had very little water.

The Arcona had flat, anvil-shaped heads, sharp claws, clear, marble-like eyes, and thick, protective skin that ranged in tone from olive to ebony. Hem Dazon, in the Mos Eisley Cantina in 0 BBY
