Zeltrons

From the journals of Krin Koda:
   "We've finally made starfall off of Zeltros. We're four days behind
schedule and low on supplies, but I don't regret the delay. It's been a long
time since I've had so much fun on shore leave.
   "I had, of course, heard rumors about Zeltrons, but nothing could've
prepared me for the actuality of meeting them. They're very similar to
genetically pure humans except in one important respect. Their skin color
runs the whole spectrum of purples from mauve to lilac to pink. I must say,
it does suit them. In general, Zeltrons seem to be slightly taller than
average humans, but that might be because they're all incredibly fit. During
my stay I consumed mass quantities of food and drink. While I put on a couple
kilos, my guide, Feybyan, seemed unaffected by most of what we ate and drank
including one rather potent concoction that he would describe only as
'green'. I would speculate that they have an advanced cardiovascular system
and a hyperactive metabolism. In any case, they don't get hangovers either.
Lucky bastards.
   "Their biology has well adapted them to their most common pasttime: having
fun. To call Zeltrons hedonistic would be a gross understatement. They'll do
anything or go anywhere as long as it seems like fun. I don't wish to imply
that they're completely frivolous. Many of the Zeltrons I encountered were
bright and intelligent and curious about some of my advanced technologies and
news of the outside galaxy.
   "I did observe a bit of Zeltron culture that I had not heard about. Wrong
a Zeltron and you've got an enemy for life. While brunching at the Pink
Pfarfin Bar and Grill, I observed a young Zeltron attack a disreputable
Corellian trader. The Zeltron was a child really, but the cold and brutal
manner in which he dispatched the trader was quite chilling. Wisely, I chose
not to get involved. Feybyan later explained that the trader had murdered the
boy's father in a dispute over a card game many seasons back, and the boy had
been waiting for the Corellian to return to Zeltros.
   "However, I've found Zeltrons to be an affable and friendly people. I'm
not sure I could manage their style of life on a permanent basis, but once I
get rid of that damn medallion, I plan on returning."

them +2D on all Stamina, Survival, and Willpower skill checks.

Story Factors:
Hedonistic: Zeltrons love to party and will do so at any excuse. 

They're Purple: Zeltrons have purple skin and hair. As a result Zeltrons tend
to stick out in a crowd. Further, popular Zeltron fashion emphasizes clashing
colors and flamboyant modes of dress, making them all the more obvious. Of
course, they prefer it this way.
