Upcyclites

The Upcyclites are a race of scavengers that inhabit junk worlds across the galaxy, such as Raxus Prime. They are amphibian humanoid creatures and they have the ability to dissassemble electronic items and reassemble them into new pieces of technology. They then sell this 'junk-tech' and haul them across the galaxy in massive, decommisioned starliners that are often unsafe or wrecked. Their behaviour mimics that of a combination pf Jawas or Jackals, as they are scavengers who are obsessed with technology but, unlike Jawas, they often use piracy to get what they want.

The Upcyclites are humanoid, as in they have two eyes, two legs and two arms, but the resemblance stops there. They are piscine in appearance, and are thought to have originated on a water world before evolving lungs and leaving. They inhabit junk worlds and can breathe in almost any atmosphere, even the highly noxious polluted atmosphere of Urrrrrrrr.

They Travel across the galaxy in repaired freighters that crash on junk worlds, because of this they often malfunction or crash. The Upcyclites have constructed a huge space-city made from junk, and it is called Activetech (originally Active-Teach) after a computer program that taught them Language and technology skills, which they beleive to be their God. This is their 'homeworld', but they live everywhere, this is merely the only 'world' to have a majority of Upcyclite population compared to other species.

They used to be a member race of the Galactic Council but apparently they defected before the Credit Crunch even began. One of the Upcyclite leaders is also apparently a member of the Maths Mafia.
