Miraluka are remarkably similar to Humans, except for two important and distinctive differences. Miraluka have no eyes, but they have a natural ability to “see” by using the Force. Since they appear Human—including their speech and mannerisms—Miraluka attempt to blend with Humans when traveling throughout the galaxy. Thus, estimating how often they travel or how many live off their home planet of Alpheridies is difficult, but the number is relatively low. To make matters worse, the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus consumed the colony of Katarr after the Jedi Civil War. Currently, no major centers of Miraluka life exist out side their homeworld and colonies, though individuals might be encountered anywhere in the galaxy.
It is highly unusual for an entire sapient species to be Force-sensitive. Given their connection to the Force, it is common for Miraluka to join the Jedi Order. In fact, several Miraluka become central figures in shaping the Jedi traditions during this era. The strength of a Miralukan’s connection to the Force varies by individual. Miraluka who are not powerful enough to become full-fledged Jedi serve the order in supporting roles. Most live lives similar to that of a normal Human.
Miraluka and Humans tend not to intermarry, given the unpredictable and often unhappy genetic results. A rare exception is Krynda, daughter of a Miralukan father and Human mother. She was born with both Force Sight and functioning Human eyes.
Common Characteristics
Personality: Miraluka are a thoughtful, cautious, and deliberative species. They have little interest in personal gain or glory. Some have a strong desire to follow their own path, because of their connection to the Force. They remain committed once a course of action is selected.

Homeworld: The terrestrial world of Alpheridies in the Abron system, in the Expansion Region.
Languages: Miraluka speak Miralukese and Basic.
Example Names: Damaya Guru, Embrul Joff, Jerec, Q’Anilia, Shoaneb Culu, Visas Marr, Zebron Tadro.

Species Traits
Miraluka share the following species traits:
Ability Modifiers: −2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence. Miraluka have keen minds, but their reliance on the Force to perceive their surroundings prevents them from reacting quickly.
Medium Size: Medium creatures have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Speed: Miraluka base speed is 6 squares.
Force Sight: Although blind, Miraluka can “see” through the Force. They act normally without taking any penalties for blindness. This trait enables them to make Perception checks, and read and write as a sighted person. They can, however, ignore the effects of darkness as if they had darkvision. Mlraluka cannot, however, detect creatures that are “invisible” to the Force such as the Yuuzhan Vong and the ysalamiri. These creatures have total concealment from Miraluka as do creatures in areas that dampen or suppress the Force.
Conditional Bonus Feat: A Miraluka who has Use the Force as a trained skill gains Force Training as a bonus feat.
Automatic Languages: Basic, Miralukese
