achtually the rubber mask aliums do have backstory to why they are aquatic etc and they all have compelling "history" as limited as it is and they each were run differently, there were monarchies, merchant republics etc within the federation thing before empire and they still maintained distinct cultures even during clone wars and after, hell even the flying elephant jew from star wars episode 1 had culture and the clones themselves had a homeworld where they were manufactured by some weird kind of hot looking aliums
alls i'm saying is if you're going to make a character distinct them at least give them some fluff on what makes them like that, i get that humanity in the dystopia of star wars and star trek is a globohomo nightmare but that shouldn't justify lazy writing
