Homebrew Duenna Species Details

The Duenna, alongside the Andomar, are the founding species of the Concord and are the original pilots of the Theamise. Hailing from Ter-Errath, the Duenna are widely known for their deep understanding of terrestrial composition thanks to their long standing tradition of mining with a vast network of underground cities that span the entirety of Ter-Errath. It is this tradition that allowed the Duenna to begin the Concord’s asteroid-mining enterprises as well as provide the original engineering that allowed the Theamise to make its maiden voyage. The Duenna are happiest surrounded by circuitry in engine rooms, making up some of the finest engineers and pilots in the Concord.
