{{Species

The '''Ooxians''' are a diminutive, arboreal species native to the lush treetop canopies of their homeworld, '''[[O'ox Prime]]''', within the '''[[Galaxa]]''' universe. Standing between 2 to 3 feet tall, these green- to teal-skinned beings are recognized by their long, expressive, pointed ears, their prehensile tails, and shifting eye colors, which reflect their levels of '''[[Spice]]''' intoxication. Historically peaceful and prosperous, the '''O'oxians''' built a thriving economy through the mining and trade of '''[[Aruzha]]'''—an exceptionally rare and potent form of '''[[Spice]]'''.{{Species

=== Neurological Adaptation ===

The '''O'oxians''' possess an extraordinarily robust nervous system, enabling them to resist the typical neural degradation associated with long-term '''Spice''' use. This biological advantage allows them to endure continuous '''[[Aruzha]]''' consumption, extending their lifespan by millennia. However, their bodies physically wither over time, although their cognitive and psionic faculties remain intact.

=== Diet ===

Originally omnivorous, '''O'oxians''' have evolved into '''Spice-dependent organisms''' due to environmental saturation of '''[[Aruzha]]'''. Their primary sustenance now comes from inhaling or ingesting Spice particles naturally suspended in the atmosphere of '''[[O'ox Prime]]'''.

== History ==

=== Discovery of Aruzha ===

During their technological revolution, the '''O'oxians''' transitioned from a purely arboreal existence to mining operations after discovering massive deposits of '''[[Aruzha]]''' beneath the surface of '''[[O'ox Prime]]'''. This highly addictive and potent form of '''Azure Spice''' is exceedingly rare, found on only a few hundred planets in the vast expanse of '''[[Galaxa]]'''.

=== The Violet Rain Era ===

Intensive mining of '''[[Aruzha]]''' saturated '''[[O'ox Prime]]’s''' atmosphere with Spice particles, giving rise to a permanent violet haze. This phenomenon caused violet-hued rain to fall—a spectacle that inspired the '''"Violet Rain"''' musical movement within Spice culture. The environmental saturation led to the O'oxian species evolving to rely entirely on Spice for survival.

=== Economic Boom and Cultural Flourishing ===

The '''O'oxians''' prospered through interstellar trade, supplying '''[[Aruzha]]''' to affluent off-worlders. Their society flourished culturally and economically, becoming known for their music, art, and serene demeanor. Their natural resistance to Spice made them ideal miners and merchants.

=== The Kintar Syndicate Takeover ===

This golden age ended when the '''[[Kintar Syndicate]]''', a dominant force in the Spice trade, violently seized control of '''O'oxian [[Spice]]''' operations. The once peaceful '''O'oxians''' were enslaved and forced into relentless mining labor, leading to near-extinction. Only a few hundred aristocratic survivors remain, too aged and infertile to repopulate their species.

== Culture ==

* '''Spice Integration:''' Spice is not merely a commodity but an integral part of '''O'oxian''' identity, rituals, and sustenance.

* '''Music and Art:''' Inspired by the '''Violet Rain''', '''O'oxian''' art often features flowing patterns and vibrant purples, reflecting the Spice-saturated atmosphere.

* '''Peaceful Diplomacy:''' Historically pacifistic, '''O'oxians''' engaged in trade and cultural exchange rather than warfare.

* '''Aristocracy:''' Before the fall, the aristocratic class managed trade operations, becoming immensely wealthy and influential in intergalactic markets.

== Legacy and Fate ==

Once a symbol of prosperity, the '''O'oxians''' now face extinction. The remnants of their culture persist through their surviving aristocrats and the continued circulation of [[Aruzha]] in intergalactic black markets. Their downfall stands as a grim reminder of the dangers of unchecked greed and exploitation in the Spice trade.

== Trivia ==

* The '''O'oxian''' saying, ''"To walk in violet rain is to dream in color,"'' became popular among Spice users.

* Due to [[Aruzha]] saturation, '''O'oxian''' respiratory systems evolved to filter Spice directly into their bloodstream.

* The '''Violet Rain''' movement influenced intergalactic music, leading to the creation of the '''Spicewave''' genre.

* A common derogatory term for '''O'oxian''' or anyone that smells of spice is ''"Spice-Head."''
