Froblin
Froblins are distantly related to goblins, and thought to be an evolution brought on by epigenetic forces. The only known Froblin colonies to be found in Wildspace are on the fourth moon of Clixo in Gardenspace, also the only known natural habitat of the green spotted orange toad. The GSO toad is trafficked as a black market item in civilised ports as the source of a powerful hallucinogen, and it has been theorised by more than one affected individual that the goblins of Clixo IV merely licked so many toads they went a bit ‘odd’.
Froblins are laid back and relaxed individuals, often assumed to be lazy or inattentive by others. In fact they are simply unflappable, a beholder could pop out of a Froblin’s lunch bag and they would just blink and ask if they’d seen a sandwich in there. They’re pragmatic aboard ships or stations, securing employment to allow themselves to maintain whatever lifestyle they prefer, which is generally simple. They shy away from law enforcement and other regimented occupations, preferring manual or intellectual labour, customer service, and sales.
Froblins are the collateral victims of regular jokes played on dirtkickers (newcomers to Wildspace). Most civilised space ports have GSO Toad Hounds to sniff out the afore mentioned hallucinogenic amphibian, and veteran spacers regularly convince green sailors that one or more local Froblins are the center figure in some complex web of smuggling and black market deals.
