One of the galaxy's two sentient aquatic species, the Captab are an amphibious people from the planet of Soni V in the Soni system. About the size and shape of a rugby ball, the Captab don't look like much but find themselves as one of the great powers currently in the galaxy. Tenacious, relentless, and to many sentients not a little annoying, the Captab have pulled themselves into galactic prominence through sheer guts and intestinal fortitude in spite of making a mortal enemy of the galaxy's most powerful species, the Twis'rin. After all, though they can make powerful enemies, they have also been able to make powerful friends when the need has arisen, and few species can count themselves the Captab's foe.
