Ta-da!
121. Brosin. Brosin are near-humans with a history of being used as slave labor in dangerous factories.
There's a problem, though-they're supposedly natives of the Corporate Sector, a place that isn't supposed to have natives. You ignorant sourcebook writers, do some research!
Rating: 0/5. It ticks me off.
122. Brownie. Brownies are actually from Willow, and were put up on Starwars.com's database as an April Fool's gag.
Rating: 0/5. Gar, April Fool's Day is less than a month away, isn't it? Curses!
123. Brrbrlpp. Brrbrlpp are a rare species who are shaped like amoebas, can communicate over long distances and love to talk, and were insensitively called Cold Ones by outsiders, supposedly because "Cold Ones" is easier to say than "Brrbrlpp."
It's harder to spell than it is to say, actually-I imagine it's pronounced "brbrlip." Which is actually pretty easy.
Rating: 4/5. Hooray for random amusing mashup aliens!
124. Brubb. Brubbs are tough-skinned desert dwellers from a high-gravity planet. They also look kinda boring. Pretty much their most notable feature is that their strength and toughness made them popular mercenaries and thugs.
Rating: 3/5. Utterly bland, but a relatively good kind of bland.
125. Bruvian. The article on Bruvians probably took less time to type than it will take you to read this sentence in which I complain about the frequency of articles wherein the information is really truncated single-sentence statements.
Rating: N/A.
126. Bunny. The Bunnies are a gag species, made up entirely of Max of Sam & Max and the Energizer Bunny.
Rating: N/A. At least it's an amusing case, though.
127. Buro. The Buro were rendered extinct by careless environmental destruction by a human crew of a starship.
Which begs the question of how stable a species they really were, or whether they were even truly sapient, or blown up as such by propaganda (the story involved an anti-human terrorist group called the Diversity Alliance), or even if they were actually extinct, since it was a poorly known planet and people rarely travelled there.
Rating: 1/5. At least there's information on them, I guess, even if it may be incorrect...
128. Buzchub. Buzchub look like furry muppets. And that's all I have to say.
Rating: 3/5. Muppets are awesome, so looking like a muppet scores you points.
129. Caamasi. The Caamasi are a species of extremely peaceful beings. They would probably be perfectly capable of defending themselves against most threats, but generally choose to turn the other cheek. This makes them the galaxy's greatest diplomats. Unfortunately for them, they earned the enmity of the Galactic Empire, who rendered their planet uninhabitable from orbit, killing the majority of their population. This is often seen as being one of the catalysts that caused the Rebellion to go into full swing. When it was learned the Bothans had helped the Empire, it so upset so many people throughout the galaxy that there was an impromptu blockade of Bothawui by uncoordinated forces from thousands of planets in response.
Which is to say, the Caamasi are deeply involved in galactic politics, in an important and interesting way.
Rating: 5/5. What else would you expect me to rate an important species from a Zahn novel?
130. Caarite. Caarites are described as appearing childlike to others, but being "sly" and profit-oriented. In effect, they're a race of wheeling and dealing scam artists.
Rating: 1/5. Bah, that offends me.
Huh, I guess #13 suffered from bad selection luck.
-Signing off.
