Kiffar

The Kiffar were a species of Near-Humans from the planet Kiffu.

About one in a hundred had the ability to read the memories of inanimate objects by touch, or psychometry. Visually, they were comparable to any Human except for their distinct facial markings. These markings, applied as tattoos when young, were passed down through families on the mother's side, except for on those rare occasions where an individual's mother was not a Kiffar, in which case the father's markings were taken on. Such was the case of Korto Vos, the son of Kiffar Jedi Master Quinlan Vos and Human mother Khaleen Hentz. Clan membership seemed to be passed down on the father's side, although it is unclear what occurred when the father was not a Kiffar, in the case of Ailyn Vel. The Kiffar resided on the planets of Kiffu and Kiffex, and their skin came in as many varying shades as that of Humans. The traditional colors of the facial tattoos were red, yellow, and green. Various patterns and designs were used to identify the clan.

Sintas Vel, the former wife of Boba Fett, was of this species. The Tonnika sisters Brea and Senni were also Kiffar.
