Bardeezans are short, stocky and tanned. Males often have facial hair, and is often braided and combed. Females are shorter and of course, beardless, but no less stocky. They possess great strength for their size and can endure harsh climates for extended periods. They are also very long lived, not reaching maturity until their 50s, and living to about 200 years, barring accidents. | Bardeezans are short, stocky and tanned.

==Culture== | ==Culture== | ||
Bardeezan culture is very heavily focused on oral tradition, with songs and storytelling still very popular despite advances in modern media. Young Bardeezans are far more likely to be found sitting around a camp fire listening to an elder telling them about adventures of the past than have them being glued in front of a view screen. The use of primitive holodecks have, however, grown in popularity so they can relive the sagas of old. | Bardeezan culture is very heavily focused on oral tradition, with songs and storytelling still very popular despite advances in modern media.

A quirk of their culture is that everyone and place on Bardeez is numbered, so all proper nouns are a phonetic pronounciation of the first nine numbers. For example, Landinam Losifar is 1-5-6-4. | A quirk of their culture is that everyone and place on Bardeez is numbered, so all proper nouns are a phonetic pronounciation of the first nine numbers.

Bardeezan merchant ships have traversed the [[ma:Bajoran wormhole|Bajoran wormhole]] into the [[Gamma Quadrant]]. One such ship left [[ma:Deep Space 9|Deep Space Nine]] the night [[ma:Dukat|Dukat]] was kidnapped by the [[ma:Maquis|Maquis]]. As one of only two to do so, suspicion quickly shifted to the other ship, a Galdador freighter. | |||
