    There's no reason to assume 'Half-Bothan' implies a true hybrid, rather than simply a lab-created species that is primarily human but includes some percentage of Bothan genetic material and appropriately modified expression patterns. Far cleaner that way.

    Certainly. I am even pretending that Suu's kids are lab experiments that she saved them from said lab.

    Just that....they don't even look like they were spliced with bothans, since bothans have no horns and their legs don't bend that way.

    I still think it's pretty funny that TOR calls them "Purebloods". Does the game ever address it, or is it just a case of them forgetting that the ethnic Sith are all hybrids by this point and using the term to differentiate from Sith recruited from other species?

    Well, yeah, I know the game does that, I was just curious if it ever acknowledges that the term doesn't really make much sense.

    The Codex kind of doess acknowledge that it is a rather moot point
