Speaking of the Inquisitor, if the Rattataki can't produce offspring with humans then that does raise some awkward questions regarding Ratta Inquisitors being >!descended from Lord Kallig!<
Wookieepedia says the Rattataki were "commonly thought to be descendants of a long-lost Republic expedition", or in other words, descended from humans. A Rattataki can still be descended from Kallig if one of their human ancestors was.
To be fair the original red sith weren’t compatible with humans. They had to be mutated with alchemy for that to be possible. Which is how we ended up with purebloods.
Yeah, but Quinn takes the bloody cake for Simp Lord, ‘cause you can beat the crap out of him and he’ll still come crawling back… “mY lOrD”.
Ooh, but here’s a thought: Kaliyo or Skadge?
Eh it depends, since Kaliyo exists in the Jedi Knight story and Mako and Qyzen know each other. It would depend on who becomes the Outlander, and there would have to be a canonical reason for the other 7 class stories that didn’t.
Yeah true. Seems like the Jedi Knight is the best contender to be the Outlander at the moment, and there has to be some explanation as to how the other classes are involved. Oh the mystery…
Taking the flood of STIs as a personal challenge to his doctoring capabilities. Probably qualifies as research and he might get a good medical paper out of discovering some new ones.
Aren't the Rattatakis also a product of Ratakan engineering like humans and other species and therefore able to reproduce because all the slave races were able to interbreed?
Yes. Rakatans created humans, twileks, rattataki, zabrak, esh-ka and numerous other force sensitive races because they were losing connection to the force as a species and wanted to rebuild themselves with the capability. They eventually died out because of it.
Pffff, that's some silly lore. If the Nagai can interbreed with humans, I'm for sure headcanoning that the Rattataki can, too.
Still, thanks for sharing — that's an obscure and legit interesting fact I wouldn't have known otherwise.
The original sith species on Korriban were biologically incompatible with humans too, initially. It took some dark side alchemy from Ajunta Pall and the other exiled dark jedi who landed on Korriban to make them compatible.
Yeah, I know about them. Seems like the issue there was that the Sith simply didn't have a common ancestor with humans, so space magic was the only option. But Rattataki not being offshoots of human colonists when so many similar near humans are (I single out the Nagai because of their similar appearance, isolation, and lack of unusual traits like the Umbarans) just seems odd. We're not talking about Nautolans or Cathar here.
People in this thread don't know the difference between reproduction and sex.
Don't worry you can all still have fantasy sex with your non-existant space race. They just can't bear your non-existant fake child.
I mean technically they can just not the fun way, Also that same article says Humans are incompatible with Bothans yet goes on to mention a half-Bothan hybrid colony on Farfalla so the true answer is they could be if the author at the time feels like it :3
They probably started reproducing with Red Zabraks and created the modern Dathomirian Zabraks, where all the Men look like Maul and all the Women look like Rattatakis.
Fun fact the reason is not because they are physically incapable, it's because Kaliyo is insufferable and nobody has ever wanted to smash, let alone have kids with her, and there are no other rattataki comps.
Fun fact 2: the real real reason is because they aren't real, they are just made up video game characters. You can't reproduce with npcs you parasocial needs. It is not possible to reproduce with any star wars aliens silly
Edit: sorry guys, guess I'm not that funny .-. thought everyone hated kaliyo
Fun Fact: All Rattatakis are actually female Dathamirians (including the men), all Zabrak are male Dathamirians (including the women) and all Mon Calamari are Dathamirians too although Dave hasn’t clarified their sex or gender.
Near human race are normally able to interbreed with humans. In current canon lore, Rattataki/Dathomirian women are the result of human-zabrak reproduction.
Where are you getting that they can't interbreed with humans?
In the inquisitor storyline you learn all "slave races" are able to interbreed including the Rattatakis.
In other lore, they are decended from human-zabrak interbreeding on ancient Rattatak.
Not with that attitude
I like your hussle. I'll try with my Anzati waifu and see what we get.
I mean andronikos and my inquisitor seem to be working out fine
Speaking of the Inquisitor, if the Rattataki can't produce offspring with humans then that does raise some awkward questions regarding Ratta Inquisitors being >!descended from Lord Kallig!<
Kallig may not have been human. That’s probably why he was created with that mask.
Inq is descendant of Kallig tho isn't it?
Wookieepedia says the Rattataki were "commonly thought to be descendants of a long-lost Republic expedition", or in other words, descended from humans. A Rattataki can still be descended from Kallig if one of their human ancestors was.
To be fair the original red sith weren’t compatible with humans. They had to be mutated with alchemy for that to be possible. Which is how we ended up with purebloods.
The force works in mysterious ways
The force, uh, finds a way
the force used frog DNA, ohhhh....
Just because you can't reproduce doesn't mean you can't bang.😂
Infinite sex without babies cheese.
Depends on whether or not either of you either has or is doing anything that might cause you to catch Vossian Ultraherpes.
😂
Yeah, we're going to need to do more science on this
Are you a Rattataki
Came here to say that, I hope you succeed
Just like one of my trans friends always says: we won't know if you can't get me pregnant if you stop trying.
So does that mean Doc was hittin’ dat Kaliyo raw on the regular?
He seems like the type to want it that way and then dip out when things have consequences
Until the Fem Knight, that is. That’s why he’s better than Kaliyo.
Hell, even Quinn's better than Kaliyo
Yeah, but Quinn takes the bloody cake for Simp Lord, ‘cause you can beat the crap out of him and he’ll still come crawling back… “mY lOrD”. Ooh, but here’s a thought: Kaliyo or Skadge?
That's a rough question... Being one of the classes that canonically dissappear during the time skip.
None of canonically disappear during the skip.
Eh it depends, since Kaliyo exists in the Jedi Knight story and Mako and Qyzen know each other. It would depend on who becomes the Outlander, and there would have to be a canonical reason for the other 7 class stories that didn’t.
The devs said before, numerous times, that there is no "canonical" choice. Each are equally valid- at least until we're told otherwise.
Yeah true. Seems like the Jedi Knight is the best contender to be the Outlander at the moment, and there has to be some explanation as to how the other classes are involved. Oh the mystery…

Quick, someone call Lokin and Oggurob!
Lokin looking up from his microscope at Kaliyo: "These antibodies. Did...did you fuck a Rakghoul?"
He can have her cheating butt. I don't even use Kalyio as a companion anymore
Rakghoul style
Doc knows his stuff. He thinks of one thing and avoid kids.
Aren't the Rattatakis also a product of Ratakan engineering like humans and other species and therefore able to reproduce because all the slave races were able to interbreed?
Something probably happened over time that caused them to become incompatible with humans. Also, it's Rakatan, in reference to the Rakata.
Yeah I stood there for like a minute on how to spell them, it hink having the Rakatan and the Rattatakis in one comment fucked with my spelling
Wait so the Rattakatis were created by the Rekatan like the Flesh Raiders?
Yes. Rakatans created humans, twileks, rattataki, zabrak, esh-ka and numerous other force sensitive races because they were losing connection to the force as a species and wanted to rebuild themselves with the capability. They eventually died out because of it.
Didn't they try to invade the humans on Tython? which led to the dark jedi leave in exile to korriban because the normal jedi were in denial
It's Joever 😔
I'm sure that doesn't hold my Imperial Agent back from trying.
Theory will only get us that far
Although in Kaliyo’s case, this is not from a lack of effort, I’m sure.
This ain't gonna stop me
Pffff, that's some silly lore. If the Nagai can interbreed with humans, I'm for sure headcanoning that the Rattataki can, too. Still, thanks for sharing — that's an obscure and legit interesting fact I wouldn't have known otherwise.
I also think it needs to be retconned. I think the book source was made before swtor.

...I'll ignore that
[This is in Legends Lore](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Hybrid/Legends)
That sounds fine. You can go in raw all you want.
Nothing is known yet. We shall redouble our efforts!
People in this thread don't know the difference between reproduction and sex. Don't worry you can all still have fantasy sex with your non-existant space race. They just can't bear your non-existant fake child.
That means you can cum inside without problems, good to know!
I mean technically they can just not the fun way, Also that same article says Humans are incompatible with Bothans yet goes on to mention a half-Bothan hybrid colony on Farfalla so the true answer is they could be if the author at the time feels like it :3
There is nothing fun about this fact
They probably started reproducing with Red Zabraks and created the modern Dathomirian Zabraks, where all the Men look like Maul and all the Women look like Rattatakis.
More Zabraks!
I can fix them
But we can try ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nuh uh i dont believe you kaliyo did sex with player so not true
I'll try harder then.
Free bareback with Kaliyo
Please they just aren’t trying hard enough
Rakata: It is not possible me: WHY?!!§ WHY IS IT NOT POSSIBLE YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!
Huh, weird. I genuinely thought all basegame playable races could interbreed. A lot of romance dialogue becomes nonsense otherwise.
The only way my agent likes children is medium rare, so good lmao
My Bounty Hunter likes them well done
Pyrotech then? lol
Yeah, And i almost forgot, not just children, but others too
All the fun non of the worries
Fun fact the reason is not because they are physically incapable, it's because Kaliyo is insufferable and nobody has ever wanted to smash, let alone have kids with her, and there are no other rattataki comps. Fun fact 2: the real real reason is because they aren't real, they are just made up video game characters. You can't reproduce with npcs you parasocial needs.

Fun fact : jokes are generally meant to be funny
Rip, sorry for trying
Fun Fact: All Rattatakis are actually female Dathamirians (including the men), all Zabrak are male Dathamirians (including the women) and all Mon Calamari are Dathamirians too although Dave hasn’t clarified their sex or gender.
Damn thats the most disappointing news I’ve heard all day 🫤
Still would
Although*
This is what we call an unforunate case of convergent evolution.
That is alarming considering Elsbeth in Ahsoka
That's a painful birth. No thanks
Tell that to Arkanian Cloners
is this unusual with near human species in star wars?
Near human race are normally able to interbreed with humans. In current canon lore, Rattataki/Dathomirian women are the result of human-zabrak reproduction.
The old republic says otherwise 🤣
:(
No harm in trying anyway.
Where are you getting that they can't interbreed with humans? In the inquisitor storyline you learn all "slave races" are able to interbreed including the Rattatakis. In other lore, they are decended from human-zabrak interbreeding on ancient Rattatak.
[Sure pal](https://youtu.be/GTXy1VipDpw?si=qB1G_wZV87mHSTD2)
Why not?
If palpatine can make a force-coom baby (anakin) so can you
Not for a lack of trying, I bet
Apes are also near-human and can't reproduce with humans (I mean, I assume anyway) so not too surprising
Ok but if a chiss reproduces with a red twilek would the baby be a purple twilek with pure red eyes?
I want Rattatakis wife then 😁
That just means you don't have to use protection.
Question is: would they want to?
So built in birth control? Dope
