Pale-blue skinned humanoids possessing golden eyes were known as Ferroans. The majority of the women had white hair, although some retained the more common black coloration. Originating from Ferro, they established colonies throughout the Inner Ferro systems. Their defining characteristics included their independent spirit, solitary nature, and infrequent departures from their own territories.
The duration of a Ferroan year was equivalent to three standard Earth years. They observed Uniting Day on Zonama Sekot as a special occasion.
These people were the original settlers of Zonama Sekot and adherents to the Potentium philosophy. Luke Skywalker, upon their initial encounter, mistakenly referred to them as Zonamans.
The Ferroan inhabitants of Zonama Sekot possessed a heightened awareness of the concept of a living planet, with many having developed a strong connection to the surrounding lifeforces from an early age. Nevertheless, their relationship was not symbiotic in the same way that the Yuuzhan Vong were once thought to be.
