Echani originate from the Inner Rim, on a world known as Eshan. The society is matrilineal in nature and divided into strict castes. Combat is a prized part of the culture and many believe that you cannot truly know someone until you have fought them.
Names used by the Echani are often, though not always, multi-syllabic in nature. They employ both forenames and surnames with a mixture of common sounds and syllables.
Good Echani Names
Echani names make use of several punchy syllables and often incorporate N, M, D, or K sounds at the end of these syllables.

Drovec Mokah
Years ago, Drovec was the most feared name on all of Eshan. The old warrior still commands respect, but others have eclipsed her bloody star. Now, Drovec spends most of her time in a small cafe, drinking hot beverages and chasing away the younglings constantly pestering her for stories.

Sod Bankir
No one on Eshan has a kind word to say about Sod Bankir. Scheming, they say. Untrustworthy. Sod maintains that he just has a different way of fighting. A better way. One that uses credits instead of fists.

Krandona Zorm
Games are also a form of battle, though many Echani do not see it that way. None of them has ever come up against Krandona Zorm, however. If she asks you if you care for a game, be very sure you will win. Or run.

Mandiah Mezeh
Not all who fight require a weapon, or armor, but those who do swear by the craft of the aging Mandiah Mezeh. Her skill with an edge is rumored to be the greatest in the system. If you need something for a fight, this is where you look.

Emil Voolked
Emil will never be a famous warrior. He will never bring battle to the stars or command grand armies. But he’s happy enough maintaining the peace of his small village. Give him a nice barroom brawl any day. It’s the simple pleasures, really.

Atos Vode
Tough love is synonymous with Atos Vode. No one likes having to visit him, but everyone eventually does. After all, once you get beaten in a fight, someone has to patch you up. That someone is Atos. Though the cure is often more painful than the disease, when you’re in his care.
