Though sharing common genetic history with humans, Miraluka have evolved into a significantly different species because they are born without eyes. On their home world of Alpheridies, the only source of light is a red dwarf star which emits light only in the infrared spectrum. Over the centuries, the Miraluka adapted and developed the ability to see their surroundings through the Force. Though they retain vestigial eye sockets, Miraluka wear decorative veils and generally have little trouble assimilating into human society.
🔗 Written guide: swtorista.com/articles/miraluka/
Miraluka have lived primarily in isolation over the millennia, but because of their Force sensitivity, they have had relations with the Jedi and some Miraluka have even joined the Order. That relationship has grown even stronger since the Jedi Civil War when the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus destroyed the Miraluka colony on the world of Katarr. The only survivor of that attack-a Miraluka named Visas Marr-was known to have traveled with the Jedi Exile and later to have helped rebuild the Jedi Order.

I usually play my Miraluka as Jedi. But there's something particularly amusing about a Miraluka gunslinger or sniper lol. The notion of a keen marksman who doesn't even have eyes just amuses me to no end.

Star Wars canon has shown us that in order to make precision shots you must either be partially blind or off-screen somewhere.

My main Jedi Knight is a Miraluka, Helen Purl, she would me the MAIN character of the story, the alliance commander, the one who has Valcorian in her head, dose most of the main missions with the others handling recruiting companions and aiding in some of the main ones, but she is the true leader and focus of the story of SWTOR in my book, been the hero and bringing the alliance and Republic together to end the threat of the sith... for about 1500 years give or take

If that’s the case, then how are you able to type this comment? I mean no offense, I’m just genuinely curious. Did you get someone else to type it, or are you not completely blind, & can still see somewhat?

Miraluka inquisitor or counselor is the best to me I imagine you being able to see with the force gives you a special connection so the idea of you being a warrior type is unlikely that and the idea of your sith ancestor not being human but miraluka further summits the idea the empire needs reform to my inquisitor

@nonamegiven202 2 года назад

Oh Miraluka, well known as the buyers of kreia's robes ;) but yeah I do love the my Miraluka sith assassin who just runs around the empire peeking at people's alignment and seeing how many of us can't do dark side. Maybe after combat styles I'll finally make a sith warrior one because jaesa's whole deal, like i doubt there will be any actual acknowledgement about it but i would find it amusing ;)

I love Miraluka species cause it makes a lot if since that some humans have evolved because they lived on other planets and that made their genetics change

@NCRVeteranRanger 2 года назад

IIRC, there’s a theory in Star Wars legends that the Chiss are descended from humans that evolved into the Chiss, due to the freezing climate & icy geography of their homeworld. Not only that, but in the lowest level of Coruscant, there is a species of hostile feral creatures that evolved (or devolved) from humans trapped under there countless years ago. They don’t have any eyes, & rely on their other senses to hunt prey.

I only have 1 Miraluka as a Jedi Sage Healer - Luceferia the Light Sider, she has a Kathar Blade instead of a Light Saber, to remeber the tragic past to not relive it once again. )))

@sofaking1627 Год назад

I love the roleplaying tips, thank you. I think I'm going to drop a few dollars to get a Miraluka, the game has given me several hours of fun in just a few days so I can justify a little support.

@kmac169 2 года назад

My Miraluka was created to see what the Jedi Shadow was like and I chose the race just for something different... the funny thing is that as I plan to restart (or just get rid of) the majority of my character and start fresh when the new update comes (if it manages to make it's new deadline) she is the one of the only (if not the only) character I don't plan to get rid of or start over with. I liked the look I achieved with her (and had for the majority of the game), I'm happy with all the story choices I made with her so far, and most surprising of all I actually enjoy the Shadow/Assassin play style... so yeah, funny how things work out.

I have a character that I rp that's a Miraluka Luka Sene. It's very interesting working with a character when there isn't all that much lore. I have vision issues in rl that both makes rping one a bit of an inside joke, but also inform some of how I envision her seeing. Great video for my favorite species in star wars! They don't get used near enough. When they finally bring them to live action, I'm going to be thrilled.

The DM for my SW5e campaign has never seen any Star Trek. Therefore he is completely unaware that for 2 years I have been openly roleplaying a Trek-based character as a joke. To him, my character is just a homebrewed Balosar/Chiss hybrid. In actuality, the character is Andorian. 😂

Do you guys know if there are going to be any new customization options in 7.0 like new eye bands for Miralukas or sth?

@WookieeRage 2 года назад

I couldn't help but notice your 2B recreation so had to try that. For the leggings I'm guessing you used shorts of some kind or did you try to replicate the stockings? And for the shoes, I never realized how impossible it is to find something that looks like a shoe since every footwear is a boot of some kind. So I'm curious what you used for your legs and feet. I've been thinking of doing a cyberpunk themed Miraluka but don't have a cool backstory yet. On an rpg note, a friend was playing a Miraluka Jedi in a rpg group I'm in and hearing you describe their force sense I would think they would have more of a 360 vision than light sighted beings.

And here I thought we would hear more about the inquisitor Jerec, the main antagonist of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II video games and one of the very few more famous Miraluka characters in the lore... damn shame we got only name-drop and a thumbnail... :( I get it is Legends and not the current Canon under Disney-owned Lucasfilm, but so is SWTOR. And honestly, I would have preffered to hear a bit more about Jerec than having three times the retelling of Destruction of Katarr. Damn how much I would like to like this video if it wasn't for this issue...

@animeguy10000000 2 года назад

I made an interesting background for my Miraluka characters. Their father is half Sith Pureblood-half Human smuggler who was living in Republic Space. One of them went into the Jedi Order, and the other one, who didn't have as strong of a connection to the Force joined the Republic Army.

@wargamesmaster 2 года назад

I also plan to make a Miraluka Sith Sorcerer once the 7.0 update is out, really hope the level of allignment in the Force needed to get the Light/Dark side equivalent of a Force class isn't level 5 (mostly because the best "Dark side" looks in my opinion is the level 1 but also I do not want to put a LOT of effort to be able to play something like a Dark Side Jedi Knight/Sith Juggernaut or a Light Side Sith Inquisitor/Jedi Sage).

There's plenty of clture! Just the most common question is "how do I unlock Miraluka" and the answer is complicated lol.

@tobarstep 2 года назад

Just went on the PTS today for the first time and decided to make a new character. Oof... trying to play without all my legacy unlocks is tough 😅. Some observations: I got my character from 1-15 and was still unable to select a discipline. Maybe it was a glitch and I should try again. I also noticed that you can't unlock your second combat style until you've completed the class story, so make sure you're happy with your initial selection! Overall I'm unimpressed by the combat style system after all the initial hype. Finally, my legacy technically unlocked at level 10, but I couldn't actually do anything with my legacy until I completed the starter planet (not even name it). So, to update this: being unable to select disciplines does seem to be some kind of glitch. Resetting the UI will sometimes fix it, so will changing to a new zone/instance. But not always. I went ahead and copied over a toon so that my legacy would completely unlock and now I can select additional combat styles, even on brand new characters. I still find it somewhat disappointing in its current state. Weapons still do not appear to be working in the Outfitter at all. I'm a bit worried about event the delayed release date now.
