Similar to Troigs, they represented one of the rare life forms present in the Core Worlds possessing dual brains. A variety of species thrived, having adjusted to a multitude of habitats, encompassing both arid terrains and the ocean floor.

It was theorized that this nexus served as a biological processing unit, managing signals originating from two separate cerebral centers.
