An old trader's saying warns to be wary of smiling Squibs. Standing about a meter tall, with large doe-eyes, rodent-like muzzles, tufted ears and fur ranging from red to blue in color, Squibs hardly seem imposing. But in the arena of their choice -- bartering -- they are ruthless. The Squibs love haggling, and are gifted at crafting convoluted and ultimately very rewarding trade deals. Often, the end goods aren't what's important -- it's the process the Squibs value.
老行商有句俗话，提醒你要当心满面堆笑的斯奎布人。斯奎布人站高大概一米，有一双天真的大眼睛、啮齿动物状的口鼻和一双毛发丛生的耳朵，毛色从红到蓝不一而足。他们看起来几乎一点都不威武。但在他们选择的领域——易货贸易——方面，他们毫不留情。斯奎布人喜欢讨价还价，十分擅长做复杂但最后回报巨大的生意。通常最终商品不是重点——斯奎布人看重的是过程。

The Squibs evolved on Skor II, a world blessed with nearly limitless resources. These resources, however, were distributed in widely scattered regions of the planet. Consequently, the Squibs soon developed a complex culture of barter and trade as different Squib tribes dealt with one another. Another interesting evolutionary trait is the Squib fur, which acts as a taste and olfactory receptor, enabling a Squib to examine an object by touching it and rubbing it against his or her fur.
斯奎布人是在斯科二号行星上进化的。这是一块几乎拥有无穷资源的宝地。不过，这些资源分布在行星上一些高度分散的地区。因此，随着不同的斯奎布人部落互相打交道，他们迅速发展出一个复杂的易货和贸易文明。另一个有趣的进化特点是斯奎布人的毛发——它们能充当味觉和嗅觉感受器。斯奎布人用他或她的毛发触碰或摩擦一下物品，就能对物品进行检验。

The Squib Polyanarchy consists of communities ruled by a single, but distant, king. The monarch during the fall of the Republic and the time of the Empire was King Ebareebaveebeedee. This revered ruler established an agreement with the Empire in which Squib "workers" (the Empire would qualify them as "slaves") would serve as menial labor aboard Imperial craft. These Squibs would often sneak messages to the Squib Reclamation Fleet, alerting the scavenger species to Imperial dump sites, which the Squibs would then exploit.
斯奎布人无政府联合体由许多社区组成，由一名无为而治的国王统治。在共和国衰落和帝国兴起的那段时间里，埃巴里巴维比迪国王是无政府联合体的君主。这位受人尊重的统治者与帝国达成一项协议，斯奎布“工人”（帝国会赋予他们“奴隶”资格）可以在帝国舰船上服仆役。这些斯奎布人经常将一些消息悄悄传给斯奎布人废品回收舰队，提醒自己的拾荒者同胞注意帝国的垃圾场，奎布人会随后利用这些垃圾场。

The Squibs have developed an advanced technology of space-faring patchwork momships. These ships are generally unarmed, but the Squibs have excelled in adapting tractor beam technology for numerous applications, including defensive and offensive ones. The Squibs have established numerous large corporations, like Squib Reclamation, and Squib Merchandising.
斯奎布人已开发出一种先进的太空远航拼接母船技术。这些飞船通常没有武器，但斯奎布人擅长将牵引波束技术改作许多其它用途，包括用于防御和进攻。斯奎布人建立了许多大公司，比如斯奎布人废品回收公司和斯奎布人商贸联盟。

Squibs are generally confident, gregarious, and annoyingly curious. They tend to run into a situation to examine virtually anything without any regard to apparent or non-apparent dangers. Their fast-paced metabolisms make them a bundle of energy, and they are often regarded as flighty by other beings.
斯奎布人普遍自信，热爱交际，而且好奇得另人厌烦。他们总喜欢闯入某个场面，仔细研究事情的几乎每个方面，而根本不顾是否有明显的危险。快速的新陈代谢使他们精力过剩。其他种族经常把他们看作一群轻浮的人。

Though the Squibs lauded the Jedi Knights for protecting their world during the Clone Wars, they chose to remain neutral in the Galactic Civil War. They gladly scavenged both Imperial and Alliance trash.
虽然斯奎布人称赞绝地武士在克隆人战争中保护了他们的母星，但在银河内战中，斯奎布人选择保持中立。帝国和同盟双方的垃圾他们都乐意回收。
