A bipedal insectoid sentient species with green skin, Verpine had a pair of digitigrade legs that terminated in two-toed feet and a pair of saw-blade[4] arms that ended in three-fingered hands. Their heads sat atop a long neck and featured a pair of antenna, two black eyes, and mouthparts.

The Verpine were a hive-based species. Instead of singing, they rubbed their legs together to produce choral arrangements and communicated by chattering. Verpine displayed affection by rubbing their mouthparts together.

Verpines were also known to make expensive weapons, that were rare outside Roche Asteroid Field and were sought out by mercenaries, assassins, special forces soldiers, such as the Verpine shatter rifle, Verpine heavy shatter rifle, and the Verpine shatter pistol.

They were the namesake of the cruciform Verpine ratchet.
