Delta Quadrant Species (NON-CANNON)<br />
Treebadians<br />
Treebad-3 is a M-class water planet. It has many island chains where the dominant species, the<br />
Treebadians live in relative harmony.<br />
They are a peaceful species of humanoids descendant from octopus like creatures. They are<br />
advanced to about the stage of mid-21st century earth. The live primarily off fish and seaweed but<br />
land bases food stuffs are also grown.<br />
Treebadians look like humans except for dappled skin, longer noses and eyes that are both larger and<br />
more wide apart than humans.<br />
However, getting about will be less of a problem as Treebadians do not recognise each other by facial<br />
features but by smell. Also, several parts of society also go about masked the main three being :<br />
The Do-Sho Monks - Wear baskets with eye-slits on their heads<br />
Vatron Skiff Gangs - Landless gangs that tend to wear shark like masks and are more violent than<br />
normal Treebadians. They style themselves after ancient shark gangs of<br />
more primitive times<br />
The Soft Shelled - All Treebadians wear helmets when they go outside due to having soft skulls. It is<br />
like a human putting on shoes to go outside. Not doing so would get you<br />
noticed. 'The Soft Shelled' take this one step further and wear full visored<br />
helmets. They are considered 'Hypochondriacs' though and a bit sissy-like.<br />
Anyone wanting to pass themselves off as a Treebadian must also use a scent otherwise their human<br />
odour will be immediately spotted as alien. A Treebadian odour can be replicated. Treebadians pick<br />
up the following from scent so this can be pre-programmed :<br />
Gender, Age, Pregnancy/Gravid, Alpha-male/Paterfamilias, Alpha-female/Matron, Soldier/Police,<br />
Ruler/Dominar, Serf/Underclass, Self-worth/Confidence, Guilt, Need to go to the toilet.<br />
There are many more but this should be sufficient for a disguise.<br />
It almost always rains on Treebad-3 and the Treebadians combine scent with licked raindrops. It is not<br />
unusual for meeting Treebadians to lick each other. This is the human equivalent of a hand shake.<br />
Treebadian justice is different from human. Punishments are visited on all family members of a guilty<br />
party. All punishments are physical and immediate, usually a beating or branding. Treebadians are<br />
law-abiding though and this rarely happens.<br />
Due to the fact that they release a scent when they are guilty most Treebadians find it almost<br />
impossible to break the law or tell a lie without being found out. So-much-so they have not developed<br />
any skills in deceit, bargaining, bluffing or diplomacy. Your average Treebadian tells it like it is and is<br />
honest to the point of abruptness.
