Orantakken
Orantakken are telepathic humanoids from the planet Oran'taku located just outside the Delphic
Expanse. The Orantakken had no concept of spoken language until they made first contact with other
species.
Orantakken telepathy is different from most telepathy. Most races telepathically transmit words and
sounds, the Orantakken however transmit pure thoughts and images. This is far more efficient but can
only be practiced by Orantakken.
The second and even more interesting aspect of the Orantakken’s telepathic ability is their ability to
recognize each living organism by its’ genetic resonance frequency. That ability combined with their
natural eidetic memories allows them to experience and study the worlds around them with quite a
unique perspective.
The Orantakken appear to be standard humanoids with a textured bony enlargement just over the
ears. Orantakken technology is limited to rudimentary interstellar space flight via non-warp
technology equal to Warp One.
Physiology: Physiologically, Orantakken are humanoid with their only known external difference
from Humans being a series of horizontal ridges down the back of their neck and along their
spine. Orantakken traditionally mate for life. When two Orantakken have intimate relations their
body chemistry becomes interdependent, causing withdrawal symptoms if the two people
separate. The effect gets stronger with each mating and separation can be fatal.
