Melkotian
|
| ||||||||||||
The Melkotians (often referred to as just the "Melkot") have limited physical bodies and perform all tasks using advanced psionic powers. They have squarish heads and thick, rough necks that narrow into small abdominal areas with multiple tentacles. Observation seems to indicate that the Melkot hang in midair and move from place to place by telekinesis. They have great powers of illusion and can create within the minds of other races intricate environmental scenarios that are indiscernible from reality.
Xenophobic in nature, the Melkot have established a vast array of marker buos beyond the limits of their star system. These serve as warning beacons to those who approach and provide mental communication with the intruder spacecraft. Only determined effort by the Federation has convinced the Melkot to participate in a limited cultural exchange.
*NOTE* Per OF Rules & Guidelines, Melkotians fall within the realm of "non-humanoid races" and therefore are NOT playable as a character in OF.
