[size=12]Tritanius Amphemoura - Trite Parasites (Spacebugs)[/size]

Native to: Alpha Quadrant, Betazed II

The trites are shoe-sized creatures supposedly native to Betazed II. Apart from a few in captivity and being studied, they were wiped out on Betazed II. They are capable of surviving in the vacuum of space and are extremely adaptive to different environments. They also re-produce by "dividing" and it is believed that the generations have some sort of genetic memory from their ancestors.

The trites lures other lifeforms to themselves via telepathy. The gelatinous parasite invades a lifeform's body, then rapidly reproduce, the 'host' will be dead in less than 90 seconds. If it absorbs someone, it can take their form and will have his/her memory. Trites also have the ability to mimic other lifeforms via apoptosis (cell suicide), the DNA will be the same as the host, no scan can tell them apart from the real thing. But it will die within 30 hours, but can produce two offspring every 9 to 10 hours. If it hibernates, it can live for 400 years without food.

The trites that Pretoria came across feeds off the bodies of other lifeforms and abnium (a common metal) onboard the Ojibwa, and was able to dissolve through parts of the ship with the sulphuric acids on its "feet".

The trite also learned to grow organic components from eating the DNA matrix. They are considered extremely destructive, they are a solitary species, living and developing on their own after birth (since there doesn't seem to be much of a maturation period).

Their telepathy links the trites together in a Commonality.

[size=12]Mekuia-Fluroids[/size]

Native to: Alpha Quadrant
Found on several planets in the Alpha and Gamma Quadrant


The Mekuia-Fluroids are large, jellyfish-like creatures with quadripartite nuclei. They sport tentacles. They absorb their victim by siphoning blood and organic tissues from any living organism. The raw "materials" gained from absorbing a humaniod being, is used to start a process of celluar division, giving birth of other Mekuia-Fluroid.

A five-stage life-cycle in which the Mekuia-Fluroids go through is followed by two stages of mutation. Thus maturing through four life stages: Alpha, Gamma, Zeta, and Omega.

Each life cycle is marked by Ecdysis (separation of the old exoskeleton, breaking the link holding the skin and internal organs to the exoskeleton). In preparation for ecdysis, the arthropod becomes inactive for a period of time, undergoing apolysis (separation of the old exoskeleton). The resting period is a stage of preparation in the secretion of fluid from the moulting glands of the cellular layer and the loosening of the underpart of the cuticula occurs. Following the shedding of the old cuticula, a new layer is secreted during a second period of inactivity. All cuticular structures are shed at ecdysis, including the endoskeleton, which includes terminal linings of the alimentary tract and of the tracheae if they are present. Then, by crawling movements, the Mekuia pushes forward in the old integumentary shell, which splits down the back allowing it to emerge.

Study and translation of disks found on Site 2 of The Dig, revealed that the Progenitors/Uber civilization created the Mekuia-Fluroids for the purpose of destroying the Trite Parasites, which used to "infest" most of the Alpha and Gamma Quadrants.

Since, archaeologists and scientists are arguing another possible link with Tribbles and Glommers. Seems that the creation of Mekuia-Fluroids had some unintended consequences. Every "fix" creates its own problem, the Mekuia-Fluroids did destroy almost every single Trite Parasite, and they also evolved, soon becoming capable of killing their creators.

Qiel Agae

Native to: unknown

Qiel Agae was made up for 19 species, but three species were the most prominent.

* the Ekillians - resembling a cross between a turtle and a dolphin, this aquatic race is ungainly on land, but almost preternaturally graceful in an oceanic environment. In addition, Ekillians are powerful psionics, which allows them to more than compensate for their cumbersome 'hands'.
* the Naabians - methane-breathing humanoids, this race possess a deep curiosity in alien cultures and societies.
* the Korlivilar - a felinoid race (without the less savoury culinary habits of Lyrans or Kzintis), the Korlivilar are masters of speed and reaction time, but sleepy during the day.
* Nessiekeen, resembling frogs, the oldest Nessiekeen alive is over five metres tall and one thousand years old.

The Grey and Progenitors/Uber civilizations may be related to Qiel Agae, either as a member race or an enemy.

Tarosians

Native to: Alpha Quadrant

Falkar is not typical of the species. The Tarosians have a strong sense of honour, a promise or deal made must be held to. Females are actually taller than males and
every mating cycle produces 2 offspring.

2% of Tarosians have same colours eyes on left and right. These people are considered undesirable.

Tarosian envoys met the Federation in late 2380 but no deals were ever made for trade or interaction.

Until the Borg attack, the Tarosians had no interest in conquest or violence.

Venda

Native to: Delta Quadrant, moved to the Alpha Quadrant 200 years ago

Posted Image
A Cybernetic Warrior humanoid species. On average 1.75m to 1.90m tall, short tempered and aggressive. Having a caste system in place with the Warrior as the superior caste, the Venda evolved by using genetic engineering on their warriors. Taking a DNA sampling or "giftake" from warriors who had proven themselves in battle, the Venda were able to produce more superior forces with each succeeding generation. The body strength of a adult Venda is considerably stronger than a Klingon. Selected sections of their bodies are hard wired with isolinear wires and nano-transmitters. These are most visible on the face, where it is fashioned into their rank and tribal markings. They can also control and interface with almost any computerized system and sub-systems including starfleet's from a distance of about 6.4 meters (19 feet).

These people looks almost like the borg. But their biggest flaw is their attittude. They have too much of it. They often hail vessels from long distance just to intimidate them. During battle the mothership launches it's fightercraft, of which in huge numbers can really piss off Starfleet's larger starships. Futhermore during battle the mothership launches electronic warfare packages, ie: Fire anti-matter all over the immediate battle-area which make targetting difficult, plus multi-layer sensor jamming techniques.

Their military is divided into 6 major clans, and 2 splinted clans. Their biggest vessels the "cruiser class" almost never leave their core worlds, but their cruisers class do. They're starships are painted in the colours and accents indicating to which clan it belongs to (pray we never ran into the DCMS *these are the most elite solders of the Venda confederacy*)

The following is the names of systems that the Venda captured from the Cardassians & Federation: Aiedo, Piata, Molcum, Krup, Tonoe, Zema, Kadary, Meese, Jut, Sommerset, Rykros Minor.

Modavians
A Spiritual humanoid species. Blue feathers covering most of their bodies. Native to the delta quadrant, the Modavians are a peaceful and spiritual people who acheived warp flight about 800 years ago, but did very little exploring beyond their own solar system. By 2106 they had a small empire spanning 5 starsysytems. In 2107 the Modavians discovered a fleet of sleeper ships crossing through their space. They re-awakened the sleeper ship's crew, and invited them to share their space with the Venda. Bored with the Modavian's peaceful way of life, the Venda settled in as the new military, the weak empire started to grow quickly and rapidly.

Over time the two species grew closer and some Modavians abanded it's species way of life, and in turn designed the most dangerous warships this quadrant has ever seen.

In 2246 however their heighted level of technology were noticed by the Borg who attacked the Modavian/Venda empire, with disastrous cascualties on the Modavians and Venda side. After the first Borg attack failed, a combined Modavian and Venda fleet of 1,700 ships launched an all-out attack on the Borg. On the first attack run they were able to destroy several Borg facilities, however for every Borg cube destroyed the Venda fleet lost about 80 vessels. With their first target destroyed, the fleet pressed on and attacked the homeworld. Unfortunately the Borg homeworld had more than enough firepower to defend itself and destroyed the attacking fleet. In the aftermath of this crippling defeat the few surviving Modavian and Venda ships returned back home, and started preparing a new fleet of sleeper ships to escape the quadrant.

Dezolians
A primitive, nocturnal species. Pale gray skin (which becomes red and inflamed if exposed to sunlight). On average 1.50m to 1.60m tall. The Dezolians were a pre industrial species native to the planet "Dezolia", located about 35 light-years from Cardassian space before the Venda invaded and forced them into slavery. Some can be seen working on Venda installations and starships as low level security, engineering staff or laborers.

Sha'Kurian
An artificially engineered race of giants. On average 2.96 m to 3.38 meters tall (9 to 11 feet long). Sha'Kurians are extremely strong but rarely intelligent. Their DNA had been enhanced to resist most types of radiation as well as a fast healing abilities and an immune system to match. Sha'Kurians are extremely strong, capable of picking up and carrying 700 kg (1540 lb.) In most cases Sha'Kurians is sent to work in very hazardous environments, however Sha'Kurians are sometimes promoted as security detail. Average life span is about 26 years.

Sha'Kurians inherit some animal features. Sha'Kurians reach physical maturity at the aproximate age of 4 years, and from that point on they age at a slower rate than humans. However, the process for creating a Sha'Kurians isn't perfect; gene flukes are often present, and such flukes may shorted the life span of the Nidiri for any number of reasons, or for no reason at all. Sha'Kurians have a 13% chance of suddenly dying from a sudden cardiac failure, a pulmonar, or similar organ failure.

The Harunians
The Harunians are a Genetically Engineered Parasite race, they rely on evolution as their weapon. Unlike many other races, the Harunians don't use any technology except what they need. (e.g: Transporter Rooms and Starships) The Harunians are capable using DNA/Genes from other species to create new species which they use as weapons. The Harunians only use certain species that they see "worthy enough" to join their forces. Harunians are capable of digging through the Past Genes of a race and bring them back out into the specie. (e.g: Bring out the brute strength of a past Human Evoloution)

Harunians intend to attack all Races they find. After they discovered the Federation, they started to attack Federation Planets, assimilating all creatures on their planets.
